So it's 2:20AM....

and I'm reluctantly but fully awake. Why, you ask? Well.....let me tell you about my night. I left work early and was happy to learn DD (who is potty training) had NO accidents today! Yeah! I took her to the playground and we had such fun! Then home, where we played outside with the neighbors daughter. They invited us to her Bday party on Saturday. Nice! Went in, did bath, dinner, bedtime. After DD went to bed, I spent some time doing things in the house, talked on the phone and watched a little TV. I came upstairs to my bedroom around 11:45pm. I was getting ready for bed. I have double sliding glass doors in my bedroom that lead out to a deck. I kept hearing at the window this little "tap tap, clack clack". After a few times, I thought....it must be a bug or something, maybe a beetle, trapped behind the blinds. I'm never going to be able to sleep with that noise so let me free the little sucker (and probably kill it.....) So I pull back the blinds and........

Holy Crap. The entire glass door is SHATTERED. It's actually quite a miracle it's still standing because it is shattered top to bottom left to right into tiny pieces, with an obvious impact point about 18 inches off the ground. Appears to be a kick at first sight. So I start to flip out a little. Mind you, I've had incidents with coming home to find my doors unlocked and I had an alarm system installed not long ago. But the alarm is for doors opening, not being broken.

I called a friend of mine who is cop. He told me to call the local police. An officer came out and looked around. He said he'e never seen anything like it. He wanted to secure it for me but the smallest amount of pressure will collapse it. In fact, I'm fairly sure it will crumble on it's own before morning. He asked me questions about who could have done this. It's clear I'm being targeted and I can't figure out why. I don't know anyone here. DD's bio father would have the biggest gripe against me but he doesn't know where I live. XBF....XBF??? I can't imagine it but .... He lives 2 miles away. He knows where I live. He even wears steel toed boots for work. Well, the police officer took all the info on both bio-father & XBF. Just as "people of interest". He said he'll have my unit patrolled tonight until I can get the glass replaced.

It's clear I'm being targeted. I'm one of 70-ish units and the only one being broken into? I'm flipping out. I'm scared and I hate feeling unsafe in this place that is the first real home I've ever known. I'm so tired...I need to lay down.

I'm scared for you. I hope you got it taken care of. I had no idea this was going on. I hope you had your locks changed. Thank God you went and checked it. Let us know how you are doing...
