Scary Awakening

I usually leave for the gym at 5am so that I can have a quick workout before Ty has to leave for work. This morning I woke up and decided my warm bed was much better than the gym and I went back to sleep. Ty got up and left for work. I was still enjoying dreamland. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Then the doorbell rang, several times. It was about 6:00. It was my parent's neighbor Cheryl. She had been up working on her computer when she noticed the light on in my car. She looked out the window and saw a hooded man sitting in my car. She thought at first it was Ty. She watched the man walk out of my car and into another car that was waiting. At this point she knew the man was not Ty and called the police. While the police were talking with Cheryl the car she had seen the man get into returned. When the driver noticed the police they tried to get away, but they were caught quickly. Cheryl was able to id the men. My car is being dusted for fingerprints and my GPS is gone. I am glad that was all that was in the car and I am glad that no one was hurt. It is still creepy to know that some strange person was in there and up to no good. I sometimes feel like these are the things that happen to everyone else, and while I know the situation could have been much worse, I feel very unnerved by the whole thing. Hopefully we can get the GPS back, but if not I am sure we will move on!
I think today I will cuddle with the kids, kiss Ty a little more, and eat some chocolate.
