Today I put a frozen pizza in the oven for lunch and soon after my kitchen started filling with smoke. Oh yeah, I thought, I need to clean my oven. Well, technically I just need to turn on the self cleaning feature of my oven and then sweep it out, but you get the idea.
So, after my pizza was done cooking I locked the oven door and turned the know to clean.
Not my brightest idea.
You see, if your oven is smoking while cooking a pizza at 400 degrees is going to go overboard when it starts to clean itself at 500+ degrees. About 10 minutes after "turning the clean on", I'm sitting the the living room enjoying my pizza, well actually the pizza isn't that great, and I realize my house is filling with smoke, not just a little smoke but there is literally a haze everywhere! Lucking, E is napping and the door to his room is closed so he has escaped the smoketastrophe of 2011. I, however, am having trouble seeing as my eyes are burning like crazy. So, I get up open all the windows and doors, turn on the ceiling fans, and turn off the oven.
Fifteen minutes later and there is still a little smoke left.
So now I've got a smoke filled house and a dirty oven. Crap.

Just some thoughts.
Tomorrow we will be celebrating E's 1st birthday with family at a local park. It's been chilly all week but the forecast kept promising me warmer days and it has finally warmed up today! Whew, b/c there is no way I can fit 22 people in my tiny little living room!
I lost our dogs Wednesday evening, I was putting things away, I stuck a piece of plastic that had broken off the recliner in the coat closet (you know, in case my husband want's to gorilla glue it back on) and it must have hit the garage door opener w/out me realizing it b/c when I took the trash out later that evening the garage door was wide open and the dogs were nowhere to be found.
I felt really bad about it but it was an accident so what can you do?
I'm currently working on a crazy-complicated project, recovering a kids chair for E's b-day tomorrow . . . keep your fingers crossed for me!
Alright, I need to get off my bum, switch out the laundry and get back to the chair reupholstering.
Have a wonderful Friday!
