Oh Angela! I'm absolutely 'flabbergasted' how you can possibly function for 3 months with temperatures of 40 and 50 degrees...PLUS the humidity!!!!! Of course...it would affect YOUR health...and your nerves!! attempting to keep your children 'happily occupied' in the house for the daytime hours...and then NO respite all night to somehow regain your physical and mental 'composure' for another day of the same thing.........Oh Angela... I'm so very sorry to hear that your husband feels that air conditioning is bad for your health..??? You don't have to keep it at a 'freezing' temp..!! If you only had to be concerned with finding some 'form of relief/comfort zone' for yourself.. you might be able to 'cope' for 3 months...BUT... for you and the children!!..Impossible to stay sane...in my books Angela.... I'm very sorry to say...in my very humble opinion Angela..that I really don't think your husband could even begin to cope with the heat AND THE CHILDREN...on a continual daily basis for 3 months Bless you Angela!! ...you are a brick and a super MOM!
