I think I know why I can't sleep
I think I have solved my sleeping problem. I am pretty sure it has to do with my newfound addiction to Law & Order. I have become this obsessed chic! I am recording like four episodes a day! I found out that they were doing a marathon for Law & Order SVU on Sunday and I got all excited! How sad is that? lol
The other night I was watching this episode about this guy who broke into chic's houses and stripped them down to panties and a bra then laid them on their stomachs on the ground. He tied their hands together behind their backs and then tied a rope around their left foot. He would tie the same rope attached to the foot around their neck. The chic would have to keep her leg above her back to keep from killing herself. None of these women succeeded. I had to sleep in the girls room.
For those of you who were unaware, I am a chicken shit. I don't watch scary movies. In fact, I was afraid am still afraid of
Freddy Krueger. I had nightmares about him as a child and slept with a teddy bear that my grandmother gave me (to keep him away) until I was fourteen. The teddy bear had a little pocket under his arm to hide something in. (I just tried to find one on ebay and for the first time ever couldn't - wow.) Anyway, to this day I avoid scary movies like the plague. If I watch one on accident, I can't sleep. I get all paranoid.
So, lately, with my over-abundant watching of Law & Order and finding out exactly how many psychos could be out there, I am scared shitless of something happening, of someone breaking in. Rather than lying in bed fantasizing about Matthew McConaughey trying to fall asleep peacefully, I am thinking about whether I should buy a taser and where I would keep it if I did. I realized night before last that I would feel so much safer with another adult in the house. Even when Ruthie lived with me, I felt better. It takes some of the weight off. Maybe I should put an ad in the paper:

NEEDED: One (preferably) large male to sleep on couch.
Your duties will include coming to my house at 9:30 pm
every night and sleeping in my living room so that I can
get a good nights sleep knowing that there is another
adult in the house to fend off the might-be psycho rapists
and or other creepy dudes. It would be great if you didn't
snore but that isn't a must-have.

I have to admit that I miss having a guy in my bed on nights like those. When you are lying there, slightly scared, it is awesome to just have someone put their arms around you and hold you close...

Ok, people, it's Tuesday. What are you scared of?

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
