Lucky... very lucky...

This has been my title before, but I really feel lucky tonight.

As I was cleaning out the duplex for the last time there was a domestic dispute next door - yes with the crazy neighbors that made me want to move in the first place...

When i pulled in the drive, i saw one lady bring in a baby from next door. Not too long later all you could here is yelling and stuff banging against the walls. I heard "HEELLLP" "GET THE F OUT" "STOOOOP" so I called the police... yes - i was scared and more than anything worried about the baby and toddler that I knew lived there.

Cops show up quite quickly (3 cars) and listed for a bit at the door then decided to knock. I moved a couple things to the car - to listen - and heard the lady say "I don't know why anyone would call the cops, nothing was going on... I just don't understand why anyone would call the cops" the cop said something on the lines of ma'am if it was just an argument, its ok, we're just here to make sure everyone is ok and she said "well, we did have an argument, but its over now." Her face was swollen - cop wouldn't notice too much because he didn't ever see her before, but it was swollen...

I just could not ever imagine being in that situation in my life. Not as a kid, a teen nor as an adult. There is NEVER fear in my mind when I think of Javier. I don't understand how anyone is ok with this feeling. I don't know why you would put your kids in that situation. I've never been there, so I just really have no comprehension of it. Its not a judgement - its just plain cluelessness.

I have actually said that Javier was the "meanest husband in the world" - and I think I hurt his feelings with it (since he brings it up ALL THE TIME) (ha ha) but I am 100% certain that I am lucky. I am so lucky to have found someone that will always treat me right and someone I'll never have to worry about with our kids... He's pretty wonderful... don't tell him though :)

I am right now feeling like I want to get involved in a domestic violence organization... I really wish some of these ladies could just know that it is not natural nor is it ok for them to fear anyone - but especially the man that is supposed to keep them safe. If you know of anything like that in the BCS area, please let me know.
