Fun Fact: When you randomly wake up around 2-3 am there is an 80% chance someone is staring at you.
How many people will be shitting their pants tonight while trying to fall asleep? I wake up in the middle of the night almost every night, so whether this is true or not, I’m scarred. From now on, we’ll all be stuck waking up in a panic at 2 am. Peering around like lunatics
with our blankets clutched to our faces and fumbling to use our phones as flashlights. There are some good times ahead, guys.
Well, it’s December. My favorite month of the year. My husband has finally agreed to shave his beard, and later in the month we all get to come together and celebrate the birth of one kickass individual. We can sing songs. Eat cookies. Drink a lot of wine. Give some gifts. It’s a day for everyone to be joyful.
Obviously… I’m talking about myself. My birthday is next week. Go get your party hats ready. (I guess Jesus’s birthday and Christmas are pretty important parts of December, too.)
The Shameful Sheep 
Happy pre-birthday!
Thanks 🙂
I love this post! And I so agree with what you said in your other post about life being a shit storm and that you need to find humour wherever you can. I’ve turned madness and multiple addictions into humour, I actually think this is my purpose in life at the moment. http://bit.ly/1ER5cLY
It’s definitely a better way to channel your feelings/struggles. I haven’t had any addictions. But I’ve had plenty of mental struggles. Humor is the best way to process and look at things. Your blog is so interesting to read. I’ll probably be stalking it for awhile and reading!
Of course someone is watching you. It is probably one of the relatives of the many spiders that we apparently swallow while we are sleeping. Will that help you get to sleep tonight? 🙂 so when is the actual birthday?
No haha. Sleeping has always been one of my favorite things. Now I’m pretty sketched out. My birthday is the 9th 🙂
Mine as well, except it is in October.
Did you know that the witching hour is really between 3:00-4:00 AM? I can’t wake up between that time anymore and not wonder what evil creature is staring at me in the dark!! It doesn’t help that we are watching AHS Hotel right now!!!
No I didn’t know that. Jesus. I need to watch that. I haven’t even started the new one yet. Slacker
I literally keep almost all my curtains closed because I’m so afraid someone will be watching me at night and I can’t see them. Is this really true? Like, seriously? Not much scares me, but this kind of does! (With the exception of spiders. I can’t handle that shit.)
It’s supposedly real. But who knows. Oh man, I hope it isn’t. I’m surprised I haven’t traumatized you by now. Spiders. People watching you in your sleep. I’m going to scar you for life
Ha ha ha you so will. There was a time a wolf spider climbed into my bed at two in the morning and bit me. It was not only excruciatingly painful, but traumatising. Perhaps spiders watch you, too. Man, I am never going to sleep again!!! (I’m just kidding.)
Hope you have a great birthday
Thank you!
My birthday is also next week! So happy birthday to my fellow “my present is always wrapped in Christmas paper” baby!
Haha yessss! What day is yours?
Mine is the 8th
We are close! Mine is the 9th
Happy Birthday! My almost two-year-old will officially turn two this weekend!
Aw cute 🙂 Happy Birthday to your little one
Thank you!
Oh well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! next week Shameful! I wake up a lot :O( Us funny people never age past 12, so how old will you be next week? I’m 9, and always will be…
Thanks! I think I’m about 8. Makes sense… I have an immature sense of humor sometimes. I’m right on track lol.
LOL! That’s why I know we’ll be great friends… Wanna Lolly? I can swing way up high on a wooden swing, without pooping my pants even twice!
Haha nice. A lolly? That answer will always be YES. Mmmm
When you eat your lollies do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly? Or crunch them really fast? I know you love your lollies! So tell me when I ask… When you eat your lollies, do you eat the red ones last?
Yep, waking up 2-3 times during the night is nothing new for me. And I often find someone looking at me – my dog! He shares my night-time waking antics. Hope you have an amazing birthday.
Thanks! Hopefully it’s just the cat staring 🙂
This doesn’t surprise me as I’ve had peepers b4. That was 20 years ago tho. If someone still wants to peep in my windows. . I’ll take the compliment! 😃
I’m a January baby. Not that I’m celebrating my birthday anymore (I celebrate the anniversary of my 40th) but I’ve always felt I’ve got the shaft as no one wants to go out, has $$ to go out or is available to go out.
I wish you better luck and a happy day! 🎉
I actually don’t normally celebrate it either lol. This is the first time in quite awhile. Last time I went out was on my 21st! Eons ago. You’ve had peepers? That’s freaky as hell.
Happy birthday!
