Great day...sitting here at my computer wasting time while i should be cleaning...
Lyla watching Mickey Mouse and putting all her baby dolls down for nap time
Then the lights start flashing.......
then they came on.
OK...hmm?
then they would half way go off and on...just dim...then come on...
then...all of them went out.
What's the first thing I think?
Ghost!
Oh God!
Do I talk to it?
Do I tell it to leave?
Should I grab the video camera for Paranormal Activity 3!?
The next thing I think is...............
ELECTRICAL SHORT!
Grabbed Lyla threw clothes on her....ran a quick list through my mind of what important papers i need to grab before my house burns to ashes!
***all my thinking was happening while my lights were going crazy***
when all the lights went off...what did I do?
called my mommy!!Her lights were doing the same thing!
What...do we both have a ghost?
We will need one more video camera.
Praise God ....I do not have a ghost in my house..nor does my mom...
but this is what was happening.....
A transformer blew at a local substation....this is a picture of the smoke about 5 miles away. Thousands of people in our area are out of electricity...some have been hearing it could be up to three days..maybe even a week.
I pray that no one's house was damaged in this event...I pray that they didn't lose anything valuable or important..I pray for the electric men who have to fix all this.
They had electric men coming from towns as far as an hour away.
This was scary for me...for a few different reasons...
1. I obviously do believe in ghosts.
2. If our house was on fire...I could have gotten me and lyla out..but I had no clue what else to grab!
What would you take?
pictures, important papers, clothes....
Once the thought crossed my mind that my house is an earthly thing...it isn't a treasure stored up for me in Heaven...it can be taken away from me...I panicked...my mind went blank on what was most important besides getting my daughter out of the house and far away.
So tell me...if you had one minute to gather what it most important to you and get out of your house that is going up in flames...What would you take with you?
