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.
This is HILARIOUS!! I thought I was the only person who was afraid of balloons!
LOL Seriously that is pretty funny! Glad it wasn’t a bat though!
Oh I’m SO GLAD to know that I’m not the only one that gets all ticked off and literally beats their hubs to death b/c of the snoring. Then when he wakes up he’s really put out that I left. ??? Seriously, what’s a girl to do.
I have a 7 week old right now and hubs is upstairs in the nursery on the spare bed so that I CAN get some sleep. He knows that between his snoring and being up every 2-3 hours, I would be a walking, talking, nightmare of a woman!
and bats? YIKES! Rabies is all I’d think of … eeewwwww
I would have done exactly the same thing..!…I love to tease my dog with helium balloons…he is soo afraid..but when were not looking he tries to attack it…its very funny..I know off track..but I was thinking of it..!
You Go, Girlfriend, you show that poor defenseless balloon whose the boss. That is freaky deaky story, that’s for sure.
He he! That’s hilarious 😀
(I’m terrified of balloons so the more needles, the better).
Don’t laugh!
Earplugs saved my marriage, btw. Just sayin’! 😉
I do the Linus walk to the spare room with my blankie too! When I have insomnia I can’t bear the sound of him breathing, let alone snoring. Is that love?
HAHA..you taught that balloon a lesson it will never forget! Don’t mess with ModernMom. lol. Glad it wasnt a bat!
ROFL! This is too freaking funny! You crack me up. I would have killed the balloon too!
WHAT? Did you say BAT?? IN THE HOUSE? You have had a bat in YOUR HOUSE?? OK…I am about to have diarrhea.
Please, if any of you wake up with one in the room, or one is with the kids and you find it, or it touches you, capture it and have it tested and get shots for rabies ASAP!
Otherwise, the balloon is hysterical, snoring husbands are NOT!
I would’ve freaked out, too, and would probably have screamed and waken up the entire house!
Ha! That sounds like exactly what I would do. Balloons are pure evil. This made me laugh.
My goodness, are you ok? That musta heck hurts!
It’s so irritating hearing loud snores. You can’t get a well rested sleep at all. I hope there’s a medical miracle coming out soon for snores!
That would have scared the poo out of me…good for you for giving that balloon what it deserved.
It had to go. It was time!
