I had no idea my DH turned the heat on the other night until I woke up in the middle of the night and opened a window a little more than a crack. Then it really got hot. He wasn't thrilled the next morning when he walked by the open window and realized that the heat had been cranking for a good 6 hours straight...right out the window. I'm still using the "I just had a baby, I assume it's my hormones" excuse. It got me out of the "why didn't you check the thermostat or feel a vent before you opened a freaking window in the middle of the night when it's in the 30's?" question.
On the colder nights we've had the kids are cozy in their warm fuzzy pj's and they also have down comforters on their beds as of a few days ago - they're good. Baby's room is the warmest in the house so he's good too.
I turned the thermostats to off two days ago. It's going to have to get a lot colder than today was...what a joke! It was only 65 by me, but the humidity made it feel 10 degrees warmer. Had to completely make everyone change their clothes after they had already gotten dressed for chilly weather. I'm hoping to hold out until next week sometime. If the baby's nose feels cold I'll turn it on.
As a side: was watching the weather channel early this morning praying that my kids soccer games would be rained out, which they weren't...the record high for 10/25 was only a few years ago - 82F.
