Last night, I heard rustling in my bedroom by the bed when nothing or no one else was in the room. I'm not gonna lie. It kinda freaked me out. When I couldn't find the source, and it finally stopped, I wrote it off to a random occurrence.

A couple of weeks ago, I dropped off my son so I could work for a few hours.  As I sit in her perfectly arranged and pristine home, I notice...
