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?
Read some erotic novels, it’ll help you sleep, after a while!

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.
i almost cut my finger off finding a butcher knife under my pillow after a business trip on once…
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 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
I’m a light sleeper, and I hear everything too! Talk about paranoid!
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…

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.
I hope your hubby comes home soon and he never finds out how much you miss him! 😉
Hugs!!
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 love that you have a slugger under your bed. I used to as well before upgrading. Don’t mess with M.M!
I am fierce and brave and able to leap tall buildings unless hubby is gone at night. Then I am a chicken gizzard.
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!
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!!
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!!
