Let me give you a little background info...
The house we live in is old. It used to be a company house and it didn't have any type of a/c when we moved in it. It also doesn't have any light fixtures in any of the bedrooms. The bedrooms do have light switches though, they work the plug-in thats along that same wall. So you can plug in a lamp and use the switch to turn it off and on. But that also turns off everything else that may be plugged into that outlet too.
We put an a/c in but the only room we could put it in was our bedroom. (can't use the windows in the living room or kitchen because of the way they are made and we didn't want to cold air blowing on our kids in their bedrooms). Because the a/c is in our room, we have to have a few fans sitting around to blow the cooler air through the house....
Well my 3 yr old came into the living room this morning after he woke up and said "Mom, your fan quit". Ok, I'm stressing because it was already getting hot in the living room and kitchen. Plus we've had problems with the electrical work since we've lived here and the man we rent from never done a thing about it. So, I go out and check the breaker box and nothing is different but I go ahead and reset all of them just in case. Nothing worked. The fan still isn't working (and neither is the tv, the 3 yr olds nintendo or anything else). I went all day long without a fan blowing the cold air through the house. I'm not a fan of the heat and trying to cook and clean it just makes me ill. I try to figure out another place to plug everything in, but I can't because of the way everything is set up here. So by the time DH got home I was burning up.
DH comes home and I start telling him what is going on and he goes to check everything out while I finish cooking. Ok, he wasn't in the bedroom for one full minute and comes back into the kitchen and says "everything is fine now" and he has a huge smile on his face. I'm thinking "whatever" and just look at him all confused and finally I ask what was wrong and he says.....
The light switch was turned off.
I felt so stupid!! LMBO!! :o :o :o I guess my 3 yr old turned the light switch off so the fan would go off because he got cold when he went in there. LOL
How stupid am I? (ok, don't answer that :p ) LOL!! :o
