I’m not hearing things!
I have been known from time to time to wake my husband up in the middle of the night whispering, “Michael!!!! Did you HEAR that?!?!?!?”
He wakes up, listens, doesn’t hear it, goes to check it out anyway, comes back to bed, teases me and goes back to sleep. Sometimes he acts grumpy and goes out to check and comes back bitching when he doesn’t find anything. Other times he says, “it’s ok, babe” rolls over and starts snoring loudly.
Except for the other night…
I woke up hearing some sort of drum beat that sounded very much like a tribe of cannibals were prepping for a feast. I shook Mike and watched as his eyes widened because, THIS TIME HE ACTUALLY HEARD IT!!! And, for once he was almost as scared as I was!
He crept downstairs (unarmed and wearing only his underwear) into the family room where nothing appeared to be disturbed with the exception of the keyboard that was on and playing a creepy (at least at 2am) drumbeat.
Liza must have been up torturing the bird and mouse partying and scared the living hell out of herself when she ran across the keyboard. Man, I wish I had a nanny cam in there or something!
The important thing here is that he finally heard the noise too.

So what you’re saying is, if I ever decide to break into your house, I don’t have to worry about Mike?

I want to know why men think confronting the Big Bad in only their undies makes PERFECT sense…. but they’re still freaked out by a woman with a gun.

That’s Funny.
I’m sure Michael Loves the fact that the whole Internet knows that he answers problems in the night in his underwear.
I’m so glad My wife doesn’t blog. :cheer:

That is hilarious and something my cat would probably do!

My cats stay up all night running around and making creepy noises too. I’m so used to hearing things in the night that someone could break in and I would just think it was the cats. Good thing for dogs!

I have to agree with student teacher on this one. I’m so used to all the odd noises that our cat makes during the night that a burglar could easily break in and I wouldn’t know. Hubby is also up at odd hours and making tons of noise so even if I knew it wasn’t the cat, I’d still probably think it was just hubby out doing something. Geez, now I’m worried someone will break in and I won’t hear them. Better start checking out alarm systems

Amy has never, in almost 10 years, woken me up to investigate something. You wimpy women.

In our house - I do all the middle of the night investigating. Mark can and has slept thru earthquakes. No pesky little burgler is gonna wake him up.

Did he carry a baseball bat or a golf club, like they do on TV? Can we see a picture of him creeping downstairs in his underwear?
@Avitable - Maybe Amy doesn’t think you could take ‘em! :smack:

Miss Britt - That about covers, yes. Although, I would hear you and then I would scream and laugh and say - OMG!!! Britt is here! Bust out the Vodka!!!!
Marissa: Hmm, that is interesting. Although, I had a dinner guest over one time who insisted that women with guns and dirt bikes were “fucking hot” - that’s when Mike reminded him that he (the dinner guest) is a father of a daughter and did he actually want HIS daughter looking like that?
Beamer: I bet YOUR wife’s blog would freakin’ ROCK. Hee hee. :demon:
Jen: Can you imagine? It probably almost gave her a heart attack. Hee hee.
student teacher: My dog is worthless in that department. He barks until you enter his yard and then he runs for his life.
Lisa:
The cat making noises I can deal with - the cat trying to play 2am DJ is another thing altogether.
Avitable: Yes, but then one must wonder how many times YOU have woken HER up to check out mysterious noises.
Crazy Lady: No can do. I’m the girl watching the horror movie yelling, “WTF is wrong with you? You don’t go check out the scary noises BY YOURSELF!”
However, this officially makes you my hero!!!
HoosierGirl:
I WISH I had pictures because I would TOTALLY post them. I’m just awful like that.

I just think that neither of us must be the paranoid weirdos that you and Britt are.

I didn’t think of that. I was thinking that it was probably due to the fact that Amy lived alone for several years as an adult before we met.

a tribe of spirit cannibals would have been kind of cool though
