OH and PS...guess what happened to us tonight...
about 1am...we're all snoozing...Sally and Teddy and sleeping away...Jay is OUT...suddenly I sit up in bed with my little bunny rabbit sniffle nose going b/c I can smell SMOKE! And it's hurting my lungs and making me cough!
So I jump out of bed and check on the kids, both sound asleep...but the smoke smell is so strong...but the alarms aren't going off.
I have to SHAKE Jay to wake him up.
We check all over, can't find the source but it's strong. So we called the Fire Department...non emergency number of course...not 911.
They tell us to get everyone OUT. So we wake up the munchkins and put them in Jays SUV...along with the dog.
A police officer arrives, walks in and says "It smells like a CANDLE...do you have a CANDLE burning..."
I wanted to slap him. Seriously. Do you honestly think we wouldn't have y'know...figured that one out for ourselves?
AND I have strep throat AND a fever so I'm NOT very patient right now.
Police officer tells us that the fire chief will be along shortly...
Next thing you know FIVE fire trucks pull up in front of our house...lights going, sirens screaming...about 30 fire fighters ...no joke...all suited up HEAD TO TOE come streaming OUT of the trucks.
I'm a little freaked out...cuz the smoke is thick in the house.
Turns out our dishwasher caught ON FIRE and was burning the bottom of the counter. But it was a weensy fire.
good GRACIOUS.
the thirty young firefighters who were SO amped to put out some fire and save some damsels in distress were pretty bummed.
So NOW...we have to buy a new dishwasher.
Our neighbors hate us.
Sally can't fall asleep.
and the smoke made my throat hurt worse AND I'm having a wheezy asthma attack and had to use my wheezer IN FRONT of people which I HATE to do.
not a good night for the Campbellscots.
okay...it's 2:15 am...must try and sleep.
night loveys!!!
