Casa Goontz Burglar
So...just to preface: I am the most sound sleeper you will ever meet. I dont wake up for anything. Last night HH and I are woken up by this incredibly loud crashing sound that is obviously coming from inside the house. He gets up to go check it out & doesn't see anything at first glance in the living room. He comes back and gets his glock (hand gun) and literally checks every room like he is part of the S.W.A.T. team. Still he find nothing. So I think someone is breaking into our house (the people who stole my purse in June have my license with my address on it and I thought it might be them) and I can't go back to sleep for the rest of the night.
HH gets up before I do to get to work and informs me as he is leaving that he found the burglar; my shampoo bottle that fell from the shelf in the shower. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I lost 4 hours of sleep because of a shampoo bottle?!?! How embarrassing...oh well. Better than someone actually breaking into the house, geez!
Re: Casa Goontz Burglar
BAHAHAHAHA... I can totally see that happening in our house, too!!! Except, I've gotten used to hearing random crashes in the middle of the night. What with the 4 cats and Adam's random sleep walking (ie picking up a tv off the dresser and dropping it on the floor, banging on walls, etc).
I'm glad it wasn't someone actually breaking into the house, though!!!
That would have scared the bejeezus out of me too! I am sooo paranoid about someone breaking in to our house, I am a lunatic when Dave is away for work.
Stella has two dog beds in our house. (Not counting her kennel, which is in our dining room currently). One is in the spare bedroom and the other is right next to our bed. She goes to bed earlier than we do, she will usually excuse herself to go upstairs at around 10pm. She goes and lies down on her big bed in the spare room. We go to bed (between 11-12) and once we're all settled in and the lights are off, she'll push our bedroom door open (we don't close it tight for just this reason) and she'll crawl into her smaller bed that's next to ours, where she'll sleep for the night. Every.single.night I freak out when she opens the door because I think it's a burglar. Every night.
Too funny. Maverick and Lily have beds all over the house as well and usually fall asleep before we do but they go to their beds in the master bedroom. We keep the spare rooms closed because Lily has a fondness of chewing wires and that got expensive to replace camera and cell phone chargers.
However, if I'm cleaning and happen to leave one of the spare rooms open, I find Mav our 75lb chocolate lab sprawled out on the bed and loving every second of it.
I think its so funny that some of your husbands move stuff randomly in the middle of the night.
I think that when you guys have kids they are going to blame your DH when things go missing. "No mommy, it wasn't me, daddy must have hid my tonka truck when he was sleeping..."
I can totally see this happening!
Glad you weren't burgled!!
I am easily spooked and don't sleep nearly as well as I did before our house was broken into this past April. It was during the day, but I had already been traumatized when I lived in a garden apartment in Chicago years ago, so add the break-in to my other home invasion terror baggage and you have a scared, sissy mess!
The worst part about the break-in wasn't that they took $500. It was that they went through my entire dresser, touching all of my stuff. I have never felt so violated in my life! When DH isn't home when I go to bed, I turn every single light in the house on and go to sleep that way.
On a lighter note, your play-by-play really funny and made me smile, although I feel terrible for you losing 4 hours of sleep last night! And I laugh every time I read stu's posts about her husband sleepwalking.
I'm glad it was nothing!!
We had put a blanket up on our dresser because our cats like to sleep up high. Our cat Lily usually sleeps up there at night. One night, Adam and I woke up at 4am and the bedroom light was on!! It freaked me out big time. Turns out that Lily had accidentally flipped the switch on because the blanket is right by the light switch!!
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
