Hmph

Home alone today, all day, for the first time since we were "cased".  I don't think of myself as nervous or scared or incapable of taking care of myself.  However, today I am pretty sure I was starting to have a stinkin' panic attack - called a good friend and she chatted with me for awhile and I felt more at ease.

This is ridiculous.  Our home was not invaded, no one did anything except make contact that was obviously in order to see if we were a possible target or not.  I have since armed us with a handgun and a shotgun .....

I did take a shower while home alone which was a huge feat since I was terrified.  House was all locked up, shut and locked the bathroom door and brought a gun in bathroom with me along with cell and house phone.  Sheesh.

Tomorrow I will be gone in the morning and come home just before the kiddos .... guess that means I get to search the house and make sure we are all safe.  Funny that feels less scary than just being here.

How long until I find my new normal that doesn't include panic attacks?
