We got moved to a nicer hotel yesterday, we actually have a sitting room and kitchen now. We will stay there until Tuesday or Wednesday when we get our rental house.
Tessa is really freaked out. We spend 45 minutes consoling her last night and telling her that we were safe now and that the smoke alarm would not go off where we were. There would be no smoke, etc. We just had to tell her over and over, she kept asking the same questions.
So this morning, I got up after not sleeping for a while, it was finally morning and got into the shower. While I was in there I heard a loud noise. I thought to myself, “No, it just could NOT be… it would not be the smoke alarm.” Sure enough Jay poked his head in the door and told me the smoke alarm was going off.
I got out, and since there was no visible smoke yet, I threw some clothes on and a towel around my head, grabbed some stuff and we ran out to the van with the kids. (It was about 6:15am at this time, they were all still sleeping. And Yes, Ben was again in his underwear!!!)
After a few minutes, Jay went in to see if he could find anything out and the alarms were off and the hotel staff let everyone know it was just a kitchen fire and was out now and we could all come back in.
Ack. Did I not have enough adrenaline?????
