Twice in one day!

Today was unlike any other.

I almost burned down our home TWICE today!
Twice!

Here are the stories.

Number 1:
I had to leave early today so I decided I'd make some toast and take it with me.
Our toaster is super finicky!
If you move it above light light light it will burn it!
And I mean burn it!
Well, today it was set on the light light light setting.
I set it, go back to the bathroom, and blow dry my hair.
It takes a while to blow dry my hair,
then I start putting my curlers in.
This is like 5-8 minutes later.
THEN I hear my toast pop up!
I finish up my hair,
go out, and my entire kitchen and living room is FILLED with smoke!
And this is why:


A funny side note to this is that I was listening to the radio and they were giving some new stories and one started with, "A toaster is believed to be the cause of a fire..." I kind of freaked out!
But luckily for me, it turned out to be in an entirely different city.

Number 2:
I came home for lunch and made some mac and cheese.
I'm almost finished,
I turn it on low so I can do the final steps.
I eat my lunch and head back to work.
Around 4:30 (about 4 hours later) I got a text message from my sweet husband.
He told me I LEFT THE GAS STOVE ON!
Wow.
I'm so glad our home is still in tact and we can laugh these ones off.
