I thought I heard footsteps, loud ones with shoes on. Turns out it was the wind. I got up and stared down the hall trying to formulate a plan, felt a bit ridiculous, so I grabbed the phone and dialed 911 and turned the phone back off super quick so I had it on redial in case anything happened. Well they called back and the conversation went like this:
Me "Hello?"
Her "This is 911, did you just call?"
Me "No"
Her "Yes, you did."
Me "Yes I did. I thought I heard footsteps and wanted 911 on redial just in case..."
Her "Would you like me to stay on the phone with you while you check it out?"
would I ever!
Me "yes, that would be great!"
So at this point I'm carefully walking around the house, checking in closets etc.
Her"what's your name? Your address?"
Me "I think I'm just imagining things. It seems O.K."
Hoping those are not my famous last words.
Her "O.K., call us back if you have any problems"
So I went in and grabbed Sarah and put her in bed with me, how messed up is that? Then I heard several more pretend footsteps, realized it was probably the wind, said several prayers for protection and tried to squash the terror inside me. Yeah, I don't do so well alone. I'm so glad Brig comes home tonight.

Oh no! How scary! Poor Mindgey! i would have been scared too...I would've asked the 911 operator to stay on the phone while I fell back asleep and monitor for any noises! lol
I can't wait until Brig gets back for you either Mindy!! Sorry your night was so scary! :-(
Am I the only one that thinks mindy is a loser? Did you call 911? No... but we know you did mam!!!! Oh Mindy talk about getting yourself caught with chocolate on your mouth with your Mom! No I did not eat chocolate and it is smeared all over your face! I love you my little loser!
Thanks Hodge, I'm such a freak out. Glad I had Sarah to protect me (ha.)
I know Beck, what was I thinking lying to a police officer!
and I wouldn't call me a loser, per say, just a concerned citizen.
Lol concerned citizen? You are so cute my little loser wasting tax payers money... at least you had Sarah to, what was it she was going to do???? Sing to your captor???
LOL! Sing to the captor!!
Ha Ha very funny! She was there for comfort of the soul.
What the heck would you do in a situation like that? Said in my very best Napolean Dynamite voice.
I'd grab my 8 year old too Mindy! lol Only it would be Bell and she'd be a big shaky baby!
You didn't tell Sarah why you were taking her in your room did you? lol
"Mommy heard footsteps in the house and I think we're about to be attacked. I just brought you in here to scream with me as the stranger enters the room" lol
No I would be way scared.
No, she slept through the whole thing. I kept shaking her, but she just wouldn't wake up ;)
Wish I could sleep that hard! lol
Loser,Loser??? (tsk tsk,) Beck, its been a while since you slept alone hasn't it. It can be really really scary (done done done). I have been known to freak out myself. I have yet to dial 911 (its been a while for me too). I am so out of the loop, where did Brig go??? Wow super mom, watching 7 kids alone and fighting off bad guys, you are so amazing.

I like the way you think, so much better than being called a loser. Rebecca, I'm so disappointed in you.
