Jeff is home again!! He has been out of town since Monday afternoon...we knew he would be traveling alot with his new job, but he loves his job so it is well worth the travel...to prepare for this we got an alarm system at the house...the place is rigged like the US Mint...it has alarms all over the place...to many for me. Anyway, to make a long story short he goes...
Jeff leaves town
I watch the news after kids are tucked into bed
I hear about 2 escaped convicts...not like shoplifters...I am talking rapists..real sickos....so too speak
I get it in my head they are coming to MY house...I check all doors again and recheck alarm...
I think about bringing Beau inside but with all the rain his paws were muddy and it was late..
I go to bed only to be awakened by...YEP..the ALARM!!! It is 4:30 a.m. and those two men have made it into my house!! I jump up and get Ian...Jade is already with me...I slam the door..lock it...get the GUN...and I am ready to shot who ever comes through that door...the alarm is still telling me FAULT...FAULT...meaning someone has opened a door.
I am standing there waiting and I glance back at these two little faces looking me...with huge eyes!!
I then remember...call 911...I go to the phone and it rings...it is the alarm company...I answer and tell them my husband is gone....someone is in the house...they then tell me...ok...stop...it is your pump in the basement...your basement is flooding....a wave of RELIEF...I don't have to kill someone tonight....whew!
I head for the basement expecting the worse...it was fine..the pump was broken and needed to be started manually...
I thanked them...reset my alarm...and went back the bedroom...Ian and Jade were fasted asleep. I put the gun away..craweled under the covers and stayed away the rest of the night/morning.....Ian woke up and asked about the gun.. if I killed anyone...no not today....I answered back.
Thank goodness for the alarm system...I am getting a keypad put up in my room so I can see all the faults and were they take place...the chances of that happening again are so slim...we got a new pump put in by the way...and both of those guys are back behind bars...lucky for them they didn't come here...it could have gotten ugly!!!

You are too funny for words! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.
I wish you and your family many blessing as we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving.
You are stinkin' hilarious! That was a good laugh that I needed. ;o) So glad it was just the sump pump. Please call me if you ever need anything -- I'm only a few minutes away.
I would have seriously had a heart attack and been shaking so hard I would have dropped the gun!! You are a brave momma!!
Tina! I just read your blog out loud to Dan! We were all laughing so hard! We don't have an alarm, but I usually sleep with a steak knife. Like that is going to do any good, but I feel better. So, so, so funny! Annie Oakley you go get em'.
Yikes! You had me going! It was like I was there with you! You have a great way of expressing things. Very funny :-)
