This can't be good. Now that she and Ray are parents, they are in bed early so this can't be a call looking for a designated driver ;)
They live 5 miles from me but their apartment complex is known for having issues. Issues meaning it's morphed into a playground for trouble. They had planned to move as soon as the weather broke, hoping to rent a house now that Mariah arrived.
The typical petty crimes go on there and they hear about trouble spots constantly. Caitlin had called me a few times last month, during the day, saying a nasty looking guy was knocking on her door. We'd talk until he left.
More and more people are moving out and each building has several vacancy's. Her building has 12 apartments, only 3 rented out. Soooooo, after the fact, the local police think on this particular night, her apartment building was used as part of a set up because less occupancy, lesser chance of a witness.
A pizza was ordered, the poor delivery guy was badly beaten, robbed of his money and car. Her and Ray's apartment address had been used to order the pizza, so the police knocked on their door. Clearly they could see *bed-head and formula stained t-shirt* Ray and Caitlin were not waiting up to participate in a pizza sting.
Ray was called back to work this week and the thought of her being there all day with the baby and into the early evening when he was working overtime, freaked us all out.
Soooooo ... in ONE NIGHT they moved in with me. Fortunately Mariah already had a nursery set up at my house. I cleared out the extra bedroom that had become my Barbie room for Caitlin and Ray.
I repeat ONE NIGHT. Most went straight into the garage, the rest? Well, a camera crew could use my house for the next taping of "Hoarders".
I'm sure by this weekend we'll have everything in it's place. The best part, I get to wake up to this every morning:
P.S. A HUGE THANK YOU to her father for taking in Lola and to Rays sister for taking Puma ... two more animals in the house and I'd evict myself!

Sounds to me like everything is already "in it's place" ***wink***
Your Sisters comment was precious and so are YOU for being such a wonderful Mom and Grandma. <3 Gotta LOVE the episode of hoarders reference! You are just too funny honey! LOL
I don't blame them for wanting to move out. You're a great mom and grandmother to be there for them.
What a great Nana. Saw the Caitlin's post on FB about moving in with you and wondered why, now I know!!
What a wonderful way to wake up each day!
