This happened last month- I am behind BUT HAD TO POST IT..... I OFFICIALLY HATE LAMPS NOW!!!

(so I wrote this right after it happened although I just am now posting about a month later)

FIRE. . . .FIRE... FIRE!! Well last night was no exception. Yep, If you live by us and smelled FIRE. . . . it was probably us. Oh SCARY! I was in the basement watching IDOL, Dave was upstairs studying in the office, and Tyler was watching his cartoon in the living room. Tyler came running down spitting, and saying it tasted bad in his mouth and nose. I thought he ate something bad. . . .Then Dave comes running down saying- What is that smell? I then got worried- There was smoke filling the house and the smell was TERRIBLE. Dave first looked in the kitchen thinking I burnt something- NOPE. . . . then we realized it was coming from the living room. What had happened is Tyler put his sweater inside the lamp shade of our floor lamp. Well, it had sat there long enough on the lightbulb that it caught on fire. And was smouldering in the lamp. Just a couple more minutes who know what would have happened. So we spent the next couple  hours freezing because I had all the doors wide open, the windows open and fans blowing to try to get rid of the smell. Thanks to a lot of febreeze and our air purifyer and scentsy candles. . . . . it isn't too bad today.  Man, another close call.
