Whew, that feels good to get that off my chest! But it is true, I do sleep with a night light. However, I can somewhat justify my actions. I only sleep with one when Eric is gone. That is the only time I feel like I can't sleep alone in the dark! When Eric is gone I can't survive the nights without lights. (yes I meant for that to rhyme)! At about 6:00 every night I go through my tiny house and I turn on my living room light, the hallway light, the bathroom light, and the bedroom light. I do NOT want to go into a dark room because there could be a murderer in there!
When it is time for bed I shut the lights off on my way to the bathroom. Quick side note about the bathroom... I HATE it at night. When I am washing my face I usually reach out behind me with my foot just to make sure no one is standing right behind me. I also can't shower at night anymore because I have convinced myself that when I finish showering a killer will hand me my towel. I was so convinced about this one time that I showered with a butcher knife. No Joke!
Okay back to the night light. As soon as I am finished in the bathroom I turn off the light and quickly dash around the corner into my bedroom. I always make sure to look back down the hall before I close the door just to make sure no one has snuck in while I was washing my face! Then I shut the door and plug in my night light. After I turn off the light I make a flying leap from my door to my bed so that nothing underneath my bed can reach out and grab my leg! I then get under the blankets and reach over onto my nightstand to make sure I know exactly where Eric's pistol is and where my HUGE butcher knife is!
The reason I sleep with a night light is so I can see my attacker that I am sure will get me one of these nights! I want to be able to see them so I can put up a fight! I would rather be able to see someone in my bedroom then have them sneak up on me without warning. It is a good thing I have a gun and knife right next to me becuase if someone does break in, they may get the best of me in the end but I will put up one hell of a fight first!
Okay so that is the reason I sleep with a night light. Yes, I know I am a little old for a night light but frankly I don't care! I LOVE my night light! So until I post again, I hope everyone (even though I am pretty sure no one reads this blog anymore) will consider sleeping with a night light :)
P.S. I have a funny story I plan to blog about soon...Just as soon as I stop being lazy and I upload some pictures!
