I usually love Sundays! I have a whole new Ensign I wanted to read, but never got more than one article read. I did that right before I went to bed. We spent all of our Sunday after we went to church scrubbing from ceiling to floor in our house. The reason we has to do this on a Sunday happened the night before.
Titus and I went to dinner w/friends and left TJ tending for us and our friends little boy. We usually just get down the road and Tanner calls. This time he waited until we had been seated. He called to asked me how long you cook popcorn. I told him to just hit the popcorn button and 2. He calls back later and says he burnt the popcorn. He didnt tell me how bad. I just told him to throw it away outside.
When we got home about an hour later, we could smell it from the driveway. You can imagine how bad inside smelled! They said it was so bad they could hardly breathe. The little kids were freaking out. I cant believe the smoke detectors didnt go off(we need to check them). TJ said they tried to clear all the smoke out, it didnt work. So, we opened doors and windows, turned on fans, and I started wiping down the microwave and cabinets by the microwave. We decided it probably would be fine. We went to bed, but hardly slept because of the smell. I was so worried about my furniture and our clothes smelling forever. Tanner kept having nightmares that there was a fire,so he slept on the floor in our room.
The smell was horrible. We went to church, and when we got home Titus said something had to be done. We were going to call the insurance and see what we should do, but Titus got on-line to see how to get rid of the damage. Thank goodness for my family and his! Ashlee and Abbie willingly came over and helped us scrub everything down. Alys offered but Kinley was sick. Robby and Steph asked of they could do anything, but we told them we were okay. Titus' parents brought us some dinner. I love having family around!
It smells alot better, and my house is dang clean! The smell isnt completely gone, and I need a new micro. I dont know what happened with the popcorn. He says he only cooked if for 3 mins. He is very traumatized!
So, I only got to read one article and we worked our butts off! Not the type of Sunday we like to have. We appreciated the help though!
