I am going to kill SS(12)- I was just put on restricted activity since my oxygen levels and heart hate are going haywire with activity and on doctors orders to always be in A/C. Yay... so we had to buy a 14000 BTU unit for the living space in our house (several hundred dollars but a deductible medical expense, we are well on our way to hitting 10%) and it is helping. SS comes over sees the A/C is on and says it is only 79F so why is it on, that's a lot of electricity especially since the oxygen machine has to be on all the time. Besides, you guys always said it wasn't cost effective to try to cool off an open floor plan. My FIVE year old then verbally bitch slaps him asking if he noticed the yellow pollen coating everything outside and how the air feels like soup because it is going to rain and the three year old said that Mommy is on the list and has to wait her turn and don't you know anything because you do what the doctor says. I did tell them not to speak to their brother in that tone of voice and DH told him not to worry about the electric bill. I am probably overreacting but I have been sick for almost two years and hate when SS questions what we do every damn time.
