NELSON Cop-tails revisited!
(r's story reguarding last nights events)...So, my WONDERFUL fiance, Joe, was kind enough to put in an alarm system so I could feel ever so safe-- tucked away in our Michigan home where I must spend all my nights alone. Last night I was talking to NONE other than James... when I came home to the alarm going off! Well, I just figured it was a malfunction of sorts so I let myself in and turned it off. Before bed, I set the alarm to censor mode. This means if anyone's creeping around out in the main parts of the house... it will go off!
The time was roughly 1:45AM when I was startled awake from my precious slumbers to a very loud, annoying sound! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh! Then, it hit me... it's the alarm! I freaked out!!! I called Joe immediately and he assured me things were fine... he coaxed me out of bed... and had me reset the alarm. Just as I was hanging up with Joe-- thinking myself a fool... it starts going off again! In my head... I'm imagining the perpetrater coming closer and closer to my bedroom door ready to attack!!! At this point... I was close to hysterics! Joe told me to go ahead and call 911 and just inform them of what happened... so I called... and they said they'd send someone to check up on things. Of course time seemed to stand still and I knew at any moment... a serial killer was going to bust through the door and kill me... I somehow managed to get into the bathroom thinking that perhaps if I hid in the shower "he" wouldn't find me. Thankfully, my amazing fiance stayed on the phone with me! As he's flying down the roads he OF COURSE gets pulled over by a cop... who was LESS than cooperative (but thankfully didn't give Joe a ticket). Then, I hear the door-bell. So, I called 911 back to verify it was the cops... and made my way to the door. Well, anyone who knows me knows I have a problem with LOCKS... I can NEVER unlock/lock them! So, the cops are out there and I'm ding'n around with these locks for the better part of an hour (slightly exaggerated for affect) I finally decided to just go open up the garage door. In came the police full of questions-- as I'm a total mess from fear and tears... I think they summed me up as a loonatic and took off (before Joe even arrived... the gull!!!) AND FINALLY my JOE came to the rescue. He was better than any ol' cop. He took a five inch knife out of the drawer, I took a 2-inch, and we crept around the house checking every crevis until we knew there was NO possability of anyone being in there!!! And Joe stayed with me until I had settled down enough to go back to sleep!
SO, moral of the story. DON'T set your alarm to censor mode and sleep with your cell phone in one hand and a knife in the other!!!

That is sooooooooo funny. And people want ME to get an alarm. PLEASE...I'd be setting the thing off every night!
Glad you are okay there Bucky-Lynners and that Joe is such a sweetie!!
Oh, dear R, I realized when I finished reading your account that I'd been holding my breath!! I think my heart stopped as well! Not a pleasant night for you, and I am so thankful for Joe coming to your rescue.
Okay, after re-reading I don't know why I said it was funny. I would have been super scared! I guess I thought it was funny because I know how you are little Rebeka!! Remember that time at the haunted house. I thought you were forever lost (mentally) after that incident!! Ha-Ha! Love and miss you!!
Well, as for Josh's friend... that kind of a joke is NOT appreciated AT ALL!!! And I didn't notice the seat b/c Joe is not always... conscientious of such things (his one flaw)!
Aunt Char I do apologize for the incorrect spelling and tense issues I had with my story... I posted at work and only had 15 minutes of lunch time left... so I wrote in haste;-)! It's not like the Met-Pro desk where I had free-reign over the internet at all times!!!
And Sar's... ya had to go and bring up the haunted house issue!!!! I remember that too -and like you-- I'm surprised I mentally recovered after that one! lol
Okay... FOR real who is josh's friend... YOU -Uncle Steve!!? I'm seriously on a mission to find this out... since I know who our wonderful "allen/arren" is!
Whew 'R'! What an exciting night for you...although I'm not sure those knives would do you a whole lot of good if there really was a burgler in your house...but then again, if it gives you a flase sense of security..then go for it...whatever works right!? Ha!
I think Joshes frend is Elizabeth and not Uncle Steve!
I think Josh's "frend" is Uncle Jeff.
R, do NOT apologize! Not necessary! I don't even notice things like that, and IF I did, they would not bother me at all unless you were my student or my child.
(Or a Jerry who needed correction.)
you tell him Blog Marm, it's at times like this I am so glad to be a Jim. Oh my word! Eve, I cannot even imagine how I'd react if something like that happened to me, remember when we watched "what lies beneath" oh my word we were so pathetic. on Saturday night, I slept over my friends house and at like 3 AM we heard a huge thud in coming from the floor above us, we thought it was one of the younger brothers, but when we went up there, there was no scampering of little feet or anything out of place, I was freaked out by that, I can't imagine if an alarm were to rouse me out of deep slumber
By the way james, mom said that her CHILDREN, students and jerrys get the rod of correction, so you're not off the hook just because you're a jim.
Onto you, Rebeka. Not all cops are mean! What a scary experience. ALthough, I would've loved to have a hidden camera to see you and Joe sneaking about with knives! And what if you would've come accross the bad guy? You'd have been a bloody mess!
Fortunately, we have some GREAT cops in the Martin clan and are thankful for them every day!
