Let's play a little game.


We'll call it....

What's crawling my leg??

For the first time in literal DAYS I was able fall asleep and stay asleep this evening.

The humidity was lifting so I was able open my bedroom window...

Feeling the soft, cool breeze as it gently drifted across my skin had lulled sleep early, and I was thankful.

It was at some point around midnight that I found myself sitting upright in my bed, freaking out, swiping a beetle of some sort off my leg.

" my God! my God! my God!"

Do you know what it's like go from sound asleep maniac freak out mode in 6 seconds flat?!?

"What's going ON back here! Are you watching scary movies again??"

The Spawn came huffing down the hallway, she was still awake watching a movie on her phone in the living room.

"I don't know, my brain's not awake yet. Something's on my leg!!"

Like the little shit she is, she flipped on my bedroom light, blinding me on top of it all.

So, there I was, barely conscious, blinded, swatting frantically at whatever it was that was crawling on my leg.

" My God Mom, it's just a bug."

With a disapproving sigh and grunt, she picked the bug and away she went with it.

"Thank you..."

"I'm doing it for , not you. I want finish my movie and you won't stop until the bug is gone."

"I love you!"

"I love you too."

Happy middle-of-the-night Friday!

    I must have had about an hours sleep in total on Thursday night. I had constant flare-ups in my right foot. It's been bad at nights but never that bad!
Waking up with a bug crawling on your bare skin ranks right up there with the stuff of nightmares. Yikes!

    Kudos to her for removing the little critter.

    I've often woken up with a start convinced there is something buzzing about my ear - I hear it so vividly. But of course as soon as I'm fully awake, there's nothing there.
I've woken up before and swore I saw a giant spider crawl up one of my window blinds.... My closet door once, too. Ugh! That was frightening!

    Gotta love her ulterior motive for removing the bug....so she can watch her movie. lol But the bug was gone, so life is good for both of you!
Did you notice how she immediately accused me of watching scary movies? She's such a stinker!
