To start this entry, I first must tell you that I am not easily spooked. I grew up watching Freddy and the Candy Man. I LOVED horror movies. I played “Murder in the Dark” with my best friends, in the dark. I’ve been bush walking AT NIGHT time, without a torch. Last month I was reading a book about serial killer’s, just before bed time. And last year my friend and I laughed so hard we pee’d our pant’s because a horror movie we were watching made both of our husbands jump…one of them even swearing! To really sum it all up, let’s just say I’m a hard ass biotch.

This week we’ve been introduced to some pretty freaky clips on YOUTUBE. Clips that have completely changed the way I feel in the dark. I was really OK with what we saw last night, until my friend, who shall remain unnamed because she is a grown woman scared of the dark…said “I am not scared OF the dark, I am scared of what’s IN the dark”

That made a lot of sense to me. I’m terrified of swimming in the ocean when I can’t see the bottom. Not that I am scared of the ocean, I am scared of what’s IN the ocean. The stuff I can’t see, that my mind kindly makes up for me.

So last night we came home and put Jaxon to bed. While I was on the toilet…ahhhhhhh shit…I’m sorry. I had to say that. I WAS on the toilet and the toilet happens to be in the room next to Jaxon’s room.

So as I was saying. I was on the toilet and I heard a bang in Jaxon’s room. I REALLY did hear it, I am sure. And so did Jaxon, because he woke up screaming his head off.

So we calmed him down and got him to go back to sleep and went to bed ourselves. We now have a baby monitor since his room is much further away from ours and we couldn’t hear him until he got to “melting point” Through the monitor we could hear “tapping” like his blinds were banging on the wall…except the window was closed and no breeze was about. Jaxon once again woke up and we gave up trying. I brought him up to sit with Daddy and I in bed while he was awake and still we heard bumping noises in his room.

At this point, Tim doesn’t know how freaked out I am. He sends me down there ALONE to put Jaxon back to sleep. And the lights were off. And I WAS SCARED!

Needless to say, that baseball bat that we somehow acquired way back when we first met (who plays baseball anyway?) is now in the bedroom next to my bed. And I’ve made Tim install a lock on the back door…not only because of the freaky alien clips and scary shit we’ve been watching but because a new friend of mine once woke up to noises and found a drunk man hiding under her 3 month old’s cot while they all slept!

So here are the clips I am referring to. YOU can watch them and then leave comments blaming me for you being scared of the dark too!!

This next one is actually pretty cool…try and figure it out, because we couldn’t see a way that it could happen!

But now, I am sad to say…I must go to bed. Because Tim just went to bed and left me in a freakin dark room!!!
