I'm not sure if I've told you all yet that when Rob and I found out we were having another baby we decided we had to make a change with Brandons sleep habits. Our first step was to put a toddler bed at the end of our bed and move him there. After a few months of that this weekend we moved him into his own room. This was extra scary for me because A: I sleep with ear plugs and can't hear him and B: His room along with the new babies room are in the front of the house. In fact the only window in the front of my house leads to the new babies room. Because he has just started sleeping in there we leave the dimmer on in his room and a single overhead light on in the kitchen in case he tries to find his way to our room.
Back to tonight. I finally get settled in bed and doze off. An hour passes when suddenly I hear the familiar CLICK CLICK of my husband cocking his gun. This is one sound that can shake me out of a sleep so fast you would think I just got an adrenaline shot. I pull out my ear plugs only to hear some lady on my porch screaming;
"HELP ME PLEASE HE'S GOING TO KILL ME, CALL THE COPS, GO AWAY ASS HOLE, LET ME IN HELPEAKJA;FOIJAWEO;IFJEO;IWJ"
My husband, being wary doesn't let her in, instead calls the police and takes his gun out waiting for her. He tells me to go watch Brandon. At this point I haven't woken all the way up I don't have my glasses and I just hear screaming and my husband telling me to watch my son. I'm shitting my pants people. I'm thinking Christ his room is so close to the front, it's a childs room so it doesn't have a lock, what if someone forces them self in and so on. The lady starts being very rude to my husband and the neighbors and tells my husband we shouldn't have left those lights on if we didn't want people to think we are awake and knock on our door.
Finally the cops show up, they drive to her house come back and get her and say they are going to take her home or something. We don't know because she didn't speak a word to us, not even a thanks for calling the police and standing out here with me, when this could have been some kind of set up for someone to enter your house while we were all outside. She left, we came in and on the way in we saw the biggest spider ever just walk in our house. He was about the size of a half dollar. Rob mushed him before I really lost it.
Now we are both wide awake, my stomach is in knots and I'm terrified of letting my son and the new baby sleep in the front of the house!

holy shit how scary is that!!
Could the Universe give you a break already?
You would have these crazy fears, even if Brandon's room was in the back of the house. I am actually afraid of putting Porgie in the back bedroom because her window is facing out toward the deck and, you know, someone could totally climb in her window. I told my husband that we need to get rid of the deck. He told me that I am insane.
Holy shit, that is nuts. You poor thing. You definitely didn't need that with how nervous you were to begin with about Brandon and the baby being in their rooms!
Shit, that is so scary! I don't know how I would have reacted. All I can think right now is "that is fucking crazy"!
