1st Trimester
Now I really do not want to be alone this weekend..
This random guy just knocked on our door asking for a ride to work.
Every night, someone is knocking on our door trying to sell something. Fvck me.
FI leaves tomorrow for the weekend.

Re: Now I really do not want to be alone this weekend..
FI shut and locked our doors after he double checked out cars were locked.
I need a gun, or atleast some mace.
We live right outside a very, uh...peciluar part of town.
Shouldn't surprise me.
I have a really quick remedy for unwanted people at the doorstep.
You may or may not approve though, depending on where you live
I am interested in what you have to say...
SBLAY, let me preface this by saying our nearest neighbor is 2+ miles away.
We have had MULTIPLE people wander onto our property (apparently the 1/2 mile long driveway is enticing?!?).
Usually I grab the shotgun and *rooster* it whilst standing right outside the front door. That sound is unmistakable. Then I open the door.
Let's just say they DO NOT expect a female to be standing at the door at that point.
*edited because apparently that four letter word pertaining to loading a firearm is not acceptable*
That is badass. If I had a gun, I would do it.
Now I just need a license and a gun..
OMG, seriously...don't answer the door! I won't EVER answer when the DH isn't here. If it's someone I know who is in trouble, they would be smart enough to yell at me through the door. Beggars, drunks, and the like, will just stand there like psychos until they've had enough. So, even if your lights are on and you can hear obvious sounds coming from inside, just play like you can't hear the door (or don't care).
We've had weirdos wander up to our house before, asking for a ride or money or whatever other delusional requests they can come up with. My DH, God love his naive soul, always answers and tried to politely tell them we can't help. I, on the other hand, am always 2 seconds away from showing them the pointed tip of my largest kitchen knife. Especially now that I'm pregnant...I'm not playing around.
On a side note, maybe you should have somebody come stay with you while he's away. I always hit up my mom or close friends for a sleepover when I know my DH is going out of town. I mean, we have a home security system and a dog. But, nothing makes me feel more secure than having another warm body in the house (one that won't lick a burglar upon break-in).
