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.
oh I'm so sorry to hear about this!! I'm so glad you are all ok - and I hope they catch that a-hole!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry this happened to you! If you don't mind me asking, how did he break your deadbolt? What a crummy thing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel so bad for your dog. It'll get better over time. Dogs feel 100% responsible when the owners are away (the sole alpha male left behind) and he/she is probably more upset they didn't hold down the fort while you were away.
I'm not sure how he did it but it is obvious he used some type of tool to pry at it. It is on double/french doors which I think made it easier since it is in the middle of 2 doors and doesn't lock into a door frame. He was probably able to push and pry at the same time. We are looking at a different type of lock for that door as well as putting in an alarm system.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the police are really working on the case, and my bank is pursuing the fraudulent charges on my debit card, so hopefully they will catch this guy before he can do this to anyone else.
I went and met the couple a street over that were robbed on Friday and they also had dogs inside when they were robbed. They brought their dogs to the vet to make sure they were okay, and they were. So I'm hoping the guy only scared the animals and didn't physically hurt them.
What I'm amazed about is the fact that you didn't throw a fit about having your belongings stolen. It was your dog that you were more concerned about, and I find that admirable. Well, at least you were able to point out yourself the things that you learned from the incident. Be safer, alright? :)
