Conversations with myself
Me: Why would someone break in?
Me: Because Sei’s not here.
Me: Sei’s worked nites before. Why would someone break in tonite? No one knows he’s not here.
Me: There’s only 1 car in the driveway.
Me: The other car could be in the garage.
Me: That’s true. I didn’t think of that.
Me: What if someone breaks in?
Me: The alarm is on. ADT would call the cops.
Me: Does the alarm work if someone breaks thru a window.
Me: …?
Me: Well???
Me: I’m not sure. I’ll have to check. But I’m pretty sure I’d hear a window break and then if the alarm didn’t go off I could set it off with my keychain. And I can dial 9-1-1 on my cell phone with it still hidden under my pillow. I got mad sightless dialing skillz.
Me: Good thinking.
Me: What was that??
Me: Livie dropped a book out of her crib right above us me.
Me: Why does she sleep with so many books?
Me: I don’t know.
Me: I don’t wanna turn off the tv.
Me: If I don’t turn it off I won’t go to sleep.
Me: It’s too quiet with the tv off.
Me: I’ll turn on the fan. It makes noise.
Me: Good thinking. Oh, but wait- will I be able to hear the window if someone breaks in?
Me: Ugh. I am so tired. I should have taken that sleeping pill. Please shoot me.
Me: DON’T SAY THAT!!

ROFL!!!! I feel your pain because I hate it when my husband is gone at night. I’m really sorry! Maybe you could give the sleeping pill to your other self so she would leave you alone.
I LOVE AMANDA’S IDEA!!! I’m glad I’m home so no one will be making fun of me sitting here laughing all alone. (no, not at you, at Amanda’s comment ; )
I remember my older kids wanting to spend the night at a friends when Allan would be out of town–this was during our first few years of marriage. I would tell them I was worried someone would break in. They would ask–”How are they going to know Dad’s not home tonight?” I always thought–Oh, they’ll know!!!
(Of course, as if they’d ever protect me ; )
I still sleep with a big flashlight under my bed!!!
Me: Tori, quit being such a fraidy cat.
Me: That’s true. I didn’t think of that.
Me: Yes I did.
Duh! of course you did.
I think we were separated at birth!
Me, you and you, of course. We were triplets. Actually, it must have been me, me, you and you. We were quadruplets! ?
Your conversation with yourself entertains me greatly. I’m glad I’m not the only one who does that when I’m all alone at night.
Oh my gosh, THAT was a good laugh. Thanks Tori. And Tori.
The last lines of each of those conversations made me laugh out loud big time. I’m not sure which Me said, it—but she’s funny.
“Yes I did”
“Good thinking”
Yeah, that’s awesome.
I couldn’t sleep last night so I stayed up and read The Host. Perhaps you should go buy it so you can do something fun and productive when you can’t sleep.
Not that you aren’t being productive.
Do like my grandma use to do, she slept with a machete under her matress, no one dared mess with her or you should read the Host, you have something in common with the main character
Have you read ‘The Host’? Sounds like you just might be “hosting” a “soul” from another world
All that talking to yourself.
This was a great post, your a goof.
Dang, has everybody but me read The Host? I was supposed to get it for Mother’s Day.
Still waiting….
“I got mad sightless dialing skillz.”
LOL! Tori, can we be friends forever?
lol. but i completely understand. and my husband is rarely gone. i still have thoughts and conversations like that in my head. this post is another reason why i love your blog!
“Don’t do that!” I agree put the gun down!!! I actually am like that all day. LOL My extra voice is more a taunter then yours! NUTELLA with white bread sounds good doesn’t it!
My hub doesn’t work nights, but when he’s out of town…I CAN TOTALLY RELATE! :0
Hilarious! I’d hate to be alone at night. Those are the exact things myself and I would talk to one another about.
oh geez. One Tori was enough… you mean there is TWO of you?
Oh BOY do I know how you feel!!! Before I was on overnights with my hubby, I would stay up as late as my body could handle it, and then I’d lay in bed afraid, but I never got robbed
Man oh Man, Tori – you CRACK me up! I have conversations like that ALL of the time…I HATE being alone.
Hi Tori – I found your blog through a few others who I read and loved it! Check mine out too..and I would love to pop by more often
