night disturbance

last night i woke up to the sound of some annoying car alarm honking. it was 1:30 am and it just didn't stop. it wasn't until i heard the sound of a loud diesel engine starting up and then cutting out again that i woke brent up. "is that the truck?" i asked. brent bounded out of bed, looked out the window and started pulling on some pants. before he got downstairs the doorbell rang. i thought it was dennis until the person started pounding. it was dad. he'd come in the middle of the night to get some papers out of the truck. we're not exactly down the road either. he couldn't get the alarm off. so that gave both brent and me quite an adrenalin rush--not exactly something i like in the middle of my sleep. brent was up until 4. poor guy. crazy father.
