On top of trying to get ready for baby AGGAHH (only a month left, that means weeks!!!!) we got robbed (EDIT: Burglarized!!) on Tuesday!!!! I can't believe it. How ironic is it that the guy robbed our house as I was at the insurance place buying homeowners insurance?? We probably wouldn't have made a claim anyway, but that's pretty crazy. We have never been robbed in our lives and in the last year Adam's car was robbed and now our house!! The bastard made off with our big screen TV, jewelry, cash, and debit & credit cards. He also broke our fence and our deadbolt and scared the shit & piss (literally) out of our dog. This same person has also robbed 2 other houses in the neighborhood in the last week. People keep saying you feel violated when you are robbed. I don't really feel that way ....I'm mostly just pissed off. I want to kick this guy in his effing face for possibly hurting my dog and for using my debit card all over town. It is a lot of work to get your accounts all straightened out when they are fraudulently used. I also am just glad that I wasn't at home when he busted in. It did make me a little anxious (I couldn't sleep very well and woke up at every little sound I heard) But I'd like to see someone try to break in now because they are going to be seriously hurt. The whole neighborhood is abuzz about the robberies and many are now armed, so this guy better watch out.
If you see this TV (Olevia 37 inch )in a pawn shop let me know:)
I have been having a hard time getting excited about being pregnant because I don't know how I am going to be able to run the office with 2 children. It's hard enough trying to do it with one. So I took a childbirth class and bought the new baby some brand new BumGenius 3.0's in their new Moonbeam and Ribbit colors!!! I also put all new velcro and elastic on the old diapers so it's kinda like they are new. I also started to fill out his baby book. I am so nervous about how I am going to handle two, but at least I am getting excited to see my new little man.
After working on buying a house for over a year we are finally (hopefully) going to close on our house next week. So I've been running around signing papers, talking to lawyers, buying insurance, etc. We are cutting it so close but we really have to close by the 30th if we want to do the new homebuyer tax credit (and be done before the baby comes!!)
Lessons learned ...
* do NOT keep valuables in your top drawer of your dresser!!! That is the first place he looked in every room and unfortunately me & Adam both had good stuff there.
* make your neighbors clean their empty lots, the thief was able to "hide out " in the tall weeds, because the owners of the vacant lot let their crap turn into a jungle!! (I already turned them in to the environmental court to get it cleaned up)
* know your neighbors and know who is watching out for you.
* get an alarm system.
