I still need to get a programmable 7 day thermostat. I have such an irregular schedule that the weekday / weekend ones don't quite do it for me.

It makes me smile. I like that is a place in the world where a huge deformity can be celebrated.

I love the thermostat that turns the heat on for me just before I get out of bed and just before I get home in the Winter. I'm not sure it will make me so happy w/r/t turning on the air conditioning, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
And not sitting at work thinking, "Oh, CRAP! I think I forgot to turn the heat down!" is wonderful.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My day? Less than stellar. Owen was like a monkey on crack all morning. Liv was waaaaay cranky.
O's teacher saw my face when I dropped him off and told me to leave Olivia, too. After making sure she wasn't joking, I burst into tears,hugged her and fled.
I'm sitting in a parking lot down the street waiting for pick up time.

The only problem with that is, I'm usually home. So, we can't usually save money by turning the heat down during the day.

{{{Cashmere}}} I'm sorry you're having an awful day, but that is an awesome teacher Owen has. I hope the kids are calmer tonight.

That's my situation as well. I have the thermostat programmed to turn off the hat after we go to bed and before get up, though, and that does seem to make a difference to the bills.
I love O's teacher.

You can save even if you just have the themostat go down 10 degrees in the after your usual bedtime and bring the temperature back up in the morning.
