And the Atlanta Tainows got broken into.
Yep, our wonderful home was broken into today. It's amazing how violated you feel when this happens. Around 2pm this afternoon, our alarm went off. They called Mat and then call the police. A neighbor had seen kids in a red Jeep trying to break in and called the police as well. They were there shortly but the damage was done.
On Sunday Mat installed a Strikemaster on the front door. They did attempt to kick in the front door but thanks to the Strikemaster, were unsuccessful. Although they jumped the fence and did break in through our french doors in the back which were dead bolted. At least the Strikemaster bought us more time. More people possibly saw them? In any case, the break in did a number on our front and back door. Both will have to be replaced.
Mat filled out police report. They dusted for fingerprints but the kids were wearing gloves. Poor Siler. She has been freaked all day. I thought she might have gotten out in all the commotion but Mat found her in the corner of our office very scared. My Mac laptop was stolen and our TV has minor damage. That is what they game to get. But I think it was just too heavy to have go out the back door and carry over the fence. They took my tivo remote and so I have been stuck on the food network all evening.
Our neighbors are so kind and all offered to help. They really are the best neighbors to have. Everyone is on an email chain. We all have each other numbers. We all watch out for each other and help others in need. We have a great little community here.

Despite all the crazyness of today, we are still okay. Millie is fine. Mat is stressed but fine. I am kinda scared but fine.
Poor Mat didn't have time for any of this mess today. Engine 11 opens tomorrow so send your best wishes (via brain waves and not phone calls) to Mat. I don't think he can handle any more phone calls. He and Jose have worked so hard and it will be great to see everything come together. Millie has a party dress and I am going to take plenty of pictures.
