sleeping with the lights on

My wonderful Mr. Wright left Monday morning for a business trip. Thankfully it was a short one and he will be back tomorrow. So last night and tonight I find myself in our house all alone for the first time (since we've only been married a little over a month).

It's funny on nights I beat Mr. Wright home I have no fears. Get home start supper, shower, begin homework, play on computer, catch nightly shows or whatever it is I choose to do before he gets home and I do all these things with out fear, I hear nothing in the house and I can relax. BUT here is how last night went:

• Get home and lock ALL doors


• Double check to make sure they are locked


• Feed dogs with big heavy flash light in hand (aka weapon)


• Freak myself out so let dogs in


• Dogs get bored and knock over water (outside they go)


• Stay on computer as late as possible


• Take QUICK bath


• Ice maker scares the pee out of me


• Clocks seem to tick EXTRA loud (never even noticed them before)


• Bed


• Get out of bed and double check locks


• lay down (get scared)


• Turn bathroom and living room light on

Yeah I know....your probably thinking what a WEENIE. I know I am. I've never been like this. I used to stay at home a lot by myself AND my roommate wasn't always home when we lived together. There is just something about sleeping next to a man that a girl gets use to. It feels safe, and comforting. Thank you Mr. Wright for keeping my nights safe and light less.

P.S. If i had a little inside dog to sleep with this ALL could have been avoided. HINT HINT Mr. Wright!
