Well it was ok till last night when some one threw pumpkins and its guts all over my sidewalk and behind my car 15 minutes after I got home from Womens Bible Study!!! There was no one and I mean NO ONE in the area when I came home and I ran onto my pourch and locked myself in the house..So in a 15 minute span of time some one came from God only knows where and vandlized peoples houses and driveways with garbage and pumpkins all up and down my street...and these weren't small one either, these were big enough to do serious damage to my car if it hit the widows or the windshield...
My oldest had come back from being on a date and saw the stuff all over the sidewalk and behind my car....I cleaned it up in the morning as this was late at night and I didn't feel safe cleaning it up in the dark.
The police have been on calls all over our street and it is getting worse. My oldest is now wanting to be at her friends house and not be here as she is afraid some one will try to get in if I am not home during the day. My 13 year old is very fearful of ANY loud noises outside and she and her sister are still sleeping in my room.
IT seems like all of a sudden it's the whole city has been invaded by infidels who think they have the right to just go into some ones house and take stuff they want for themselves. 7 people have had thier homes invaded now and one poor lady encountered 2 men in her kitchen as she came down stairs to get a drink of water at 2 am! SHe wasent hurt but she screamed loud enough for her husband to call 911 as he was upstairs and by the time he had gotten down stairs they were gone...
I couldn't see any tracks where the men had tried to get into my house last week in the bathroom window but I cleared the brush away so dirt is exposed so IF they do try it again they will leave a mark.
I am doing ok but I worry now when I leave my home that it will be invaded while I am gone....
SO now I try to be home at nightfall, and my neighbor watches my house when I am gone and I watch her house when she is gone during the day.
On the armor front, I have figured out that I can trim little by little off the bottom of my shin armor and that I need to trim some off the top of the thigh armor and cut a point off the back of one of the thigh tops. I need to cut about an inch off the top of the butt piece as it is too long .
