Fright Night

Alright, so it was mere hours ago that I posted the whole "I don't have time for this" blog, and here I am again. I'm babysitting for a family from our school (ie: they're RICH) and it's been pretty fun. I'll be here all weekend, and I'm cool with that. He's a doctor and they have a nice big three level house overlooking what I think is Tryon Creek State Park. Tons of windows, beautiful view, etc. Currently the kids are asleep, it's dark, it's pouring rain plus thunder and lightning. Now, usually I love these kinds of storms. It smells heavenly, the temperature is just right, and it really is beautiful. But in this huge foreign house with so many windows next to the woods... I'm hearing coyotes howling and I'm having freak flashbacks to all those horrible scary movies I used to love watching.
I'm scared. Yep, I'll admit it. I'm a frightened babysitter.
It's so eerily quiet in here it's like I can hear each and every raindrop hit the floor.
Help me!

If the phone rings, check the caller ID to see if they are calling from inside the house. AAGGHHH!

* I only say such an seemingly insensitive thing b/c it is the next day & the storm has passed. :-)

I'm glad you keep blogging. Your personality really comes through in your blogs and they make me laugh. Don't be scared, but don't turn the lights off either!
