Hard to describe what it sounded like but let's just say, it sounded like someone was breaking down the door. <br /><br />The babies were just newborns. We were sleep-deprived. Hubby grabs our "protection" and we both creep down the stairs, ready to blast our intruders if that's what it takes to save us and the twins!<br /><br />Imagine how stupid we felt when we found the culprit...a helium "Congrats" balloon that had gotten loose and was caught in the ceiling fan!

I can't imagine the feeling of thinking someone is in your home. <br /><br />I have had nights where I wake up from unpleasant dreams and falling back to sleep generally is not an option at that point.

After my 3rd child came along I was way too tired and cranky to worry about bumps in the night. At times I seemed scarier than any burgler could ever be.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330053801725874293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62997385054965490.post-72368166301417093992012-01-13T00:13:06.811-05:002012-01-13T00:13:06.811-05:00I'm also creeped out just reading this!

But one night I was home alone (my kids were sleeping) and I had the worst feeling! I'd never had anything like it before. I double checked all the doors and windows, turned on my lights and kept my mom on the phone for a while. The feeling eventually went away. That was a couple of year ago. Nothing like it since, thankfully.Grumpy Grateful Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280877945184331361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62997385054965490.post-15497542515623864982012-01-12T23:45:18.217-05:002012-01-12T23:45:18.217-05:00I was startled just reading that!

Thank goodness nothing ever came of it.<br /><br />My mom tells a story of when I was little she was giving me a bath in the upstairs bathroom, when we came out there was a stange guy in our living room. My mom froze, I do not remember this story, but that incident startled her...to say the least. He ended up leaving and she called the police.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383389175383018119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62997385054965490.post-13410841733897844982012-01-12T22:45:51.249-05:002012-01-12T22:45:51.249-05:00Gosh Kristen.

The other night I was startled awake from a dream, and I could have sworn that I saw someone walking into the master bath. Freaked me out. It took me days to convince myself that it was a just a trick of light from the bathroom window.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666910475457302786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62997385054965490.post-71457098775660467712012-01-12T18:16:32.889-05:002012-01-12T18:16:32.889-05:00Ugh!

My husband was a principal of a Jr. High and those kids are a little rude. We've been egged, tomatoed, soaped and toilet papered. But luckily no real malicious vandalism. But it is startling to hear things hitting the house in the middle of the night. <a href="http://ladygaladrielkj.blogspot.com/2012/01/wednesday-writings-is-that-so.html" rel="nofollow"> kaye—the road goes ever ever on </a>kayerjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479123027080062607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62997385054965490.post-51508890480388018642012-01-12T09:26:51.271-05:002012-01-12T09:26:51.271-05:00Yes!
