The kitchen, the kitchen, the kitchen's on fire....

Jaimie decided to try to set her apartment on fire this morning. We had a baby shower over the weekend and brought this big ass sheet cake home with us and Chris was keeping it in the oven. So, Jaimie turns the oven on and forgets that the cake is in there.

So I took the cake out and went to try to get the smoke alarm to shut the hell up. I look down the hall and in the reflection of Chris's computer desk see flames. Lord help me. I couldn't get the flames to go out, and I ended up ruining my favorite dish towel before coming to that realization. SO then I was just putting water in a glass and flinging it at these foot high flames. They finally went out, and then back to tending to the smoke alarm. I even had to jump up on Chris's computer desk chair (yeah, those kind you DONT stand on because they are on wheels and spin around) to try to take the battery out of the smoke detector. I jarred my back. I can barely move now.

I'm sure all this was really good on my about-to-pop bod that is supposed to be on bedrest. Not to mention I gave poor Chris a heart attack because I called him to ask him where the fan was and that's when I noticed the flames. He said he heard "Oh shit" and then my phone went dead (I dropped it). So he came rushing home and I had just collapsed into an emo mess on the floor when he got home. I can't even lay down because it hurts. I guess that I can't even cook without making a mess of things. lol

Calgon, take me away.
