I think I kept the thermostat at 78. Ugh.<br/><br/>My boys were good nappers - in cribs. They were in them for a while and never really were the climbing out type - thank goodness!<br/><br/>By the time my sweet girl came around, naps were pretty much a thing of the past!

The same thing happen to me a few years back as well. I require the use of a nebulizer a few times each day, so I got my doctor involved and got a 30 day extension and then I was able to catch the bill up plus pay the deposit.

Nothing fancy, nothing big, and we took all the standard dark-blinds during summer daylight hours precaution. But between the pregnancy and the toddler who has the same ability as her mother to get heatstroke easily we could not keep the indoors thermostat set at the recommended 85 degrees. We had it at 76. Outside was averaging 112. Day after day after day... The bills suck. I feel your pain. <br/><br/>BTW, toddlers eventually settle and take their naps, right? I've got a two year old tearing her bed apart and falling asleep on her feet, literally. Everytime she falls over she wakes up again, and drags this whole naptime out just that much further.

Ha!<br/><br/>OMG, yours was way higher than mine- do you have a two-story with vaulted ceilings or something? Gah!<br/><br/>Our car insurance has been awesome since we moved from Dallas to Alabama - big difference! Sorry yours is gonna go up so much!!

The next month was $200ish. We're late in the car payment. No idea when this will all get caught up, and the car insurance doubled because my husband needs to learn how to drive before the new baby gets here! Seriously. The only nice part about him living in the city was that he never needed a driver's license until now. And it seems that to insure a 34-year old married sailor is more than I pay for my own insurance and the car combined!<br/><br/>you just can't win anymore. Don't get me started on gas costs.

Threy sent me a notice "you've been late X amount of times so we are charging you a $300 deposit on top of your $250 bill" you can have it back in a year if you're not late. Um, yeah I was late two more times. Ooooopsies! Same thing happened to us last year.
