Conversations with myself

22

I’m not new to nite shifts. Sei used to work 7 nite shifts every month when he was a deputy in Utah. So, for 5 1/2 yrs I spent at least 1 week alone at nite. Alone = no husband, lots of sleeping kids. In fact, when the Olympics were in SLC he worked 28 straight nite shifts. That sucked. He was also in Texas for 2 weeks before we moved down, so I’ve done the nite shift thing. But it never fails- I have strange conversations with myself in my head. I know I may sound paranoid and freaked out, but really only 1 side of me is. The other side is practical and just wants to go to sleep.

 

 
 
Me: What if someone breaks in?
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: Yes I did.

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!!
