Irrational Fears

Holy cow ...

Did you get a chance to see the lightening tonight? 

It was amazing.

Amazingly scary.

The lightening freaked me out tonight.

I've watched too many scary movies (see previous post), watched too many ghost shows, and have let my imagination run wild tonight.

My senses are on overload. 

Every creek of the house freaks me out. Every time Cooper looks out the window, I think I'm gonna see a scary face looking in at me. When I smelled smoke outside, I was sure my house was on fire somewhere (fire is actually a legitimate fear for me that I can share some other time).

I need to stop this senseless worrying ... but I just can't help it.

I'm a scaredy-cat tonight.

At what age do we lose the innocence of our youth ... and start worrying?

P.S. For those of you in my neighborhood who are lighting your fireworks off early tonight ... you're not helping with my fears. At all!
