Well, after rescheduling our closing about a gazillion times, we finally made it into the new house. The boys are having a ball with the extra space and I'm so not having fun digging my way out of boxes. LOL Maybe I'll be unpacked sometime in the next 10 years or so. I'm just grateful we found the important things...beds, kitchen table, coffee maker, etc. (you know, I do have my priorities.....beds to sleep in and then the coffee to bring me out of my morning coma. Which brings me to another story. Here we are this morning, day #5 in the new house and I found out the hard way that the smoke alarms really do work. Since I'm still nursing the baby, I've cut WAY back on the caffeine (not necessarily the best thing for the rest of the world but hey, what can you do?) so I've started drinking tea a lot more. I got up this morning, fed the baby, then put the tea kettle on. A couple of mins later the tea kettle starts whistling, I take it off the burner, pour it over my tea bag and go on with my morning routine until my tea is cool enough to drink. Lo and behold about 3 mins later an alarm went off that made my eardrums bleed. The boys start panicking wondering where the fire is, I'm trying to remember where all the possibilities are since we are in a new house after all and then I could smell something in the kitchen. Are ya ready for this??.......... I had left the burner on. That's it. No fire, no smoke (much to the dismay of my boys), nothing, zip, zero, nada. I guess just the heat from the smallest burner on my stove set it off. Now there's another concern: what happens when I actually attempt to cook something? I'm not exactly a culinary expert and there has been smoke involved in some of my previous cooking adverntures so stay tuned. Now I have to go make sure the homeowner's insurance is in full force and effect. ;) Hugs, Amanda |
