OMG I forgot to tell you all this story--you might pee yourself!

Sooooo let me share this gem with you--its a definite sign I need to LEAVE this apartment.

DH and I went to sleep the nite before last, around 1230ish. We're sleeping soundly and suddenly I think I'm dreaming cause I hear what sounds like someone pounding the shiz on our front door. I mean its like CRAZY POUNDING. I look at the clock, its 3:30am! I hear someone shouting....and then I wake up enough to understand they are saying 'THIS IS THE POLICE!!!! POLICE DEPARTMENT OPEN UP!!!'

Um, it take all the strenght for me NOT to crap myself. My first thought was 'Holy shiit the house must be on fire!' (We live in a basement apartment of our landlord's house.) I look at the cat and consider grabbing him and running--however I'm onlly wearing panties and a camisole. But I digress.....

DH sits up in the bed and before he can get out of bed, we see our front door open (you can see it from the bedroom) and a cop walks into our living room with his gun out and flashlight on, flashing all over the place. Yeah, the pooop and pee are dying to unleash onto my bed. The cop is shouting 'Police Department is there anyone in here?'

DH jumps out of bed and says 'We live here!' He also says that he's a cop and shows his ID to the officer. It turns out the our landlord, who has been on vacay this past week, has a home security system. It must have somehow been tripped and the alarm company was notified. No one was home upstairs when they called, so the cops were alerted. He didn't see any lights on at the house--but did see our cars so he came around back and saw the basement steps and came down. DH forgot to lock the door, so he just came right in.

We still have NO IDEA how the alarm was tripped and I spent the rest of the night scared shiitless that someone could be trying to break into their place and therefore would have access to ours. DH took his gun and checked out the property outside and stuff--but I was stil terrified.

Yeah--thank GOD we are moving this weekend, cause I feel like its a SIGN we need to leave that place!!!!!!
