Call the police. Here is what you say:<br/><br/>My alarm is beeping and I'm not sure what it means. I'm afraid it may mean someone's in my house. Could you send someone to check for me?<br/><br/>Anything like that will work. It's what cops are for and they do understand a nervous mom at home alone. <br/><br/>cjh So, two things –

One, if it had really been an alarm, wouldn’t the alarm company have called you?

Two, in the future if you think someone’s in the house, do not wait until you see them. Call the police. Here is what you say:

My alarm is beeping and I’m not sure what it means. I’m afraid it may mean someone’s in my house. Could you send someone to check for me?

Anything like that will work. It’s what cops are for and they do understand a nervous mom at home alone.

Our alarm only goes off if my husband is out of town. <br/><br/>For no good reason, other than a test to see if my bladder is working.<br/><br/>My husband won't let me have a shotgun. I do love the way you tell a story!!! I totally would have wet the bed. Our alarm only goes off if my husband is out of town.

My husband won’t let me have a shotgun. I do love the way you tell a story!!!

The number of times I have raced down the stairs because my kids opened the wrong door at 6 in the morning is just ridiculous.<br/><br/>We have a security system because my husband is out at the hospital working overnight a lot, and I hate being alone with two girls. It does feel rather defenseless. I wish I could get a dog but my husband's allergic. So I settle for the beeping, which will probably never work in a pinch anyway.

If you'd like to know about the time that my sister and I called 911 when we were teenagers, ask me. It also involves the absence but mythical presence of a shotgun.

Well, you might feel better to know that I once called the police on some racoons that were on my porch. The policeman must have been bored anyhow b/c he was really nice about it. Oh dear!
