I woke up at 5 in the morning with a screamingly loud alarm blaring into my dreams. I always dream (nightmare) about my husband nonchalantly cheating on me, so the alarm was actually quite better. Then I realized....
Fuck-we're gonna die.
Husband with one T had already torn off into the living room, clothesless. I gathered all my bravery and strength and then crawled under the covers with my cell phone. I dialed 911 but did not hit send. I kept my finger on the phone and hoped that naked Mat wasn't fighting anyone in my kitchen.
I was under the covers for 2 and a half months when Mat finally came back in the bedroom. He said our back door had been forced open, but the alarm must have scared them off. I started to ask more questions but he was trying to calm himself down. We have had a string of burglaries pertaining to us, and I know it stresses the poor guy out to no end.
The police showed up a few minutes later. They told us there had been a string of about 36 robberies in our neighborhood. The guy looks in the window, sees what he wants, gets through the back door and quickly grabs it and runs off. He had seen my laptop, the cop said, and planned on grabbing it until the alarm went off and spoiled all his brilliant plans.
They caught him a few days later. He can lick my dog's balls. I hate him.

Police said a man tracked down two people on Craigslist accused of stealing his iPod.
The man called police on Monday and told officers that his home and garage were burglarized late Sunday night, according to the police report released on Wednesday.
Police said the man’s iPod, checkbook, Capri Sun and Juicy Juice drinks from the refrigerator were stolen.
He stole juice boxes, he stole my naked husband at 5 AM, he stole 3 nights of sleep from me. I hope he poops from his mouth sometime today.
My week's positive:
Look at my beautiful daughter who had her pictures taken for Spring!

Also, what could be a negative for most is a positive for me! We found a cute babygirl snake in our backyard who hopefully doesn't have rabies!
We let him go in the field and we have missed him every day since. Come back, John Lennon The Snake!
In closing....you know how ricidulous Good Son Adrian is. When I brought their dinner to the table last night, he said
"Oh my. It's like you're a special, pretty, butler or something"
This kindness and sweetness was taken advantage of a few hours later, when his sister, who is 5 years younger and 5 years smaller than him, tortured him in the tub while he was crying and saying, "Please, Please stop, Ellis. Please. Wahhhh."
Enjoy my post about nothing....hopefully I'll have something fun to write about soon.
P.s. I'm having an extraordinarily incredible hairday today (on a gross rainy day, nonetheless) so I had to post a picture. Then, to counteract the awfulness of posting a pretty picture of myself, I also graced you with a picture I accidentally took of myself when the camera was backwards. It's the worst picture of me in existence. Enjoy the self esteem ride you're about to take.
Oh nooooo. I feel horrible for you and all the angst this has brought about. Our neighborhood has also been plagued by break-ins (though I did have to chuckle some time back when one gun-toting burglar met his match when he broke into the home of a retired gun-toting policeman with much better aim...guess who won that one?). Your daughter is stunning, and that IS the best picture of you EVER! My thoughts are with you!
ReplyDeleteI want a gun, but I know I'm such a paranoid wreck that I would shoot multiple innocent humans and animals.
DeleteThank you!
your girl child is all kinds of adorable and springy in those pics!
ReplyDeletebreak-ins are so scary! that totally mess with your internal comfort for way too long.
nice hair & pretty self pic. also, if that's the worst pic in existence of you, you're doing awfully well. i have a special knack for making horrifying faces and working the neck rolls in many of my pictures.
How did Steve Jobs manage to give us such awful neck rolls in such an otherwise amazing phone? I blame the man trying to keep us down.
DeleteI am always stunned when the criminal buggars steal juice drinks. We were awoken once with the alarm wailing and there was no break-in, alarm company thought maybe a spider. Better than your baby snake.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.
Holy crap! I don't ever want to see a spider big enough to set off a burglar alarm!
DeleteHave you heard of other burglars stealing juice drinks? I had no idea it was an often occurance! I'm with Jennifer, don't the motion sensors have a weight limit or something? A 40 lb spider is enough to make me pray to a god I don't believe in.
DeleteNo.1...the girl baby is precious beyond this writer's words.
ReplyDeleteNo.2...the snake is adorable, not as much as the children holding it, but adorable.
No.3...I totally love your hair in the best pic ever and the worse pic ever is better than most of my good ones.
No.4...I did, in fact enjoy your post about nothing!
No,5...burglars are often just short of ignorant.
1. Thank you! We put our hands on her head this morning to try to evangelical the demon out, but it didn't work. Good thing she's so cute.
Delete2. I know, isn't he? I don't know how girls are so scared of snakes. I'd rather have 10 snakes in my mouth than be in the vicinity of a wasp.
3. Thanks!
4. You're easy to please!
5. Burglars are ugly
Don't make me re-send you the accidental self-portrait I took in Florida...it's the worst picture of ANYONE. EVER. You're the only one besides Lindsey (who was with me when it happened)that has EVER seen it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your kids could not be any cuter if I had made them myself! Looks wise, sweet wise, funny wise...they're the bees knees.
And kegis that robber...who steals juicy juice?
I tried to go back in my phone to find it. How did you even look at yourself in the mirror after that? You're right, at least I was relaxing in the backyard with a new cute pet snake instead of being blasted in the hungover/maybe still drunk/last night's makeup face with the sun and a camera.
Deletehahahahaha worst picture ever. Def.
That post allegedly about nothing was about more than my posts about something. Those sweet baby girls tires made. E almost forget about the nasty robber story before them!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Her tires are so perfectly cute. hahahahah jk. I am assuming this was an auto correct, but I can't figure out what you were trying to say. Either that or you're a really deep poet or on crystal meth.
DeleteOMG a break-in!? That's horrible. So glad he didn't try to mess with your or your family. That is my worst nightmare. On the flip side, I do love your hair in that picture.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Break ins are all right if they're eventually followed by a good hair day.
DeleteNot fun and oh your darling girl in pink- and great picture of you too
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. I remind myself how cute and photogenic she is when I get sad about my pants not fitting.
DeleteWow, that's a lot of stuff for a post about nothing. Your kids are gorgeous, the burglar deserves lots of prison time, I love that you guys aren't freaked out by snakes, and I completely envy your perfectly perfect movie-star smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe burglar has gotten probation and deferrments 3 times in the last few years..so he'll probably be back soon to steal my easter candy.
Snakes are awesome. As long as there's no rattle on his ass, I will love him. He bit our yorkie in the face multiple times with his non-teethed/tiny mouth. It was hilarious.
Thanks for the smile compliment...they're my favorite. =)
Your daughter is gorgeous! For the rest sorry ...
ReplyDeleteI like how you spent two and a half months under the covers! You are hysterical and your daughter is gorgeous!
