I figure since this is the second time its happened(& second time its been a false alarm) its time i figure out a game plan!

      Since i live right in the middle of nowhere, and im also often left to babysit, and since i also have a wild imagination..... i need to think of a plan if someone was to try and break in the house, & im with the kids what to do.....

last night we heard someone bang on our door

Where i messed up::

*instead of checking to see what it was , i stayed in my room, and brought the kids in there

* instead of thinking logically i thought like a mad woman!

*instead of getting out of the house , and getting away i locked us all in one room

* instead of reassuring the litle kids its okay, i was like " We are All gonna die!!!!!  & if you touch my stuff , ill kill you before the person that kills us all will."

 Heres the Plan!!!!

 if there is any reason to assume someone outside in trying to get in , or someone is the house with me! 

i can

A. check it out, and figure out why i think that

b. or go straight to next procedure

which is ....

A. get the kids, and slip outside the opposite way i assume the other person is

b. Grab the phone and get the kids lock them in the bathroom

and  next step is

 Get me and the second oldest child with me( the first oldest besides me must watch the kids) and check around the house , in the house!!

& if everything is okay we go back to what we all go back to what we were doing!

 but if there is reason to believe someone is there ,but i dont see them personally  we will stay hidden & call the parents

If i see them , we call 911!:) and i find some useful weapons!

  hmm.... thats the plan , we might have to practice a little ... if anyone else has any pointers that might be useful feel free to share...

& id like for everyone to think up a plan for there benefit too.
