hey y'all it's been awhile since I have been on here... Busy summer this year and the babysitting is booming!!!  Lots of kids here most of the time.  I have a week off though since the kids are all on vacation. 

Lets see since I have been on, someone attempted to break in to my house while Joe, my husband was working.  Scared the crap out of me.  It was pure fluke that the doors were locked, I had been out to a festival here in the community with the kids and we got home late, about 10pm.  I never do this but I locked the doors right after we came in I guess because it was late and I knew nobody would be around at that time and I knew I wasn't going anywhere.  Funny though because normally I don't lock up until I go upstairs to bed.  This particular night I fell asleep on the couch, I had turned off the TV because I felt myself dozing off and the only lights on were the outside light and the hall light for the kids.  I sleep on the couch sometimes when Joe isn't home so that is fairly normal.  I had been asleep about a half and hour when I woke up to the sounds of someone trying to get in my front door...The door is only 2 feet from my head.  I layed there unable to move for a few moments and I listened to make sure it wasn't in my head and I knew it wasn't Joe since he works and hour away and drives in a car pool.  My cat was lying on the floor right beside me and the kids were all speeping but after about 5mins I decided to get up and try to grab the phone.  I forgot the TV remote was lying on me and it dropped when I went to get up and crashed on the floor.  That crash and the cat jumping upto the window sill at the same time startled who ever it was they ran away.  Since then i haven't slept all that much.  Our community is usually so quiet I have lived here my whole life and the only other attemped break in happened 7yrs ago coincidentally to me.  But that was different there were two men forcefully trying to get in and they were captured by the police in my yard and they were hitch hikers form Far away.  So it is unusual that these things happen here.  Lately there has been about a dozen thefts and a handfull attempted break ins.  We the comunity belive that it is someone who lives here and knows us and our habits well... Who knows I can only hope they catch this person SOON
