Well its been 2 full weeks tomorrow since we moved to Texas from Mississippi. Ive felt pretty comfortable living in the house with just myself, my 2 kids, and the various assortment of animals. ( Hubby will be here tomorrow) No problems or anything until last nite.
Our neighborhood is quiet at nite and im on a corner lot and very very rarely do cars drive thru. Its a nice neighborhood with a nice assortment of older empty nest couples and retired couples as well as families with children of all ages. Kids can ride their bikes with no fear of speeding cars and in general everyone I have met has been super nice.
Well last nite was a regular nite. although i went to bed pretty early. Tucked the kids and the kits and pups in to bed with me and went to sleep. Then while i thought i was dreaming my doorbell rang-- at like 930pm. I thought i was dreaming so i just rolled over and dozed back off to sleep. It rang again while i was dreaming ( i think) around 1030. (this is a brand new doorbell that is installed correctly) I woke up on my own around 1200 and right after i woke up the doorbell rang TWICE the second time was very deliberate. The person who rang it didnt take their finger off the doorbell for awhile. I looked thru the curtains out the window closest to the door and saw no one-- no shadows nothing. I didnt turn on any lights but climbed back into bed with my cordless phone in my hand. 1230am there it was again-- I immediatlly called 911 and told them that i coudlnt see anyone but someone was repeatadley ringing my bell. I got up and started turning on lights in the house. I hit my keypad for my jeep to make sure it was locked and it was (the blinkers flash in response to the keypad being pressed) I checked on my kids who were deeply sleeping. I peered out of my daughters window waiting for the cops. They came shortly and didnt find anyone-- They told me i needed to tether one of my shepherds to my front door for the rest of the nite and came in and disabled my doorbell. no more rings last nite of course but i didnt sleep. Im scared to go to bed now. I am so tired after being up all day and then hardly no sleep last nite.
IT took me two hours last nite after the cops left to stop shaking-- Im alone in my new house in a new place, a new town, with just me and my two toddler children. I dont think ill sleep tonite. I have brought one of my shepherds inside and tethered him to the foot of my bed (they prefer to sleep outside at nite due to the nice weather) If my doorbell (been hooked up again) rings once tonite-- im calling the cops and leaving the house with all my babies and going to my BILs. I cant wait till hubby gets here tomorrow nite.
