Silence and Stolen

*  My husband is working nights this week, so I've been trying to get the kids up and ready quietly. After dropping my girls off at school I honked at someone for cutting me off. I immediately felt guilty. Not for honking at the driver (he so deserved it!) but because I'd made a loud noise and was afraid it would wake up my husband. Yes, my husband, who was sleeping a mile away!  Due to my frequent pangs of guilt,  the entire drive home I was continually reminding myself the honk couldn't have woken him up.

*  I have a remote car starter (LOVE it!). The remote has a feature that if anyone tries to enter my car without my remote it will make a ton of beeping noises. For example, if I'm sitting in a quiet church meeting and my husband remembers he left something in the car, when he gets into the car using his key, my remote will go haywire. Good times.
   So I was in Michael's with my girls and my remote started beeping. Someone was trying to get into my car! I told my girls to wait inside the store while I went out to check it out. When I got outside I could see exhaust coming out the back of my car. I figured I must have accidentally turned on the car and that's what all the beeping had been about. I looked down at the remote to see if I could see the cute little animation that says the car is running, but it was too dark to tell. When I looked back up I saw white reverse lights on my car! What the heck?! I continued walking towards my car when it started to back up. Not kidding you! There were these two sketchy looking guys in. my. car! By then I was nearing the middle of the aisle and my car was just about finished backing up. My plan was to plant myself in front of my car to make them stop (in retrospect, that probably wasn't a good idea). I'd just arrived in the center of the aisle and the guys in my car had just finished backing up when I saw *my* car parked two spots away. Oops!
