At 3 a.m. this morning, I awoke with the urgent need to relieve my poor squished bladder.
I tiptoed my way to the bathroom because usually Cosmo is lying right at my feet or in front of the bathroom door (why? When he knows I get up multiple times in the night?). There I was, relieving said bladder, when a moth the size of a bird dive-bombed my head.
You can imagine how I reacted.
Swiftly, I finished what I had set out to the bathroom to accomplish and in a dazed and half-asleep state, tried to squash the ginormous bug. I failed.
So I quickly left the bathroom, shutting the door behind me to keep the creature contained, and waddled over to Lane's side of the bed.
I stood there, very timidly (for I have a husband who abhors being woken up), and gently shook Lane awake.
He opened his eyes very calmly and did not utter a word of reproach at me.
"Excellent," I thought. "I won't be getting in trouble after all." Of course, when I told him of the mythically large beast in our bathroom, he got a little flustered with me. (Lane interjection here: "It was a 1/2 inch moth.")
Of course, he slayed my dragon and we both drifted back to sleep.
I thought nothing more of the incident until Lane, Jane and I sat at dinner tonight.
"From now on, you're not allowed to wake me up in the middle of the night just to kill a moth," Lane said.
"I know, I'm sorry. But it was really big," I protested.
"I literally thought you had gone into labor," he finished.
Oops. There's a scenario that never crossed my mind.

That was really funny!
That is so funny! I would not have thought about the labor thing either.....I really have a one track mind sometimes! And yes, I had Rich kill the scorpion. :o)
You certainly maintain your sense of humor as this pregnancy begins to near its end. . .and you do have an enormous imagination with your mythical large beast.. . .keep that Lane humble and ever ready.
Lorin always had the solution, he sleeps with his good ear down (he only has minimal hearing in one) so with good ear down, he hears NOTHING. So much for the crying children, speaking wife and house burning down!!!!!
HILARIOUS!!! That is so funny!
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I figured everyone had given up on me. LOL Clearly it's been a crazy few months in Jenn's life. hahaha
Good luck with the impending delivery! So exciting!! Can't wait for the details!
Miss you!!
Jenn
PS ... Did you hear that Kevin Jenkins just got married? Incredible!
If Lane thinks waking for a moth is bad...I wake Tyler over every little creak and even just to double check in the middle of the night that he locked up the house. I'm too lazy to get out of bed myself, so he gets awakened for every little paranoid thought that may cross my mind. Lane should count himself lucky.
LOL. WOW. He sounds as cranky as Trev when you wake him. Thankfully they are good boys when they are awake. Half asleep is a whole nother story!
