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?
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 😀
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..
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!!
Whats really bad is when you here a thunk and all the animals are in bed with you.
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.
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.
Oh yeah, I tagged you…

I am the same way when my husband is gone. I hear every single thing and I sleep with my phone, just in case.
Good hearing is a superpower. It will terrify burglars.
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.
The only time my hearing is great is at night when hubby is away! Funny that…
By the way, that is one CUTE kitty.
I hear all sorts of creakiness when I am by myself. But only when I am by myself!! It’s weird…
Sometimes I think i have super sonic hearing! Hang tight he’ll be home soon. Secret is safe.
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
