Okay, so I don’t want to get all scientificy on you, but according to my Hearing Specialist Doctor Man and his partner in the white coat, I have “hearing like a cat”. Really, that is what they said! Apparently this is all kinds of good.
So, great news right?
Until…it’s midnight.
Your Hubby is still on his “work” vacay.
It is blustery and blowy outside. It is truly winter in Canada.
You own a creaky old dog and a real live creature of the night, the sneaky kitty.
Now my super hearing skills are working against me.
Yes. I got up because I had to investigate thump #1. Dog knocked over the recycling bin.
I crept up to the window for crash #2. Stupid garbage can blew over outside.
I double checked all the locks for the unidentified sound that we shall call kerthunk #3.
Finally, back in my bed, I reassure myself that no bad guy would stand a chance against an hysterical Mama with the Power of Super Hearing and her trusty Louisville Slugger. Newly liberated from beneath the lonely King Size bed.
Eventually I must have drifted off for another restless night of sleep.
I am pathetic.
Only three more sleeps until the Hero Hubby gets home. Sigh. Then I can put in some ear plugs and take a nap. Sleep is overrated anyway.
Don’t tell him I miss him. K?

Your secret is safe with me! Only your blog though, hmmm I dunno, it might be pretty blabby ;-)
Hang in there, the ordeal is almost over!!
Dude, I think I have super hearing too, and the imagination of Stephen King, and the constitution of Pee Wee Herman. Yeah, sleep IS over-rated!!
I have things living in the fridge that only make noise when The Husband is gone. Some say it's the ice maker, but I know better!
I am fierce and brave and able to leap tall buildings unless hubby is gone at night. Then I am a chicken gizzard.
I love that you have a slugger under your bed. I used to as well before upgrading. Don't mess with M.M!
Your secret is safe with us. I have the same troubles sleeping when I am home alone. I always hear a lot of weird things too.
I hope your hubby comes home soon and he never finds out how much you miss him! ;)
Hugs!!
You have my sympathy. My husband just got back from his work trip. I hear everything when he is gone. I need a Louisville Slugger along with my pepper spray.
Oh my I have no clue what I'm going to do when my hubby leaves for boot camp because I won't beable to sleep at all I'm so use to having him there right beside me everynight I have no clue as to what I'm going to do..Don't feel bad your not alone on this one...

I'm a light sleeper, and I hear everything too! Talk about paranoid!
I am the same way. I hear everything. I sleep with all the outside lights on.
What I learned...is a few glasses of wine will put me under and I won't hear every little sound. I actually SLEEP.
good luck,
Suz
That seriously stinks. When my husband is gone I don't hear his grizzly bear snoring...thank God, but I hear everything else. I'm a wimp, afraid of the dark and everything. I normally have to sleep with a couple lights on throughout the house. Seriously, like lights have magic powers to keep me safe??
Glad your hubby will be home soon :)
i almost cut my finger off finding a butcher knife under my pillow after a business trip on once...
Wow!! My daughter has super sensitive hearing. If I rub my hands together slowly because they're cold, she looks over at me as she's hearing the noise as if I were beating drums.
Hope you get some rest soon.
Read some erotic novels, it'll help you sleep, after a while!
Secretia
you need a knife too.
I will be celebrating my 21st wedding anniversary and husband has been traveling for just as long - in the beginning I would check under the beds - in the closets. Every little sound got me jumping out of bed convinced someone was out there. After the kids were born I got worse until..... we invested in an alarm o now I sleep like a baby... just a thought..
Love to you

Sometimes I think i have super sonic hearing! Hang tight he'll be home soon. Secret is safe.
I hear all sorts of creakiness when I am by myself. But only when I am by myself!! It's weird...
The only time my hearing is great is at night when hubby is away! Funny that...
By the way, that is one CUTE kitty.
Having super powers isn't all it's cracked up to be. Like me? I have superhuman strength, and everyone wants me to open stuck drawers and bottles and stuff all the time. Such a drag.
Good hearing is a superpower. It will terrify burglars.
I am the same way when my husband is gone. I hear every single thing and I sleep with my phone, just in case.
Oh yeah, I tagged you...

It's almost over. Then you can start guilt trips.
Or it could be worse, my hubs came home last night and now I can't sleep! I probably got 2 hours.
Instead of a bat, try a machete. It lets the intruder know that you don't just plan to "thunk thunk" him to death, you are really going to mess him up. A crazily written note in red crayon that says "This house guarded by machete wielding sleepless woman", posted on the door, might be a nice touch.
Whats really bad is when you here a thunk and all the animals are in bed with you.
Strange how little noises can seem so intimidating when no one else is around!! I am sure that he was scared to death in the Marriot! HAHAHA!!
if ur pathetic... then so am I!!!
hubby wrks graveyards a couple of days a month.. and truly, i can hear the stinking cat WALKING.. and since we both have cats we know how stealthy they are.. drives hubby crazy! last nght i kept hearing owls, pinecones falling from trees... EVERYTHING..
I hear everything whether my hubs is there or not -until I am actually sleeping that is, and then I only allow myself to hear the kids. You are a much stronger woman than I. When my hubby would go out of town I made either my mom or one of my girlfriends stay with me. I don't do night time alone. Way too much of a scaredy cat for that! Hang in there the next couple of days :D
Thanks. I totally won't sleep tonight. Hubs or not. Ax murderers suck.
Oh no, you need a sound machine, that is what we use. Of course I don't usually use it when my husband is traveling so that would not have helped last night.
I so feel your pain hubs works in the ER so he is always doing shift work and many nights it is just me and our daughter. So for sometime I did not sleep I heard EVERYTHING and anything. Then I came to my senses and realized I enjoyed having a night, two or more without hubs and his snoring. I leave the t.v. and tune the world out- try it Good luck!
I promise not to tell ;)
Awww, that so sweet.
Yes, a house at night is verrry creepy! That god for house alarms, I would never sleep otherwise.
Sweet dreams!
I am paranoid when hubs isn't around either. Thank goodess for the house alarm!
I hate trying to sleep if my husband isn't home. I'm not sure if it is my hearing or if I am just jumpy!
You make me laugh! I have a dog who is my ears and guard dog!
Oh girl, be so grateful you have a hero hubby. I have woken my husband up on more than one occasion because I have heard a noise....only to have him groan and roll over, or tell me it is nothing and fall back asleep. I am the protector of my castle!
How I can relate to this! I seem to have the ultra ears also and have a hubby who travels. I'd wear earplugs to get a better night's sleep, but then...I might miss something!
