Lucky Guy

Yesterday the electrician's assistant came over to change something out that was leftover from a job they did last month. Keep in mind that we think someone might have messed with one of our business trucks that we keep on the property...So, yesterday I went out in the drizzle (in my pajamas and no bra I might add) to empty the vacuum canister. There was a young guy in our driveway. I wasn't sure who he was or what he was doing so when he came up and asked me for a key to the 4 car garage (we keep mostly business stuff there) I just stared at him like he had fallen off of Mars and asked, " What are you doing here?" He looked at me like I had fallen off of Mars and said, "I'm here to change out the thermostat. I just finished the one down at the shop." That's when I recognized him from the last job. He must have thought I was so weird. :) Anyway, after I went back in I realized Michael had called to warn me that he was coming. I'll tell you what (and I'm not kidding)...if I had seen him down by the truck/shop and I didn't know what he was doing there I would have jammed the 13 round clip in my gun and gone to find out. Then he really WOULD have thought me certifiable. Side note- I have never in my life pulled a gun on anybody or had any need to; but really, after all we've been through with the trucks and the business getting so busy that it sucked the life right out of my husband I wouldn't really hesitate to if I thought someone was tampering with our expensive trucks.


Another side note- Even then I would only draw if I felt threatened and in a case like that wound not kill. I would pretty much only kill for my kids...or maybe in another seriously big circumstance. I don't fancy myself to be God and I don't take ending someone's life lightly.


I figure that I didn't need to add the side notes but just wanted to in case it sounded like I was some hard core bitter, angry, sadistic person.
