For dinner I made Tacos. Brad loves Tacos and Ashley loves Taco salad so I made some homemade Tacos. To warm the tortillas, I put them in the microwave with a wet paper towel over them. As I was preparing the tortilla's for the microwave, I laid them on the packaging they came in then placed the wet paper towel on top and put them in the microwave for a minute fifteen seconds. As the tortilla's were warming in the microwave, I prepared all the other condiments for the Taco's; lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, etc. Then I started to smell something burning and Ashley was saying, "Mommy something smells bad."

Thankfully the doctor cut the cord immediately and although Ashley was still blue; she was b
