The shoe, The shoe, The shoe is on fire...


Hahaha so I just have to tell the world about what a dumb ass I am. I know what you are saying “Amanda, do something without thinking…NO WAY!!!” hahaha well its true.
SO as most of you know I like and keep a clean home. I'm not a clean freak but I always need my place clean, everything picked up. It’s just much more relaxing that way. So Hec ALWAYS ALWAYS takes his shoes, socks and pants off in the middle of the front room when we get home from some place. And I always have to tell him to pick his shit up, it has become a joke almost where he purposely does it, I pretend to beat him with whatever is in my hand. So last night he does it and looks at me and smiles so I take his pants and one shoe and put them out side and then put the other shoe inside our fireplace and look at him and smile. We laugh and go to laundry - A few mins pass, me and Hec are in the bedroom folding clothes and Kendra is in the front room playing with her dolls and comes running in in full blown panic mode “MAMA! TICKY! THE FIRE IS COMING!!! THE FIRE IS COMING!!!!!!” so I go running out to the front room and Hec’s shoe is completely on FIRE!!!
My dumb ass forgot that because it is a gas fireplace that there is always a little flame there, much like the pilot light in a heater. And the shoe must have touched it. We got the shoe extinguished and thank god it was only in the fire place and didn’t get out. Then after that happened I freaked because I though what if Kendra didn’t see the fire, what if she got hurt, what if the place caught on fire (I guess its good we have renters insurance and are moving next week) but then I thanked Kendra so much for being such a big girl and telling mommy and Ticky (that’s what she calls Hec..she came up with that name when she was like 1) about the fire right away and running away from it.
But yes, now Hec has one black shoe and one white shoe. And OMG! That smell was terrible! Burnt rubber is not the thing you want to smell when you are about to eat dinner. The smell left fast though so that was good haha.
Ah yes…another Amanda moment. It was a long time coming! Haha.
