I’m not home…really I’m not?
I just woke up from a nap, brushed my teeth washed my face and then the doorbell rang. Did I answer it?….No. Why? I’m not really sure?
At first, I just froze, like a deer in the headlights, debating who it could be. Thinking, if it’s someone I know I don’t want them to see me with my “I just woke up” hair and pillow lines on my face. Like it really matters, like they care what I look like. I seriously sat there trying to peak out the blinds to see who it was. Pathetic I know. I find myself doing this all the time. I’ve ran after the mail guy before after realizing he was just trying to have me sign for a package. Today though, I never did see who it was. But now I feel bad, so much guilt I have to blog about it. So if you came to my house today and are reading this blog…I’m sorry I didn’t answer the door. I hope it wasn’t that important.

I can totally relate! Last week I had just gotten out of the shower and the doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone so I didn’t answer. Then after a minute or so I ran to the window to peek through the blinds. I realize it was UPS and had to franticly chase the guy down so I could get my package.
I wonder - is this a “woman thing” or do guys also do this?

This is funny, because I also hate answering the door when I am home alone. I don’t know if it is an anti-social habit or what. But are we anti-social??
I don’t know… And besides who shows up at your house without calling first? I think you should start answering your door… What if you do and the person turns out to be an escapee from a mental institute? Then I would feel bad for giving you such advice…
Get a big dog, walk to the door with it everytime you answer it….Yes, that’s what I would do!

Sandy, you are soooo funny! I also liked Ashleigh’s response above. Honestly, it won’t be long, and it will be neighborhood kids asking if Leah can come out & play. I have kids, and the door (as well as the phone) is ALWAYS for them. Start training Leah soon, so she doesn’t answer the door to let in that escapee from the mental institute! Or you could just teach her how to peak out of the blinds like you. ha-ha
