I was some cleaning in my house--folding laundry, vacuuming, etc all while listening to music. I decided to light some scented oil...my favorite scented oil while cleaning. And clean I did....until I turned around and fire was shooting up towards the ceiling from my scented oil. I jumped into action and ran towards the mantel, moving frantically. I grabbed the oil lamp and tried to move it to the sink. Fire was falling on the floor...OMG, I was frantic. I finally got it to the sink and snuffed out the fire with the water.
Whew.....
I can't believe that I just almost burned down my house. There have been times when I've left the oil lamp burning when I've left the house. Thank God I didn't leave. Basically, the top of the oil lamp was cracked and the oil seeped through to the candle. Yep, that one is in the trash.
God, what am I doing with this house? Help me!!
