Yesterday I went to get a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Mmm...not so good when you take a bite and find your milk is not cold for being in the back of the icebox. So I opened the freezer and sure enough behind "things" there was some ice build up. Remove the ice and presto your icebox starts cooling again, right? No! So I got out my handy, dandy heat tool for embossing cards and used it to melt a new layer of ice. I tried through out the day to convince myself that things were starting to cool off, but the convincing did not help the situation. I took out the perishables that could be frozen and placed them in the freezer. By the time I went to bed I was praying that the door being shut for a long period of time would help in the cooling process.
This morning it was evident that everything in the icebox needed to be tossed. (Not so good when you just went grocery shopping a several days earlier.) We called a repair service and by 3:00 this afternoon the icebox was working properly! The thermostat was not working and was causing an ice build up behind a panel in the freezer. That kept the icebox from cooling.
Last night, just before bedtime, Daughter #4 started to feel achy and was freezing. During the late night hours Daughter #2 started feeling the same way. Looks like we've been hit with the nasty flu bug! They both have slept almost the entire day away! Right now the fevers are low grade. Now Daughter #6 has "that look" in her eyes and was complaining about being cold and really tired. :( I am wondering what the weekend will hold? I am praying that it will not travel through the entire family!
