I'm slightly frustrated. I put the girls to bed an hour ago, and now, at 10:40, I am still telling them to be quiet and go to sleep. They are both wide awake. So, my solution was to turn off the night light. They got quiet really quick. Tonight they aired a special on a triple murder and kidnapping that happened in the area last November. All the fear that I had overcome from it came right back. I had to go out to my car tonight to get something, and I was so afraid that someone was going to come from nowhere and take me away. That's what most women in the area felt in the weeks and months after the murders. I have a feeling that the horrible nights of waking up fearing someone is inside my apartment will start again. I had nights for months where I would wake up searching my room or house for an intruder. My heart would be racing. One night I even woke up believing I saw someone standing outside my bedroom window. It's a second story window with nothing to stan
A little humor, a little drama, and a lot of life.
