Came home to door open, small dog outside in the dark and realization that i hadn’t set the alarm.  What to do?  Game face for the boys…..grabbed the taser in one hand and panic button on alarm fob in the other…..Systematic walk thru of house….turned up nothing.  Odd for door to be open as no wind but hey…a good reminder to ARM the HOUSE and check locks!  Probably a contractor left it unlocked or maybe ajar.  Buy a taser….buy 2 if you can….one for the car and one for your purse.  Ideally, you would get the kind that doesn’t require direct contact like mine….a reminder to myself to buy a new one.  They are loud and scary and i feel much safer carrying one if alone with boys.  Alarm system, FIRST ALARM in Aptos, was the best investment we made.  More on that in another post!
