Good morning and happy Thanksgiving to everyone
Well I am very thankful my house is still standing today. I had quite an issue yesterday afternoon..so let's see I got off work and then I stopped at the dollar store to pick up some more disposable pans on my way home. I saw they had some candy on sale so I picked some up for the girls and headed home. I usually come in and preheat the oven while I take a bath. So I turned the oven on and then the kids walked in and I handed them the candy. Alexis couldn't get hers open so I walked in the living room and was helping her with the candy for a few minutes. Then I walked into the kitchen and noticed the oven looked lit up on the inside, I know that light bulb has been burnt out for a while so I walked up and looked
through the oven door. It was sparking really bad, looked like someone was welding inside my oven, so I immediately turned the oven off and it was still
throwing sparks bad. So I opened the oven door and it burst out in flames as soon as the air hit it!! I'm freaking out and am trying to figure out how to get it out.. I'm looking everywhere for the fire extinguisher and I can't find it.. So I'm hysterical and I grabbed my phone trying to call David. I know David number but I was such a nervous wreck I couldn't think of it. The whole time the fires getting worse. I tell the kids grab the animals and keep them close because at this point I don't know if I can get it out so I want to make sure we are all together incase we have to make a run for it. I finally get David on the phone he was already in the driveway.. Thank goodness.. He runs in finds the fire extinguisher and naturally it won't work!!! So while he is trying to get it out I am running to the neighbors trying to see if anyone has a fire extinguisher and David runs out the house and tells me he got it out. Thank goodness he got home when he did.
So needless to say I won't be cooking anything I was supposed to be cooking

I could sit here and be mad and angry, but honestly that was a really scary experience and I realize how much I could have lost. So instead of being mad, I am thankful that our house and family are all here and doing fine
So that was my crazy Thanksgiving story.. I will definitely never forget this Thanksgiving.
About to go start getting ready I hope everyone enjoys their day
