Joel left this past weekend for India. He'll be there for the next few weeks. Things were going okay until last night. I put the kiddos to bed and I was in the living room when...knock knock knock...pound pound...knob turning...door trying to open. Someone was trying to get in the house! I had all the lights on and everything. There I was, scared to death. Eventually they left. I called a friend who sent her husband over to check things out. Of course being a mum home alone I'm still paranoid. So I call the police and they came right over. They also checked things out and said they would patrol the neighborhood etc etc. I'm still not sure if it was someone really trying to get in the house or if it was just kids playing around. But I didn't hear any kids voices..I didn't hear any voices. Due to being really freaked out and scared, I only got about 3 hrs of sleep.
Fast forward to tonight. Things are better until I open the cabinet to get some dishwashing detergent....and out climbs 1 EXTREMELY large cockroach. I'm talking bigger than I have ever seen before. Palm size. It scared me out of my britches. That's for sure. I get the creepy crawlies just thinking about it. Aubrey came in the kitchen (didn't see the cockroach) and noticed that I dropped/broke a plate. And there was glass all over the floor. "Oh crumbs!" she exclaimed in her thick Aussie accent.
Oh life in Australia....some things take longer getting used to than others...I wonder what tomorrow night will bring..
Oh man! That is scary. So sorry. Wish we could pop over and keep you company. When does Joel get back?
