Not your average morning...

So here I was, heading out to my car at 730 this morning, when I noticed that our neighbor's car window was open. I thought that to be very odd because a. this is Italy and you don't leave your windows open and b. it's really cold out. As I got closer to my car I noticed that their car window was completely shattered. As I was going around to the drivers side of my car I heard the crunching sound of glass under my feet and as I looked up, there was no rear passenger side window in my car. Yeah I know what your thinking and saying out loud....HOLY CRAP!!! ( and yes Uncle Jim, crap can be holy!). Of course I scream for Michael but he can't hear me at all. So I go running up the stairs to our apartment. Michael had a 9am call in to work so he was still in his pjs. He opens up the door and I just look at him and say our car's been broken into....he looks at me and says what...as I'm repeating myself I'm banging and ringing our neighbor's door. It seems that our street was robbed by whatevers. About 4 cars on our street were broken into, but there were a few other streets in neighboring towns that also were vandalized. We lost 40 litres in gas coupons and my gym bag that had shoes and gym clothes. There were cds all over the car, glass all over the back seat, and they went through our glove compartment. Well I was pissed this morning. I guess I just feel violated and even more nervous about where we live. We have a plexiglass window in it now, but we have to wait to get an estimate or something from the insurance company before it can be replaced. THe thing is Michael's BMW was right inbetween mine and the neighbor's car, and they didn't even touch his car.

So that's what happened between 730 and 830 this morning. I did go to work and observe 2 classrooms today. I also got to play with a few kids. They crack me up.

Hope you all have a good day. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to post some happy news!!!
