Turn the heat in the house off and just use the space heater for the rooms you are currently in. And call a repair man to come look at the heater. Definitely get some CO detectors while you are at it. Probably not kicking off CO though since it is burning so hot and likely using all of the resources. Perhaps something wrong with the control switch on the house heater and it isnt registering the temp in the house correctly.
My husband's method of dealing with the fire alarm when one of us accidentally sets it off is to pull it out of the socket, pull the battery out, and toss both in a drawer. He has methodically done this through the whole house. Last night I dreamed the barbecue pit in the back yard spontaneously caught fire so I woke him up at 3am and asked him to put all the fire alarms back and he called me a weirdo and rolled over. I mean he did it this morning before he went to work but I wanted it done THEN and I couldn't sleep for like 20 minutes because of it.
@WSU2015 that is definitely scary that no one did anything about the smell!! Thank you for the info on CO, that settles my mind a bit (DH doesn't seem concerned but I'm over here a bit worked up)
@June2016BabyW thank you for the advice!! I turned the temp down to 60 on the thermostat & that seems to have kicked off the heat atleast for now, I don't want to put it completely off in a blizzard for fear of freezing pipes.
I will definitely call the HVAC repairmen this week!!
I appreciate the feedback ladies thank you for calming my nerves! Perhaps we'll just turn the blender on over here & make some Virgin daiquiris to enjoy the heat wave
I have a kitchen full of food and don't want any of it but I'm hungry. We've got 24+ inches of snow and a plow hasnt come through since we were at 12-15 inches of snow so there's no way to go to the store to find something that I DO want to eat. Definitely a first world problem....
I am the biggest germophibe. I use way to much germ-x and colorox wipes. I sweep my floors every night after dinner. I was casually sweeping around the dogs dish tonight, moved it a little the right and there was a DEAD MOUSE laying there. Yup a real life dead mouse. I feel like I just need to flatten my house down and start over because who the heck knows where the mouse went and how many more are living here.. Ahhhhhhh!!!
I feel you. We just found out we have an infestation of mice and rats under our house! Thankfully none inside (that happened a year ago and we fixed the holes they were coming in, but I guess didn't get them all outside) We had to increase the credit limit on one of our credit cards to pay for the company to come out this Friday and basically tear everything out from under our house. There's no school and I babysit so I'll have 4 kids that I have to keep out of the playroom (that's where the crawl space opening is) while they haul out bags of insulation and rodent feces ugh
We have an enormous bed, and it's very sweet that my husband wants to snuggle, but is there a rule that says he HAS to sleep on the same 1/4 of the bed as I already do WITH my giant megapillow, which is already half hanging off the edge of the bed? I NEED. SPACE. o.o
Also you may think I don't notice you creeping back the wake up time in the mornings because I am a slowasaurus, but I do. Tired, cranky, cramped into two feet of superheated bed space momma is not amused.
My scrub pants are getting a little snug on my belly, of course my luck I checked with the uniform company that comes to our location every month for a scrub sale and they stopped selling maternity wear last year?!?!?!? So I'm stuck wearing the ugly blue we have in the OR for now
I really want potato chips and a cream soda, but I'm trying to be healthy so I didn't buy any at the store. I'll have to be satisfied tonight for snacking with stove top pop corn without butter and a glass of water with a squeez of lemon.
I just ordered a gluten free pizza, but a regular one came by mistake. Now it just sits there smelling like deliciousness, silently taunting me while I wait for its replacement.

This is the WORST. I hate finding out stuff I bought has gluten in it after the fact.
I want jelly beans (regular sugar-filled Jelly Beans like you get in an Easter Basket) and have wanted them for months now...not Jelly Bellies or Gimbals or Surf Sweets or Just Borns...just regular cheap jelly beans like you get in the $1 bags at Walgreen's. EVERY SINGLE BRAND is manufactured on equipment or in a plant that makes products with wheat...which means my Celiac ass can't eat them. I have checked every single grocery store, gas station and sweets store in a 20 mile radius and have had zero luck. WHY?!?!

Laaaaaaame. I'm sorry!! Have you tried a dollar store? I'm assuming they'd be manufactured in the same way, but worth a shot?!

Ooooh not yet. Guess where I'm going this weekend? I'll report back.
