Closet Disaster

At about 4 A.M. I was jolted awake by a loud and strange noise. Our newest pets, the rabbits, are on the other side of our bedroom and I thought perhaps it was them scrambling around in their hutch. Normally we sleep with a white noise maker on, but last night we neglected to turn it on.

I was concerned at the loudness of the sound as I was afraid an animal was trying to get to them and they were scrambling about. I listened and at the same time reached over and shook my husband. He mumbled an apology for snoring. I told him it wasn't that, but that I had heard a loud noise and I wanted him to listen.

Next we heard a loud thud. I was out of the bed in a flash, grabbed the flashlight and headed outside to check on the rabbits and to defend them from whatever was after them. I got out there and they were peacefully munching on some hay and looking at me like I had lost my mind.

I returned to bed, turned on the white noise maker and it took time, but I finally calmed my racing heart and went back to sleep. This evening I needed something out of our closet and this is what I found when I opened the door:

Turns out that the sound we heard was our closet falling to pieces! There used to be a clothes rack that went from one side of the other (this is a long and thin walk in closet, about three feet wide and about 7 feet long). The shelf that was over top of it also fell, dumping clothes, shoes, and other items to the ground...

So now I know what woke me in the middle of the night...anyone have suggestions on how to reorganize my closet;) Maybe I should apply for a closet make over:)
