getting comfortable with house living
we have now been living in this yellow house for a little over a month (i’ve discounted the time we were away) and i am slowly getting comfortable to house living
you see, i have never really lived in a house before
i have mostly been an apartment girl and have always felt comfortable that way
before we moved into this yellow house, living in a house and not in an apartment was a big dream of mine
but even though it was a dream, it was also somewhat of a nightmare because i knew what fears/phobias i have about living in a house
fears about living in a house you might be asking?
yes, fears
let’s talk about showering while home alone
can i rinse the soap off my eyes fast enough before THIS happens to me?
no. i don’t think i can
i have watched too many (way too many) csi and law&order episodes to feed my paranoia for a lifetime
when Will goes out at night and i am left with a sleeping Lily, i can’t even tell you what a mess i am
i check the doors every five minutes to make sure they are locked
i peak out the windows to make sure nobody is breaking in
if a branch, leaf or whatever falls on the roof, you bet i jump to the window to make sure nobody is trying to come attack us
and i always have the phone by me. you know, in case i have to dial 911….
so, as dreamy as it is living in a house, it is also nerve wrecking
for me anyway
do any of you share any of these crazy fears with me?
do you also think of THIS when you are showering at home alone?
or am i the only crazy one?

Yes! I’m the same way! I was always afraid someone wanted to break in and get me. Having a big dog helped, but now we don’t have her anymore..and we are thinking of getting a house too. So I’m already thinking about alarm systems, etc. I used to put a chair in front of the door with glasses on it–they fall and break if someone opened the door..PARANOID!!

@Kelley,
lol glad to know i’m not the only one. this seems to be more of a female thing since many of them came forward and no males did :/
