LEAVE ME THE HECK ALONE!!!!!!

It started this morning when I was looking at the stats for my blog (which by the way I know people are still here readin' even if you are not saying anything) and it shows me if someone finds my blog by doing a search. I get pretty normal searches. Except for yesterday. Some perv was on my blog and it really makes me ANGRY! And not just any perv, the worst kind of perv. So I promptly removed myself from search engines and blog listings.

Then just a little while ago I took myself down to the local WalMart (please read with a heavy hick accent) to get the last few items I needed to make my Christmas shopping complete. I took Aubrey up to my mom's work while I was there so she couldn't see what I was buying. My mom had to leave work to take Lauren to a doctors appointment so she brought Aubrey to Walmart to me just as I was leaving the store.

She pulled up at the front of the store and gave me Aubrey. Then I started walking to my car. When I got close (I was parked all the heck of the way at the end of the lot) my mom pulled up beside me and said I was being followed by a scary looking guy. We looked around and he was gone but my mom said he had just been right there behind me. There was a car waiting behind her so I told her to pull into a parking spot and I would get the girls in the car and talk to her about it. As soon as she stared to drive off, Mr. Creep-O materialized and started walking up to me. I looked over to where my mom was and he saw that she was just on the other side of my car and he asked me for money. I told him I didn't have any and he left. My mom said he was right behind me when I came out of the store and he stopped and watched everything we were doing when I got Aubrey out of her car. Then he started following me again. She had a really bad feeling about it so she also followed me to my car, thank goodness! She said he was right behind me and every time I would weave in and out of cars, he would do the same and he never took his eyes off me.

If you know anything about me you know that I am pretty much just normally freaked out anyway. That's just how I come. So this has made it so much better. I was going to go to the grocery store after I left there but heck if I'm gonna go now without an armed escort. It makes me mad because I am normally very alert when I am out like that (like all good freak-a-zoids should be) but I was so concerned with trying to keep Aubrey from seeing what was in my cart that I was paying no attention to anything else. And another thing that makes me mad is that I just stood there like an idiot when he came towards me (durka-durka-doo). I have seen plenty of Oprah's to know better. I KNEW I was being followed. I KNEW I should have faced him and yelled, "STOP! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!", and then jabbed my key in his eye. Is it silly to wish I could go back?

I am just glad my sweet little girls and I came out of it unharmed. I am so grateful my mother was there and was more aware than I was. And I wanted to share this story with all of you so you can remember when you are out shopping at this crazy time of year to always be aware of what is going on around you. And don't forget to yell STOP!
