A Haunted Blogiversary
Yesterday was my blogiversary. 4 years blogging. I was going to do a whole elaborate post with some highlights of previous posts but 2 things stopped me from doing that.
1. I’ll save that for my 5 year blogiversary. So next year.
2. My house is haunted.
Now, I’ve thought this before in passing years. But never really had like solid proof. And then for a long time I heard nothing and figured everything was cool. Well, last night at the nice hour of 3:30 am on the dot which some of us know as the witching hour…I’m not a witch obviously but I watch a lot of documentaries and horror movies and I know that 3 am is the witching hour…..anyway, at 3:30 am out of freaking nowhere our computer turns on. We have our computer in our bedroom and it just turned on. Log in screen and all. Hubs and I both opened our eyes at the same time and just stared at eachother and then slowly looked at the computer. No one was there. I was half expecting to hear typing and letters showing up on the screen telling us to get out or some crazy Hollywood crap like that. But none of that happened. Just turned on and did nothing. So Hubs got up and turned it off. For the next 45 minutes I laid in bed freaked out. Tossed and turned. Couldn’t go back to sleep. Both the girls were at Hubs’ mom’s house so I was really pissed that I wasn’t getting a good night’s sleep with the kids gone. And I was scared because you know, there was a ghost there.
Eventually I fell asleep and woke up to my alarm.
THEN as I’m doing my makeup and hair I hear this loud scream/squeal kind of noise. It was loud enough that it made me jump. I yelled for Hubs “DID YOU HEAR THAT?!” and he comes in and says he did and it woke him up.
Now, as a Christian, I started to pray. Started to pray for protection and strength and clarity. I felt a bit relieved but I’ll tell you what—sleeping tonight is going to be VERY hard for me. I’m way paranoid now. I can’t explain any of it. I’m just so freaked out and literally very very scared.
Happy Blogiversary to me!
We almost died
Insert scary music here
so as promised my pic which i totally believe is some kinda ghost or something. this was taken when i was in canada earlier this year. we were in a club that allowed NO smoking and there was NO fog machines or anything. and NONE of the other pics we took had this strange smokey look….
i joked when i uploaded it that it was a ghost but what if it really was?!!?!!?
Scary stuff
i’ve been watching this stuff over in the middle east alot this weekend. its so scary! i think i will watch fox news all day like i do whenever any big news thing goes on. thats the one channel we have on our intranet available to watch all day. Hubs insists that this is the beginning of WWIII. which scares the hell outta me. i was talking to my sis in law yesterday about it and we both agreed that we wanna raise our kids and have more and not have to worry about a world war. but i just dont know anymore. i think Hubs may be right.
God help me
because right now he HATES me. last nite me and Hubs were searching for our tax stuff from last year for the majority of our evening WHICH by the way we didn’t find it. but on our hunt we’re digging through drawers in our kitchen where we thought we put the papers. and Hubs stops and says “hey wow. look at that. that thing is huge” and i knew right away what he was talking about but i was in denial. and thinking GOD PLEASE let me look in there and like see a big paperclip or a big PIECE OF SHIT…ANYTHING other than what i DID see. yes. you got it. A HUGE MONSTROUS DISGUSTING ROACH…and immediately i start hyperventilating (ok not really) and i had a glass of juice in my hand and i had to set that down because i was going into panic mode. and always when i see a roach the same words come out of my mouth “KILL IT. RIGHT NOW! WHERES THE SPRAY???” and Hubs knows the panic and he’s such a good husband because he knows the urgency in the slaughter of all roaches in my house. well, the damn thing hides under papers in there and Hubs looks at me and says calmly “well i gotta go to work so its just gonna have to stay in there” and the look i gave back was one that someone probably would give after hearing that someone was gonna kill their dog or something…and i said “NO! I can’t sleep tonite knowing that thing is in this house alive. KILL IT!” so i grab the spray, he corners it in the drawer and sprays the sucker. team work at its finest. so then he closes the drawer and i give him that look once again. “uh, you do know you need to take that out of there and flush it down the toilet” and he finally stood his ground and told me “i’m late. i’m leaving. he’ll die in there” and kissed me and left. LEFT ME WITH THE TWITCHING roach in the drawer in my kitchen which is otherwise a safe haven for me. not happening. so people, a moment in history was made yesterday. I disposed of the roach myself. i considered this therapy. not that i ever EVER will be OK with the roaches but someone had to do it and Hubs was gone and it was just me at home so i had to do it myself. so i grabbed tongs (lol) and pulled it out and i was about to do the water death thing and i decided why not take a picture for the readers????

so there he is. i put a pen by him to show the size of the bastard. take a pen, lay it out and notice how far up the pen that thing goes. FREAKIN HUGE. seriously the biggest FATTEST roach w/o wings i’ve ever seen. and i want you all who DONT live in the south to see what we have to deal with. i will never ever get used to seeing roaches. or killing them. or disposing of them. or anything that has to do with them. it’s even amazing that i was able to take the picture and YES post it on my blog. thats a BIG thing for me. but i went beyond that even. i took video with my camera. so if you’re really gross or are like me and just like the torture of roaches, you can watch the video here. i like to make sure they have slow tortured deaths. and after i took this video i used the tongs again, thew it in the garbage disposal and finally killed the sucker. that was my nite. the end.
