Excuse me ma'am

So...Wednesday afternoon after work and picking the girls up from daycare...I took Lucee out to potty and noticed a police car at our neighbors house...I was a little concerned but didn't think too much of it at this time...I go inside for awhile and take Lucee back out after she finished eating only to discover TWO police cars at our neighbors house...at this point I begin texting Manny...he was at work at the fire dept which he's at for 24 hrs so it was just me and the girls...finally the oh so friendly cop asks me "ma'am were you home today?" "no sir" "was your husband?" "no sir he's at work for 24hrs" "ok thanks" OK THANKS?! are you kiddin me? so I say "umm excuse me sir, is there something I should be concerned about? it's only me and my two small children here" "oh, someone broke into your neighbors house and we're trying to see if anyone saw anything" and he then turns around and continues speaking to his fellow copper..probably discussing dinner possibilities!! Ok so at this time...I'M FREAKED...I mean someone broke into the house RIGHT NEXT DOOR during broad daylight!! I really dont like the feeling this gave me. I didn't sleep a wink that night...not to mention I locked the glass storm doors, the doors, the garage door into the house, left the porch light on in the backyard and front yard, and left the lamp on in the living room. It's the worst feeling in the world...a million things ran through my mind...like what if i were to come home one day and its just me and the girls and someone is in our house?! what if someone breaks in at night and its just me and the girls?! what if what if what if...i couldn't stop! Our neighborhood has always felt "safe" to me, I've never been scared at night without Manny home...but I'm not feeling safe anymore. There have been a few other things in the neighborhood that have happened recently...and not to mention the "type" of people who have recently moved into the area. I've mentioned an alarm system is needed...and possibly a move from our lovely home...
