We all ran upstairs and I could smell something burning in my son's room... he immediately unplugged his computer (that he just re-built a few nights ago) but we couldn't find where the "burn" smell was coming from... hubby noticed that there was a light bulb off in the ceiling fan light and we noticed that the light bulb literally started burning... (it was one of those curly florescent bulbs)....
Years ago, when our kids were little, we went to a "fire awareness" presentation (I think at their school) and they recommended a smoke detector in every bedroom in addition to one on each floor... Since then, we have followed their recommendations, and tonight, I am so thankful that we did....
night, night all... sweet dreams...
