Kids

I've been thinking about when I was a kid and I'd sneak into my parents bedroom and try to get into bed with them. I never understood why they would jump out of their skin, and get mad.

Well about 2am this morning in my foggy sleep I hear the shuffling of footsteps in the house. Now mind you, I'm a true crime buff. I won't sleep with the windows open because I know how easy it is to take a screen out and get in, etc etc. So even though I sleep really well, and can sleep through anything (I once fell asleep on top of a HUGE sub woofer speaker playing Metallica) anyway I guess I'm still on guard in my sleep.

So I'm snoozing and I hear this itzy bitzy shuffle through the house. And I think in my fog, I know that sound, it's not the dog, it's not the cat. (they're not in this house anymore) Then it hits me... it's a PERSON! So I whip the covers back and jump out of bed, only to see my son standing at the foot of the bed. His dark shadow. (of course this is the first night in forever I haven't left a light on in case he gets out of bed or whatever) So once I see him I say "Russell?" and he whispers.... "Yeah" So then relieved that it's not a mass murderer of the smaller persuasion. (remember that dream last week about the midgets) Once I realize THAT is not my reality, I say "Come on... get up here" and let him crawl into bed with me. The goof.

It wasn't until this morning as I was getting ready after being forced to sleep on the very edge of the mega huge king size bed because Jr was hogging the thing that I realized how much of a heart attack I did have last night. So it is at that point that I figured I should say... Sorry mom. Sorry dad. For all the mini heart attacks I caused you over the years, sneaking in and out of your room. My bad. And don't worry, I'm getting pay backs, as we speak!

Oh and right before I left for work I was in my room grabbing some stuff and the boy started LAUGHING in his sleep. LAUGHING. It cracked me up! I think he was laughing because he was dreaming about me freaking out, and him getting to come into bed. He was most likely thinking... oooohhhh yeah.... I fooled her. Haahaahaaa.

goof!
