People have big gardens that allow thieves to hide and the usually fine weather means windows often stay open.<BR/>It's happened to me and it's awful and I'm practically resigned to the fact that it will happen again.<BR/>If it's any consolation, if you'd moved to a new place, you might have been burgled there too. And it's totally understandable that you put of moving as it is such a damn pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105245460932184204.post-72376664634189176202008-05-26T21:02:00.000+00:002008-05-26T21:02:00.000+00:00Wow, so much news in one post!

Shitheads, like you said. <BR/><BR/>Can you go out and get yourself a massage or something? Make a little time to get some bodywork or even just a pedicure. Something to soothe the anxiety. You poor thing. <BR/><BR/>R's right... it couldn't have happened to a less deserving person!

Yes, it has been a tough time, but I'm trying so hard to move forward, to look to the future.<BR/><BR/>I have so many mixed feelings going on right now, I don't even know how to put them into words. There are so many moments when I just want to break into tears, and my boy has a hard time understanding this. He keeps telling me to be strong... And I know I need to be, but I somehow don't feel very strong right now!<BR/><BR/>I've of course told myself numerous times that all that was lost was "du matériel" as they say in French, and that it was more than likely just some young s***heads looking to just find themselves some quick cash for whatever reason... One of my few consolations it that at least they weren't so horrible as to destroy our furniture or our other few belongings. Which I know sometimes happens, and that would be even more heartbreaking.<BR/><BR/>The big step we need to make is finding a new apartment -- but how to undertake such a hunt when I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant?! I just can't even fathom it at this point... And I don't even know where to begin to look! Honestly, we thought it was just bad luck, a one-off the first time around, and granted we had other reasons to need to move as well, but I didn't want us to rush into something new and make a mistake, or regret our choice.<BR/><BR/>Now of course I'm just regretting not making a move ANYWHERE, anywhere but here...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you again for your comments and thoughts. R, what a really lovely thing for you to say... And anonymous, you're absolutely right: the most important thing right now is our baby, and the baby's health. I've got to focus on that!

I think moving house is probably a good idea..your piece of mind and feelings of safety have been totally destroyed, it takes so long to find that back so perhaps a fresh start for your piece of mind is best. I do know exactly what you mean about the feeling of your intimacy being walked all over. When our house got robbed it was the same as yours...clothes and things strewn everywhere..it's like they get to take a peak inside your private life and that feels so terribly violating...<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry this has happened, especially at such a time..it couldn't have happened to a more undeserving person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105245460932184204.post-91779282708313503982008-05-17T16:16:00.000+00:002008-05-17T16:16:00.000+00:00Oh, how awful, and although there can never been a...Oh, how awful, and although there can never been a good time to be burgled, being pregnant has to be about the worst time possible. Rest and take care of yourself, that's the first priority. The second is to figure out how fast you can MOVE so you will have the peace of mind you need when the baby comes. Moving is a royal pain, I know only too well, but it's a short term pain, with long term gains in this case!The Inside Skinny Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409942543315008503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105245460932184204.post-55609942439893488762008-05-17T06:55:00.000+00:002008-05-17T06:55:00.000+00:00My sympathies Bloomie, I know exactly how that fee...My sympathies Bloomie, I know exactly how that feels, as we were burgled once many years ago. I wasn't pregnant at the time though!! But I do remember that feeling of total shock and incomprehension upon seeing all my things scattered all over the floor.
