I'm Skeered!!

Call me a chicken, but I am scared of lots of things! I don't care, go right ahead and I'll just say "cluck" "cluck".

Yes, I am here today to unveil to you everything, or for the most part, a few of the things, that I am afraid of.

COCKROACHES: Oh. My. God. I would rather face a pack of wolves than a roach. As a child, I could not sleep at night, so afraid that the big bad roach was going to come out of nowhere and get me. My mom used to say that we (my sister, who also shares this phobia with me) would probably not be as afraid of a huge gorilla about to attack. She was probably correct. Those things fly! And they are nasty! And just the sheer thought of them makes me want to gag. Plus, they never die!!! You have to beat the guts out of them (literally) to kill them! Needless to say, I spray my house profusely to keep those things outta here!

MICE: I swear to you, I ain't lyin'.....there was a mouse in this house when my oldest was a baby (not quite a year old). I slept at a nearby hotel until the critter was caught. Thank goodness we haven't seen one since because it's not easy explaining to the hotel clerk that your address is just down the road and you won't sleep there because a critter is lurking.

HEIGHTS: Who is NOT afraid of this? I am ok once I get 'there' but going up and coming down scares the you know what outta me! I can not fathom how people (my children included) can stand the feeling of falling. Those amusement park rides that take you up and then literally throw you downward into a speeding spiral to your near death are just not for me, thanks anyway, I'll watch from the sidelines.

AUTO ACCIDENTS: Again, I believe that this is just paranoia on my part, but I can't get over the fact that having my body slammed into at 70 plus miles per hour with metal and steel would feel very good. That is the reason, dear boyfriend of mine, (who is not reading this)that I suck in my breath and cringe at the slightest weave in the road. Whether it is by you or the other maniac drivers on the road. * I know he's not here to defend himself, but he knows I've called him that and he just laughs, so it's all good*

SOMETHING HAPPENING TO MY CHILDREN: All mothers fear this and when I mean 'something' that goes for anything. I cannot even imagine my kids being hurt, kidnapped, critically ill....the list goes on. Don't even wanna think about it.

VARIOUS CRITTERS: Not only roaches, mice and things of that sort. I hate snakes, bugs of any kind, if they fly, I'm outta here. Things that get around quicker than me or that can hide and decide to show themselves at inopportune moments, causing me to want to wet my pants or scream.....they gotta go!

Ok, so the 'fraidy cat has spoken.........how 'bout you??
