Hubby was tired. So tired, that no matter how many times I kicked him, begged him to turn over, and pleaded with him to stop snoring, he would not. Nearing tears, I took my blanket and pillow Linus style and dragged my tired, cranky, ticked off, body down the hall to the spare room. Stomping and muttering all the way.
The spare room was such a disaster with boxes and bags piled everywhere, but at least the bed was soft, and empty, and the room was quiet. Sigh.
It wasn’t long before I finally succumbed to the sweet sweet slumber my poor body so desperately needed.
I awoke with a scratchy nose. Irritated, I rubbed my face and rolled over.
Then. Awoke with a start! WHAT THE ???? AHHH!!!!
Something. On, My. Face!
Oh God no. Not more Bats!
Please no, I can’t take more bats in the house!
Muffled a scream, jumped errr I mean fell out of bed.
Knocked over that stack of boxes on top of myself. Oh pain. Ribs. Hurt. Again.
Commando crawled to the light switch. Flicked on the light and revealed…
A Purple Polka Dotted Balloon slowly losing it’s helium and bouncing gently around the room.
I am a freak.
A freak afraid of a balloon.
A freak with one rib out of place.
A freak with a weapon.
A great big needle.
R.I.P Balloon.
Mwah!
Maybe I do need glasses. There is still time to enter my giveaway to win a free pair! Ends Friday.
I recently read another blog about a balloon attack. You girls gotta be more careful when storing these things! Apparently they’re alive!
Funny! I went over to CVS and bought a huge container of industrial strength earplugs and now I sleep like a baby..lol
Love to you

LOL but hope you’re feeling better by now with a much-needed rest.
one of my sisters used to snore so loud that i could hear her from my bedroom (hers was two doors away). the next morning i told her that she disturbed my sleep and she apologised and told me to pinch her nose for few secs to stop her snoring. that evening, she did it again and i went to her bedroom and pinched her nose as instructed by her and she woke up and scolded me and kicked me out of her bedroom!!!! :(((
lesson: elders are NOT always right!

LOL! Poor balloon! When Hubby snores, the whole room shakes! I feel your pain!!!
just found you — ooooohhhh, how cute your blog is!
We have had a bat in our house twice and both times I barricaded myself in my bedroom! I am glad it was a balloon!
what a scare,
life tastes more delicious due to adventures like this, have a graceful evening.
My hubby was snoring like crazy last night too but somehow I am able to block it out! Whew!
That is hysterical!
I also deal with a snoring spouse. Fortunately, he stops after I punch him.
And it was such a pretty purple polka dotted balloon. Did you go back to sleep and have nightmares about balloons attacking you? This was really funny!
Kind of funny, but that would really freak me out too.
HA HA HA! I would have been scared too!
Oh lord that would have freaked me out to, but instead of jumping up i would have laid there still not breathing until I fainted or something… glad you had your camera on hand to record the demise of the purplepolkadottedmonster!!!!!!!
That would have been a terrifying experience for me too! Eeek! A rodent is always a good first suspicion. After all, anything else won’t be nearly as bad as it could have been.
That is soooo funny. I know that feeling of panic! Sorry that the balloon was trying to eat you.
I hate those nights of snoring…
I lay on the couch in my office and put on a movie to fall asleep to.
