Backdoors and Adrenaline
I woke up this morning around 4 AM kinda thirsty, so I waddled my way downstairs to the kitchen sink. (there we no cups in our bathroom upstairs) I noticed quickly that it was pretty cold.

I can totally relate. I had a break-in two years ago, & I'll never forget that adrenaline rush when I found the back door wide open. Oooh. Now I'm a total scaredy cat! I can't imagine if it happened in the middle of the night. I'd probably grab the pets and sleep in the car! ha!
That would scare the day lights out of me!
