Ok my day started off ok…good actually. I put my boys down for their naps, and decided that i’d bake them some cookies. Well I had just finished baking batch #1 and put batch #2 in. Well I came in the livingroom and about 5 minutes later I could smell something. Well I went into the kitchen and noticed that smoke was coming from the oven. I looked in and the cookies were burnt to a crisp and smoke was everywhere. I opened all the doors and all the windows. I stood outside our doorwall just waiting for the smoke to die down. Well it didn’t die down, it kept getting worse and worse. I went over to the oven and opened the oven door and flames shot out everywhere… I actually thought my hair was going to catch on fire. I backed away…and kinda freaked out for a second and then called the fire department. They arrived like 5 minutes later dressed in full uniform. At this point smoke was coming out all of the windows. They went in with their axes and had to wear their masks because the smoke was so thick. Anyway, they had to haul the whole unit out into the back yard and put the flames out, outside. Meanwhile they put out any remnents inside the house and kept all of us out. A nice neighbor lady came down the street and took Chris to play in the sand, and brought me a leash to tie up Jack with.
I sat outside with Andrew for a while and then finally asked one of the firefighters to get me my keys so I can take them to my grandmas.
Now i’m left with no stove, smoke damaged everything and a dirty house. They trashed my house pretty much. I called Matt to come home and help me clean and try to de-smoke the house out a bit.
Then Julie calls me and tells me they are keeping her in the hospital because the baby is showing signs of heart decelerations. She also said she had some more bloody show. Who knows what’s going to happen with the baby at this point. She really wants to come home, but if not, it’s best that she’s there.
I’m horribly miserable at the moment, and I smell like smoke. Grrrrrrrrrr.
