my husband has not learned to lock doors. at night, we go to bed and i usually have to ask him if he has. he then rolls his eyes, gets out of bed and marches to the front door. which isn't that far away considering we live in an apartment.

i have reminded him several times that before to long, its going to be me and a baby and does he really feel safe leaving us here like that. even in the safest of neighborhoods? we live in a society unfortunately where the days are gone of feeling like we know our neighbors.

anyways.

so this morning he goes off to work, i wake late and watch the today show, doing some minor work for work. i am talking to him over the net when my front door opens. i immediately say hello. its the girl from the apartment above us, she freaks and starts crying, apologizing saying she thought this was her apartment and that she was so sorry she just went to get mail and all. i calmed down, but was still a little freaked (ok not so little) out. i told her it was ok, and asked if she was ok. she said she thinks she scared herself more than anything. i think we both just felt really bad and were both scared.

im hoping the event, will wake andy up. that he needs to start locking the doors. because while we were lucky, and the neighbors above us aren't bad. it may not be so the next time. lets hope there isn't of course. but still. we got lucky.

and considering the white guys across from us, own a pitbull and let it roam free throughout the complex (i am petrified of dogs) they also blare their rap music until wee hours of the morning, and fight all the time. banging on the door and yelling at one another all the time. and next to them is a bunch of Hispanic men that hang around the apartment smoking lord knows what, and thrown their trash on our door. it should be noted that i have no problem with race, but thats the best way to describe them.

well maybe its time to rethink his routine when he comes in and leaves me alone. its either that or think about moving. which we have. and we are planning on, once our lease is up in july. so we will be looking here in the next few months. along with getting used to a newborn.

but until then. he really needs to rethink things through.

wouldn't you agree?
