Have you ever walked around your house (or apt.) in the middle of the night? In my opinion, everything seems just a little bit creepy. I am not a scared or fearful person, but whenever I am up with Baby M during the night I find my mind going to crazy places. Such as:
- Why is the cat sitting in the window by the front door? Is he looking at something (or someone)??
- Why did our sensor light just come on?
- Would I be able to jump over our fence with the baby in case there was a home invasion?
- Would I be able to fight back or would I just freeze?
- How fast can I dial 911?
- How fast can I run barefoot?
And then there are the other things that go through my head:
- I wonder what the living room would look like painted _____.
- I need to hang _______.
- Is that a possum walking along our fence?
- I hope our tree does not fall thru the neighbor’s window during the next storm.
- I need to clip some basil for my next batch of pesto.
- What other names sound good with Baby M? (NOT Pregnant. Remember, it is the middle of the night and I think crazy things)
In order to get my mind off the crazy train, I now think of positive things. Like, planning her 1st birthday party….. which is about 8 months away. Some might call that crazy as well.

Hahaha, this has me cracking up. I do the same things when I babysit or when I'm home alone at night!
I have those thoughts as well.
I get incredibly freaked out by my own shadow - I screamed once and realized it was me. I think it's a residual effect from too many horror flicks
You are freaking me out. I always think about things like that too though. My imagination gets carried away sometimes if I am up during the middle of the night.
haha! wow, you sound so much like me :)
lol...my imagination goes crazy in the middle of the night too.
Oh girl. You crack me up. I tend to have a very overactive imagination as well so I can only imagine what I would come up with! Probably something along these lines!!
LOVE this post for 2 reasons.
1. i freak myself out every single night. i have to close the door or else i swear i see people walking down the hallway. not sure who they are, but my mind plays stupid tricks on me every night.
2. my best thoughts and ideas happen in the middle of the night. as soon as i get hudson back to sleep i run to my room and write down all of the good ideas i had about home decor, stuff i don't need to forget to do, etc.
glad i'm not alone!
Yep...my mind wonders big time in the middle of the night. Even though I'm not up feeding a baby, I wake up and think of the oddest things.
Ha! You and I are on the same wavelength. I have all those thoughts! And I'm constantly half-convinced that someone is living in my crawlspace and plotting to break in. Paranoid? Yes. And I admit it.
I TOTALLY freak myself up when I am up in the middle of the night...which would be EVERY night. Although we are working on dropping the 2 am nursing. I always get creeped out- especially since my husband is impossible to wake up. i always think that I will take the baby and hide in the closet since it goes off to the side unexpectedly- this might be a bad plan...that or the attic maybe...
