Electrical Problems

We have been having some electrical problems upstairs for several months.  Every now and then the lights in two of the bedrooms and the landing would go off and then come back on a couple hours later.  It was annoying yes but not at the top of the priority list yet.  After several months they wouldn't come back on at all.  Still not a priority until I was talking to Allison who was telling Jerel about the problem who is a fire fighter and said that is a fire hazard.  All of a sudden it finally became a priority.  I hear the word fire and I get panicked.  So for several nights I could not sleep for fear of fire.  Let me just share how my mind works.  One Lucy is terrified of a house fire.  I heard some crackling or something when I turned the switch in Eliza's room once.  I fear a fire would start in their and I'd not be able to get my baby out.  A couple months ago I got a flyer in the mail from our home owner's  insurance about a new way to inventory your house using an ipad and that it's stored on the cloud.  I thought that's cool and put it in my to do pile but have yet to get to it.  When I hear we have a fire hazard my mind goes back to that flyer and wonder was that a prompting to get things in order because we will have a fire.  So I can't sleep.  Most of the smoke detectors have been taken down and never put back in.  When I can't sleep I day dream about how I would redesign the floor plan of this house to what I would like more.  Finally we call Linda who refers us to an electrician who refers us to a handyman who spent 7 hours here trying to figure out what was going on.  He eventually did and there was a problem up in the attic but I don't quite get it.  Anyway, I'm hoping we never have a fire and I'm just suffering from a case of anxiety.
