Adding to leaving children at home at young ages

Tonight I was very alarmed. My dishwasher ( not old, good brand!) started having black smoke coming out if it after my husband turned it on and left the house for a quick errand. I was outside and my kids were all over the place just playing, baby sleeping. Anyway, I came in and smelled something awful. When I discovered the problem, I tried turning off the dishwasher quickly, but the computerized part was malfunctioned and wouldn’t shut down, still burning!!! I called hubby quick and he rushed home to turn off the breaker outside.

I’m saying all of this to reiterate the point that things DO happen in a blink of an eye, and our kids can be put at great risk. I am so thankful that I was here and aware, and that our house didn’t burn. Be careful ladies, if this would have happened while I was out, I don’t want to think what could have occurred. My 13 ds is responsible, but I think it’s not wise for him to be put in this situation.

Ok, soap box is put away. I say this out of care and concern! 🙂
