YIKES shots fired

[shadowpaints]

we live out in the middle of no where, like 20 minutes from town. i always thought it was safe here.. i guess not!!

i have been trying to sleep since 9pm, i never EVER lock my door, but for some reason tonite when i went to bed i shut the porch light off and locked the door. i laid in bed for almost 3 hours, tossing and turning, for somereason couldnt sleep.

i got up, called hubby (hes on the road driving truck) and went out to have a smoke.. thats when i noticed 3 cop cars in front of my house!! long story short, the neighbors got into a huge fight (one ended up 100yards past my house on the ground after being drop kicked, there is blood all over the road...) then the other guy started shooting at the guy on the ground with a .22!! OMG im all riled up. im worried! its just me here and my 2 little girls. hubby is in colorado .

i cant sleep now!! i have my black lab sitting with me now.. im freaked!

I just saw this now--I hope the rest of the night was uneventful in your neighborhood, though I don't imagine you got any sleep. When I read your topic heading, I was happy to open it & read that the cops were there. I'd find that much more reassuring than if everything was dark & I heard the sounds of fighting and shooting & I was there all alone with the kids.

Sometimes I can't decide which is better--to live in the boonies with no neighbors around, no one nearby if the bad guys come along, or to have neighbors not too far away but then maybe have those neighbors turn out to be the "bad guys"

I hope you can have an afternoon nap today, and that tonight will be peaceful again!
