Well, this has been one sucky week.

First Angel was hurt, now my sister is staying over because she, 'dul, and Ana almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Jenn got worried and called the fuel guys: "Sorry, we only go out in the morning". So she called the gas company: "Open all the windows, don't turn on any lights, we'll be there within an hour". And when they got there: "If you'd waited another half an hour, you'd be dead". No joke. Apparently, their furnace hasn't been cleaned in about forever. As it happens, they're fine, but it could've been worse. So guess which two (three, I should really get one for Lizziey) households are getting CO detectors? Yes, that would be US. We don't need to die to learn our lesson. *hugs her family*

What he said was if we waited till MORNING ... He told s to stand in the doorway for 30 mintues to get fresh air and clear out our systems.

Well, gee, way to ruin a story. That's what Mommy had told me, though, so take it up with her.
