Moms Know Best

Did your mother ever say to you, "No, you can't have a snack before bed. It will give you nightmares."

Well, I think she may have been right!

No idea how long I had been sleeping last night but all of a suddenly I am rudely awakened by screams of absolute terror!

GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!!!

RUNNNNNNNNNN! I SAID RUN!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so tired, I figure that IIIIII am the one dreaming so am still laying there, half asleep, half awake, then I hear it again.

GET OUTTTTTTTT! RUNNNNNNNNN!! Ummmm, I don't see you running???!!!

It was at this point I realized it wasn't me, it was the hubby.

Shhhhhhhh, you're having a dream, go back to sleep.

At this point, he sits straight up in bed, swings his legs over the side, and turns off the window fan and just sits there, with his hand still on it, still yelling, with the occasional (okay, more than occasional) FBomb thrown in for good measure.

At this point (before the neighbor's dial 911), I match see his Fbomb and match him a couple, tell him to lay down, shut the hell up and go back to sleep. (I'm not very pleasant when my sleep has been disturbed). He lays down, muttering, then silence. Unsure if it is safe for ME to go back to sleep incase he is gonna start screeching again, I ask what was chasing him. A couple of curse words come out in amongst him saying nothing was chasing him, he was chasing something. I ask what (I love having conversations with this man while he sleeps, it's hilarious) he was chasing. After much coaxing and prodding about what terrifying thing he was after (we watched something with vampires last night) He yells A CHAIR!!

A what???????!!!

I SAID A THIRTY FOOT HIGH CHAIR!!!

People, THIS is why ice cream before bed is NEVER a good idea!
