3 AM:
I am lying awake in our bed. Scared.
I hear a noise.
Now I am really, really scared.
My imagination takes off and comes up with this:
There is a monster in my closet. It wants to get me. I am sure.
I glance over at Darling Hubby.
He is peacefully sleeping. He has no idea of the danger. I have to warn him.
I poke him.
Repeatedly.
Him: What? What?
Me: Wake up!
Him: Whaaa?
Me: Wake up!
Him: I'm awake. What's wrong?
Me: I'm scared.
Him: Of?
Me: There's something in the closet.
He sits up slightly. Glances at me. Glances at the closet. Then back at me.
Him: Fine, I'll go check.
Me: No!! It will get you!
Him: What exactly will get me?
Me: The monster!
He throws the covers back. Begins to get up out of our bed.
I pull him back down.
He is just a silly man. He doesn't know the danger. I have to protect him.
Him: Just let me check it so we can go back to sleep.
Me: It will get you! Then it will get me!
Him: There isn't anything there to get either of us!
Me: I know there is!
We banter back and forth about the dangers of checking for monsters.
I plead with him not to.
He lays back down.
I poke him again.
Me: Can we go to the living room?
Him: No. Go to sleep.
Me: But...I'm still scared.
Thirty seconds later...
I grab Vladimir and dash into the living room. Darling Hubby follows me.
We snuggle together on the couch. I am happy and we are safe.
In the morning, Darling Hubby goes to investigate the closet.
Him: It was just a shirt, babe.
Me: No! There really is a monster!
Him: You just let your imagination get the best of you is all.
There is a monster in my closet and only I can see it.
In other news...
Day Two.

Tree in progress.
Till then...

You, my dear, are a certified nut!! But I remember those days of being a young married girl....I did some pretty goofy things, too! Good thing hubby loves you that much!!
Haha.
Darling Hubby didn't have much of a choice.
I would've kept waking him up if he hadn't complied.
