Speaking of Texting

Like I had said, there are those times when it comes in handy. Consider this-
A couple of nights ago I was woken up by my phone going off around midnight. I was receiving a text that said this; “I’m scared”. I keep the phone next to the bed so I can dial 911 if a crazed, mad-man breaks into the house while we’re sleeping. But instead of having to summon police, I was being asked if I could share my bed. Apparently one of my older kiddos has been reading Dracula and was afraid that a hungry vampire was lurking in the corners of their room.
So, I wrote back, “come sleep with me”. I threw a garland of garlic around each of our necks and we slept peacefully for the rest of the night.
Have a great day~

Now that is cute in a very modern way! Dracula is scary! I didn’t read it til I was 18. And at that time I was living in a basement apartment of a friend’s house that had no windows and was pitch black when you turned the light out. Needless to say I slept with the light on for a while.

I agree here too, sometimes it is handy. Especially when things like this happen! So sweet. I love how your kids have maintained so much innocence in todays society.
Thanks for being a really beautiful mom!
I LOVE YOU xoxoxo

That is cute; I especially like the garlic! When I was scared from watching a horror movie or something stupid, I would sneak into my mom’s room and sleep on her floor! I can’t tell you how many times I did that. She didn’t let me sleep with her because apparently I kicked a lot in my sleep! I’m still a scaredy cat. Before Clint & I got married I lived on a ground floor apt. facing the street. I’d hear noises at night and call Clint on the phone at 2 AM and ask him to come over and sleep on the couch. Being the amazing man that he is, he would do it too.

Reading this again I remembered the time in your last house in Chula Vista when you and I watched Beloved. The minute the girl started speaking we moved closer together and I asked if I could sleep with you that night. Now THAT was creepy! OH I can hear that voice! It gives me chills to this day!
