We live in an old house, and it does not stay very warm during the winter months.
We have looked into getting our house reinsulated and getting new windows installed, but it is really expensive. We are saving up to be able to do it, but it will probably be quite a while before we have enough money saved. Our son’s bedroom gets the coldest which really stinks. I usually just let him sleep in our bedroom during the winter, but he is getting older, and he prefers to sleep in his bedroom. I decided to go ahead and put our space heater in his bedroom. I was really nervous at first because I did not want him messing with the heater and hurting himself. It is an electric space heater, but it gets pretty hot to the touch. He is nine years old, and I know that he knows better, but I was just nervous because he is a boy, and boys like to meddle with things sometimes. My husband said that I was being ridiculous for worrying about him messing with the space heater which is probably the truth. I worry about everything though which is really a bad habit. My nickname growing up was worry wart which is pretty self explanatory. I guess I never grew out of worrying about every little thing. That space heater has been in his bedroom for about three weeks now, and we haven’t had any problems with him messing with it. He tells me that I can trust him with the heater, and I truly hope that I can.
