  Oh Mimi- I got sumpin for ewe!  *Pulls back on the sling shot and shoots a raw steak at mimi.  It lands on her head like a hat*  *I am rolling on the floor laughing so hard, I pee myself.  Ok that was gross, I have to go change my depends.
  Mimi don't be scared, why are you alone?  Whatever you do don't watch any Alfred Hitchcock.  Hugs!

  I'm the same way, MissM.  When my husband is in the hospital I sleep downstairs on the couch with the tv and all the lights on and the phone on the coffee table.  It wasn't too bad when a cop lived next door but he went to Iraq and an elderly couple moved in.
  I don't sleep...I doze off and on until the sun comes up and then I fall into a deep sleep.  Then it's time to get up for work.   By the time he comes home I'm ready to go in the hospital!

  used to be scared of sleeping alone. but then reality is much more scarier than my own paranoia. hope you sleep well mimikins...

• sweetsoul said on Feb 01, 2009....

  Well it's 7 hours later so hopefully you got some sleep Mimi.
   
  I used to get that way when I lived in an old house and the kids were away at their Dad's for the weekend. I used to make sure the raido was on. Kept me from hearing all those house noises.
   
   
  uuummmm Mimi we could ask your Mom to come stay with you.....giggles devilishly.

  Popping in to say hi...I know the feeling of being scared at night alone sometimes.  I'm not usually afraid, but then I will sometimes here an unfamiliar noise and my imagination kicks in all of a sudden.  But I am one of those nutty people who just turn on the porch light, go outside and look.  Glad you will have company tonight.  I bet in a day or two you will start to enjoy the peace and quiet of being alone. 

• cntlvmenuf said on Feb 01, 2009....

  Hope you had a goodnight. I'm that way also. I've been living by myself for close to 3 years now but two of those were in an apartment so I never felt alone...when I moved into my house all by sorry self however was a different story. The house settling, I've trees in my backyard and branches fall on the shed and I almost peeid on myself!
  
  It gets better with time...right when you start getting used to it your hubby will be back. Its so hard those first few days...I went to work looking like a wreck!
  

• quietone said on Feb 01, 2009....

  Well I imagine your daughter is there with you now and you made it through the scary night!  LOL  I am alone every night and day! Its okay, you got a cast Iron frying pan??

• PieterOpie said on Feb 01, 2009....

  You are right to be afraid Mini-Me....  I don't think your crazy at all despite what the others are saying.  Most crimes and murders and maimings and accidents and all kinds of blood curdling horrors occur right in the comfort of your own home.  Everybody knows that.
  My god Minimini, you don't have to do a damn thing and you can die right there on the spot - JUST LIKE THAT!!!!   OOOOOW.... it's frightening!!!!  So if you're worried and freaking out and extremely tense then I would not be the least bit surprised.
  
  Did you know when we are afraid we exude fear hormones that flood the air and alert wild animals and crazy criminal types?  Oh sure... it is a scientific fact.  Some people subconsciously smell this fear hormone and react without even realising it.  Just a couple of molecules in the air is enough to seal one's fate.  So try not be afraid. 
  
  oh... wait.....  well, I'm sure it isn't your kind of fear I'm talking about.  Besides if you keep all the windows closed those billions of fear molecules can't get out - right? 
  
  About the lights....  if a maniac were to break in then with all those lights on he is going to find you - like straight away Mississippimmi.   Did you consider that?  In the dark he'll have to find you before shooting you.... or stabbing you....  or choking......  smothering.....  strangeling......  disemboweling.....
  
  Yes, well.  I'd hide in a toilet with the light off and the door locked if I were you. 
  
  Okay.... so tell me Misisismimniinnnsnnsiiiimi, do you believe in ghosts?
  

• Hegemone said on Feb 01, 2009....

  Ha, Mimi, I know completely how you feel.  Although I rarely have to spend a night alone anymore (either my dad or my husband is home at least).  I do the same thing though if I do have to be home alone when it's dark ... lights are on all over.  I have the same problem if I have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.  I always risk waking my dad up via turning the hall light on.  I'd rather get yelled at then get GOT, you know?  Lol.  It's stupid, but I especially know where my tendencies come from ... I stupidly watched Darkness Falls a few years back ... spooky shit about the tooth fairy and the dark, WHO would make a scary movie about the tooth fairy?!  Ever since then I panic if I'm in a completely dark area ... and yes, at the times when I don't turn a light on and it's completely dark, I start out walking from point A, but by the time I'm a quarter of the way to point B, I'm picking up the pace and have RUN to point B.  I'm sure you'll be fine though, but I understand.  I usually do shit to distract me ... like come on here, read (but NOT a scary book, lol), or especially watch a funny movie.  Good luck!

• rmuxagirl said on Feb 04, 2009....

  I am the same way Mimi. I get so terrified when I am by myself that I have all the lights on and wonder what kind of damage my "guard cat" can do when she is curled up sleeping on my bed.

• Starfish said on Feb 05, 2009....

  I guess you just have to deal with that fear and understand it better. Good luck Mimi.
