Can I borrow your pitbull for the week seriously?
The Docta's on a business trip to Australia and I can't stand the idea of being in the house alone at night. Ever since we were broken into I have these terrible nightmares that some dude in a ski mask is still lurking around our backyard just waiting for his chance to jump in through the bathroom window. I blame my anxiety on the Cop who arrived on the scene, this portly woman in her fifties tells me, "Well you know they always come back. Give 'em 90 days. You see they know you'll replace the stuff by then so you betcha they'll be back for more." Now alone I'm like this paranoid, crazy lady triple checking the locks, peeking out the windows into the yard, carrying my cell phone with me into the bathroom and cursing the Docta for not agreeing to get me a guard dog. After the break-in I had bounced the idea around quite a bit,
"We need a dog around here"
"Are you crazy? We can barely remember to feed our cat."
"But I read that the best security hands down is a dog. So how about a cute Rottweiler?"
"um no"
Thank God my female calvary, my mama and my sister in law, are rolling into town for the rest of these lonely nights. I need somebody to take the G to his pre-school in the morning and somebody to help me ward off the thieves and night time demons.

fear is a lonely hunter, isn't it. good for you for calling the reinforcements.
there's nothing worse than being alone in my house at night... I imagine all sorts of boogie men. Glad you have help coming!
Poor girl! The police told me the same thing but changing the locks made me feel better when robbers came in and took my laptop and ten thousand bucks worth of jewellery!! The worst thing is the thought someone has been in your house and the sentimental value of the things taken. Say hi to your mum and the beetle! xx
Sorry that was me, I didn't mean to be anonymous!
Women rock. And they don't drool.
I am that way too...
I wish I could sleep ova and keep ya company!
i get creeped out, too. and ever since we were robbed when i was a kid i think Bad Men are lurking everywhere.
i want a dog, too!
Nice. Glad mama and sister can come help out. I don't necessarily care for being by myself at night either. My mind wanders and I think of all sorts of crazy things ...and sadly my dog isn't much of a guard dog. He's big and looks mean (to some people that have a fear of dogs) but really he'd roll over for the first person that waved a sausage in front of his face :(
well you know i'm happy to loan katie mae out!
fight or flight mode, i know it all too well.
too bad we don't still live just a driveway apart so the little dude and i could keep you company!
love to abue for always running backup.
Sometimes I can get totally freaked out alone at night. We have a security system, but thinking about how I'd react if it actually went off in the middle of the night while I was home with the child, scares me almost as much.
Katie Mae would really slobber those robbers to death!
I feel for you, sistah. I wish I was still next door! Maybe the pidgeons will scare them off.
Hugs and kisses to your mom...
Your mom is such a sweetie. Sorry you're feeling vulnerable. Let me know if you need me to come over one of these nights, or if you ever need to crash with G-man over here.
I hear you on being alone in a house. Having a teeny apartment is good for that. You always hear someone above or beside you in the next place.
It's great that you've got reinforcements...sounds like a good time actually.
I'd loan you my puppy, but I'm afraid he isn't very fierce!
Tylenol PM works!
