Be Still My Heart

As it is every morning (on a work day), I rolled out of bed and got ready for the day.  Walking Sadie around the block (it's 1/3 mile) - it's what I do every day before I leave for work.  Today was no different.

We arrived back home, and I began gathering my things for lunch when I heard a knock at the front door.  Who the Hell? At this hour??   Sadie goes nuts, barking and carrying on.  I get a little nervous and peek out the window - some guy with long hair.  Not one of my neighbors, but could it be one of those sales people???? Ugh.  I didn't do anything, just stood, waiting, hoping he would go away.



Then I heard the doorknob rattle!!
And I freak.
I grabbed the knob, locking the lock and
slamming the dead bolt into place.
Then I grabbed my phone from my pocket
as I hollered "GO AWAY!!!"



The next thing I hear is "Hey Mommmmmmmmm" .

O.M.G.

It's my son.

I tried to laugh, but the adrenaline is pumping through me.
My hands and legs are still shaky.
Yeah, going to work isn't going to happen just yet.

It took about 20 minutes before I could start on my way to work.
That's definitely not the way to jump start your day!
I had to grab a Diet Coke as soon as I got to work!!!
