the darkside to summer

there are loads of reasons why i love summer.

and a few why i don't.
i didn't have any reasons not to like summer until i became a homeowner. and then you start to wonder about all the big kids on the loose in late hours of the evening, and what they are doing wondering the neighborhood after dark and what the are conspiring agains us.

i was laying in bed last night about 9 40ish pm. working on a letter i have been adding to daily to mail to TJ. I hear a rather loud BANG from somewhere outside, towards the front of the house.
well, i heard it come over the baby monitor, and teege's room is at the front of the house.
i get up and peek in the nursery and listen. all is quite. so i flip on the poarch lights in the front and back and go back to my room. not thinking much else of it.
it could have been the neighbors after all.
so i go to sleep.
i get up this morning and continue my day as usual. breakfast,coffee, feed the baby. then we go for our walk.
on our way back from walking i am coming up the driveway and see a rather large rock sitting perfectly in the center of my driveway, right up against the garage door. and there is a rather large white spot on my garage door. i figured it was a scuff from the rock. but when i got closer it was bird poop - not sure how it got there.
so i continue inspecteing the door - it's a metal door. and find a nice big dent close to the top of the door, and several scratch marks where the rock hit and scrapped the paint away.

nice.

someone threw a rock at my garage last night. a rock that is about the size of a softball if not a little bigger.
i have flood lights over my garage. i just replaced them all. a box of 4 was 16$. were they trying to knock out my lights? they're on motion sensing.
i of course am glad it was a rock and not eggs, or someone tping my house. but still, they could have busted my window or something.

kids.

this is why i don't like summer.
kids are on the loose.

i might add that teege's room shares the wall with the garage.
and i'm glad i didn't put the truck out last night like was i going to. i like to play musical vehicles when TJ is gone, just so it looks like we're in and out alot.
who know what would have happened then! they either would have busted the window on the truck or not messed with the house at all.

This is exactly the problem I have with the kids in my neighborhood. They run wild and wreck havoc. I never acted like these kids do and I am constantly afraid something is going to happy to my house or my cats. I really wish people would parent their children.
