Having a baby has messed up my mind!!!

DH is away this week in CA and it is just me and Chelsea. So we are just sitting on the couch watching TV. One of those 48 hour Mysteries about a family whose 5 month old daughter was kidnapped while they were sleeping.

Then all of a sudden THE POWER GOES OUT. Can I tell you how I panicked!!!! My first though was OMG someone broke into my house and cut the power. Crazy I know! I seriously was paralyzed with fear. Then I grabbed the baby and ran for my cell phone...to do what I have no idea

I think total is was out for 1 minute and in the time I was shaking with fear. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

Now I wonder what I would have done if it didn't come back on? I probably would have grabbed my keys and drove to my parent's house. I have some serious issues

Re: Having a baby has messed up my mind!!!

i would have probably been doing the same thing!!! watching something on tv and then something similar to what has happened in the show/movie happening in real life scares the crap outta me!!!

glad the hydro came back on!!!

Re: Having a baby has messed up my mind!!!

You are just like me. I am a freak when DH is not here at night. Even before I had DS. To make matters worse, I love watching true crime stories on TV, and reading those books too.

My Mom says no wonder I get scared. If the power went off here and I was alone- I would go to someone's house. DOn't feel bad!!!

Re: Having a baby has messed up my mind!!!

I would have been freaked too. Since having DS 2 years ago I can not watch Criminal mids at all and any SVU or CSI show that involves anything with children.

Re: Having a baby has messed up my mind!!!

So true!!!!
DH has been sleeping at the new house this week & so its me & DS.

Unfortunately, Im Obsessed with scary movies...so I torture myself by watching them alone & then freaking out ALL night. And Im supposto protect DS??? I leave EVERY light on in the living room & kitchen...Holy Electric bill!!!
