A few months after we moved into our new house, the kids were down for naps and I was hanging up clothes in our walk in closet. My husband was in the military so there are combat boots and gear all over the house. He also had a pair on the top shelf of our closet (which I myself could not reach). As I was hanging clothes I was just thinking over all that had to be done that day when suddenly the boots lifted off the shelf about an inch of so and dropped back down. I froze with fear, but I decided that this is my house and be it friendly or not, that was not acceptable. I have rules when it comes to things of this nature, because to be honest it does still frighten me. My home is my sanctuary and even the good things do not take place inside my house (hence the conversation in my car and the restroom at work). I decided not to be afraid but to acknowledge it and stand my ground. I said something along the lines of, "Good morning. I know that was you. I don't like those things so please don't do that again." Two years later and not another single incident (a side from the windows wanting to keep opening a crack, but I have not completely ruled that one out as the pressure within the house yet, so that doesn't count) :) Always keep asking!
