My goodness this has been one strange and scary afternoon. I was sitting in the living room hanging out with the boys and I could hear someone screaming outside. School is out for the Summer and I thought it might be one of the kids across the street, but it wasn’t… It was a lady standing in out front yard screaming and clapping her hands as if she might be looking for a lost dog.

I could hear getting louder and louder, so I peaked out the window and I saw her put her hands to her face, and right away I knew something was very wrong. I went to check that all of the doors were locked, and then I kept the boys very quiet in the living room. I then heard a loud “whack” on the storm door, and I grabbed both boys and headed to the kitchen.

I got both boys settled in the kitchen, and I quietly walked to the front door, peeled back the curtain, and I saw her foot. She was sitting on my front porch, shaking. I went back into the kitchen and called my hubby, and then I called the Police. I called James back on my cell phone, and I waited for the Police to arrive.

The Police made it to our house quickly,  and thank goodness! They stopped the lady just as she was trying to cross the street, and they talked to her for quite awhile. I have no idea what she was up to, but I am grateful that we are all safe and sound. I’m still a little shaken up and worried, I felt a little helpless this afternoon. Such a strange day…
