How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Have Hearing Like A Cat

in Uncategorized on

Okay, so I don’t want to get all scientificy on you, but according to my Hearing Specialist Doctor Man and his partner in the white coat, I have “hearing like a cat”.   Really, that is what they said! Apparently this is all kinds of good.

So, great news right?

Until…it’s midnight.

Your Hubby is still on his “work” vacay.

It is blustery and blowy outside.  It is truly winter in Canada.

You own a creaky old dog and a real live creature of the night, the sneaky kitty.

Now my super hearing skills are working against me.

Yes.  I got up because I had to investigate thump #1.  Dog knocked over the recycling bin.

I crept up to the window for crash #2.  Stupid garbage can blew over outside.

I double checked all the locks for the unidentified sound that we shall call kerthunk #3. 

Finally, back in my bed, I reassure myself that no bad guy would stand a chance against an hysterical Mama with the Power of Super Hearing and her trusty Louisville Slugger.  Newly liberated from beneath the lonely King Size bed. 

bat Eventually I must have drifted off for another restless night of sleep.

I am pathetic.

Only three more sleeps until the Hero Hubby gets home.  Sigh.  Then I can put in some ear plugs and take a nap.  Sleep is overrated anyway.

Don’t tell him I miss him.  K?

    5. Oh girl, be so grateful you have a hero hubby. I have woken my husband up on more than one occasion because I have heard a noise….only to have him groan and roll over, or tell me it is nothing and fall back asleep. I am the protector of my castle!

    9. Awww, that so sweet.

      Yes, a house at night is verrry creepy! That god for house alarms, I would never sleep otherwise.

      Sweet dreams!

    11. I so feel your pain hubs works in the ER so he is always doing shift work and many nights it is just me and our daughter. So for sometime I did not sleep I heard EVERYTHING and anything. Then I came to my senses and realized I enjoyed having a night, two or more without hubs and his snoring. I leave the t.v. and tune the world out- try it Good luck!

    12. Oh no, you need a sound machine, that is what we use. Of course I don’t usually use it when my husband is traveling so that would not have helped last night.
