Screech. Scratch. Like nails on a chalkboard. Scratch, screech, scratch. Ohh I should not be hearing noises like this at 2am. Or ever. It’s Freddy Krueger. I know it. Roll out of bed, grab the baseball bat from under my bed. (Don’t judge me, it’s like my security blanket K?) Hold my breath and tiptoe to investigate the noise. Sigh, just a tree branch knocked loose against the window courtesy of the crazy high winds. Good grief I am a scaredy cat. Back to bed.
Running water downstairs? Um, why do I hear water running downstairs? Both girls are accounted for, tucked snug in their beds. I just checked when I wandered the halls with the baseball bat. So why the water? Oh yes, the dishwasher. On a money saving timer set to start late late into the night. Back to bed.
A car door slams. Just a cab bringing home the neighbour’s kid from a late night of partying. Back to bed.
Finally, finally I drift off to sleep when ……
Pfffft. Oh Sh*t. What is that????
Pffft. Ahhh. Never mind. I don’t think bad guys stop to blow there noses. Damn those runny noses. Back to bed.
Four more sleeps nights until the Hubby gets home, then I can get some rest.
There aren’t too many axe murderers in the suburbs. Right?
oooh i so feel your pain!
right there with ya…
hope it gets better!!
RULE #1: NEVER tell on your blog when hubs is out of town. Stalkerish Axe Murderes LIVE for this. Truly
Rule #2: THey might blow their nose. I’m going to say no, because they aren’t really the cleanly type.
Rule #3: Delete this comment after reading, so as not to trace the axe murderer back to me, who may be reading this blog, and go over and find my blog, read about my fear of axe murderers and come after me.
Why is it that the same noises we hear when everyone’s home freak us out completely when they’re not?
I would not recommend watching Fringe, or The Walking Dead, before going to bed. Eeeek!
Its hard when the hubs is away!
I think you may be just as much as a scaredy cat as me. I heard something hitting my window..I was scared to death. Only I had the hubs next to me, so I wake him. “Honey I hear something hitting the window!!!” Hubs tells me to go check it out. OMG are you kidding me! I yelled at him “what a man!” Do I grab the gun next to me…nope I call for my dog to go w/ me. Turns out it was baby deer. I don’t know why she was hitting her head against my window, but she ran off.
LOl Brian, that funny!
I bought a runner’s pepper spray after I watched last two week’s episode of Private Pratice when Charlotte was attacked…that night I carried my purse with the pepper spray to bed because I was scared I might spray myself at night LOL! the things we do…….
I use to keep a hammer under my bed when I was in college 🙂
Even though my husband sometimes grabs me in the night, I still do miss him when he’s away. Although I think I’d be the only one to wake up for the ax murderer even if he (the husband) is here.
Stay safe. I think you and that baseball bat will be just fine.
I’m like you…I don’t sleep well when my husband is away.
Funny, I remember a time wayyyyy back when I didn’t sleep well when he WAS in the bed! haha
Stay safe! Maybe you need to invest in an alarm system? They always help my peace of mind!
I do the same thing when I am home alone with the kids. I always triple check all the locks and leave a couple extra lights on. 🙂
hehe. i cut my finger once…on a knife under my pillow…my wife kept there while i was away…darn axe murderers…
Good morning!
I know the feeling, sometimes I’m like that, too.
even in the suburbs it’s not safe. i experienced somebody following me, but i called the cops. so i was not hurt or anything.
but it made me paranoid for i think a month!that somebody might break in the house…whatsoever.
The worst. I hate nights without my husband! I’m always so sleep deprived when he gets home.
I just think its cool that your dishwasher starts in the middle of the night.
I feel the same way when my hubby travels. I sleep with my cell phone, pepper spray, and yellow lab.
