Manic Monday

So, we got robbed.

We left at 9 this morning to do our final walk through at the house we are moving into. Tomorrow. When we got back at 1 our door had been kicked in and our dogs were roaming free. They took all that we hadn't packed- our TV, both Mac computers and K's work computer, K's new sound system. All cables and chargers, and my LL Bean bag. Ha! I think that's funny. They took my canvas bag to carry all the stuff in, but left my designer bags on the floor of my closet. Idiots.

I was devastated that all of my pictures of Chamblee were lost- until K let me know he had backed them up on a hard drive that was packed away. Phew. I have to keep reminding myself that these are, after all, just things. Just replaceable things. I'm not bothered that they are gone, as much as I am bothered that someone was watching us, waiting for us to leave and that someone was in my home going through my stuff. I feel horribly violated. We had always planned on getting an alarm system in the new house, but now I want it installed immediately. Yesterday. What if Chamblee and I had been home? It's no good for me to even think about it.

I refuse to let these ghetto thugs ruin my 30-day challenge. Thank goodness for iPhones.

Day 28: Something that stresses you out

How appropriate. Getting robbed.

Until Next Time,
The Guff

  4. omg! That's awful. Totally know how you feel. About a year ago, Mama and Karen were visiting me and Leigh in Nashville and some ppl crawled over our 2nd floor balcony porch and came right on in - While we were there! It was terrifying all huddled together in my closet on the phone with the 911 dispatcher whisper yelling at her to get a cop there NOW! So glad y'all are ok and you didn't have to experience that terror with your cute little girl in the house!
