So last week Kelli came home to help me get ready for Kalissa’s bridal shower that we hosted here on Saturday.
We had a long day and didn’t get to bed until after my bed time. Â I was trying to sleep and not keep a running list of all I had to do scrolling through my head when finally sleep took me. Â A couple hours later I was up and had to go to the bathroom.
As I was drifting back to sleep I heard a huge crash down stairs. Â The first thing I did was reach over to Hubby’s side of the bed…yep, he was there. Â Oh my..now the dogs who were sleeping with Kelli in her room were frantically barking and barking. Â I was spooked.
Was someone in the house? Â Honestly, a person would think I would feel safer living in town but honestly, I felt safer living on the farm. Â I tried to think what to do. Â I asked Hubby if he heard it. Â No response. Â He was sleeping. Â Okay, did I dream it. Â NO! Â The dogs heard it.
I sleep with my cell phone by the side of my bed so I messaged Kelli in the other room. Â “Did you hear that?” Â Hmm…I waited and waited. Â No response. Â Was she downstairs? Â I’ll wait just a bit more then I’ll check. Â What if it is a burglar. Â UGH!
Apparently I fell back to sleep…because that’s all I remembered until I came down in the morning and saw this….
It the night gravity was apparently really busy. Â This is the closet that is in my office. Â Hubby put shelves up in there. Â I had reorganized them the day before and I am guessing that in the night they for some reason shifted and fell.
That made me feel better…no burglar.
Kelli woke about a half hour after me asking what the text message was about. Â She slept through it all including the barking dogs in her room.
She’s a heavy sleeper and no bump in the night wakes her. Â I sure am glad to know it was just something simple.
I’m glad it wasn’t anything major or dangerous. Something like that happening in the middle of the night rattles me. A couple of weeks ago, I was startled awake by a loud pop like a balloon bursting. I wasn’t sure if it was real or if I had dreamed it. I went through the house and didn’t find anything amiss, but it took quite a while to get back to sleep.
