Just another day in the life of me...haha

So I am sitting in the library gathering up stuff for math when I hear a very distressed scream....it said...the dreaded..."FIRE" I run to the kitchen only to find that my whole doorway leading to the laundry room and the ceiling are engulfed in flames. HOT, ORANGE, BELLOWING FLAMES. I decide at that moment that the fire is to big and I would not have time to put it out, my only choice was to run upstairs, grab the napping children, and gather all the other kids up and GET OUT!

I had come to the sad conclusion that I was about to loose my house. Now for those of you who know anything about these large old houses, they go up quick so I had no time to loose. I found Jordan and he escorted the 2, and 4 year old outside, and I had the baby. Now where was Seth and Devon? I hand Eve off to Jordan and run back in to see where they are. By this time the smoke is so bad it is really hard to breath, I run into the kitchen to grab one last look and to see if maybe I could do anything at all to put it out. I enter the kitchen and behind all the smoke is my 10 year old son. He had seen the flames from the back yard, through the window....he grabbed the water hose, pulled it into our house and started spraying the fire, by the time I had gotten back in HE HAD PUT IT OUT!!!!

My whole world went from my house is fixing to burn down, to my son has just saved our home. I was never so happy n my whole life to see my child spraying a water hose inside the house. And this all coming from the last of my children that I ever would have thought could make this kind of decision in such a fast way. This is the kid who takes an hour to read 1 page. HE DID AWESOME! And we are so happy that Devon saved our home. He really did had he not made that choice, I would not be sitting here typing this right now.

Well its been 6 hours and I have calmed back down. Its really weird that the aftermath does not look as bad as it did while it was actually on fire, but I can assure you it was terrifying! So thank you Devon and Jordan to for the quick life changing decisions you made today! I love you!
