Scary Evening! Heat! Randomness!

So, the kiddos and I are all out in the family room watching American Idol last night. Mark was in the bathroom. Suddenly, the kids and I hear the teenager's bedroom door close. Not just close, but click shut. The teenager jumps up and herds the kids and I to my bedroom which is right off the family room. Sb picks up the phone to call 911 if necessary. The teenager goes to the kitchen and grabs a butcher knife. He peeks around the corner and says "There's someone in my room" because he can see the shadow moving under the door. He goes down the hall and busts open the door. And the dog comes running out as fast as he can. How the dog shut the door is beyond me, but we all got quite the adrenaline rush!

Then, we're back to our program, all sitting watching while Mark is working on his laptop, when the doorbell rings. At 8:30. our doorbell rarely rings that late, and the teenager is grounded, so we know it's not his friends. My heart is beating like crazy again. But it's the heating repair person, coming to replace the motor on our heating system. Which he did...and then came down and told us the news that the fan blades have somehow welded themselves to the old motor so those need to be replaced as well. So he'll be back first thing in the morning. Which must mean something different where he comes from because it's 1:22 in the afternoon and he hasn't been here yet. But, we've managed to stay warm enough and we have a home warranty still so we only pay $50 no matter what is wrong with it, so i guess we have to have a little patience!

We're redoing SB's bedroom (which she shares with the Princess) for her birthday. Painting this weekend and then she's getting all stuff for her room for her birthday. It should look awesome when it's done, but today I have to go in and take down all the crap on her shelves and desk and hutch so that I can repaint them tomorrow. Some of the stuff has been in the same place since we moved in 5+ years ago. Should be fun!