I’ll have a glass of wine “with” ya on your birthday! Ok, you just HAD to put that info about waking up in the night while I am in a hotel for a serious business meeting AND the Furries are just starting to show up for their convention. Are you kidding me? LOL! This will be interesting. I better make sure I close the curtains!
Haha furries! That’s hilarious. They are an interesting sort of people. You should buy a costume and go join them when you’re done with work. Could be fun. In a weird way, haha
I’ll have fun seeing them around. My hubby arrived this morning so we’ll have fun furry watching from the bar. LOL!
It will make for a fun people-watching session haha
Reblogged this on wwwpalfitness.
Ha-Larious ending!
Hey, what about my birthday that was November 29? 🙂
Ahh! Happy belated birthday 🙂 Hope it was a good one
My daughter has a habit of leaning over me when I`m asleep, with her long dark hair hanging over her face – just like that creepy arse girl in “The Ring” I`ve nearly decked her a few times in fright 🙂
Happy birthday xx
Haha holy crap. That would scare the hell out of me. Does she do it on purpose to scare you? Or is she sleep-waking?
She used to sleepwalk frequently but I think this behaviour is purely because she wants to get in my bed, she knows not to wake me, so she feels if she stands there long enough I will just move over and let her in 🙂
That’s not creepy or anything 🙂 lol
Seriously she is a very strange child – lovely but strange 😁 she freaks out her older brothers with her night ramblings about things she can see and hear 😄😄
happy b day I hope it is a great one
Thanks 🙂
Gee, thanks for the fun fact… I wake up at 4 a.m. every morning and can’t get back to sleep, I wonder what’s happening then? Wait, don’t tell me. LOL
I’ll dust off my birthday hat so it’s to go but just in case I don’t catch your post, Happy Birthday!
Thank you! Oh jeez, make sure you keep your curtains closed and your doors/windows locked 🙂
Happy Birthday (soon)! Incidentally, if I wake up in the early hours, it’s not usually because I’m being stared at. Most often it’s because my wife has stole the duvet… again!
Many Many happy returns of the day…In advance…:-)
That Santa IS scary! Happy Birthday, a lil bit early!
Lol thank you! 🙂
Hmmm…..happy birthday in advance.
Thank you!
Nothing sheepish about your site, will follow … thanks for following mine too.
LOL! Well happy early birthday. Make sure you post when it’s your birthday and Jesus’ too.
I will! Thanks 🙂
I’m a December baby too except my birthday is so close to Christmas it gets blurred! Have a very happy birthday and raise a glass for the both of us xx
Oh that’s not fun. I’ll raise a glass or 3 for us! 🙂
Happy birthday – and look around closely when you wake at 3 a.m.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Thank you 🙂
Just in regards to this – I wake up and find some one ( spirit) staring at me. It’s scary shit, and I pretend it’s all imagination. But my dad says its spirits passing through the night. He sees them all the time as they pass through. Scary, but I’ve got to believe him. Well I don’t got to, but I like to. Phantoms of the night. I do prefer the more humorous one, of all the relatives of the spider you have just swallowed. Oh Happy Birthday.
Holy crap, that’s scary. I don’t think I’d be able to handle that lol. I’ve never heard of the spider one – that’s awesome. Not the spider eating…. But, yeah 🙂
Ohmigosh that happens to me sometimes, but it’s good to know it’s just spirits passing though…even though it *would* be nice if they didn’t use my bedroom as their thruway.
I got a pretty decent ghost story if you peeps wanna read it.
OK, so about these spiders. One time I woke up in very early morning and this spider was just perched on my nightable, on a book no less! Just sitting there, she might as well have had an umbrella and sunscreen, comfortable as all get out…and **staring** right at me. Creepy deepy. I never knew spiders’ eyes could be so big. Ever since then I’ve been trying to tell myself it’s better than my friend’s experience of waking to a mouse stuck in her hair trying to get out. **Shudders**
Yeah have you blogged your ghost story? I would be interested, just out of curiosity. Lol just as long as it doesn’t scare me too much.
I have 🙂 Here’s the link, though my caveat is that it’s queued up for some re-writing. Hope you enjoy!

I’m curious about your ghost story, too. 🙂 Spiders are creepy as hell,but having a mouse stuck in your hair must be absolutely terrifying. And disgusting. Holy crap. I can’t even imagine lol
LOL, omg I know, I couldn’t stop being grossed out for weeks after she told me that story. 😛 I added the link for the ghost story down at Majella’s comment. Hope you like it! 😀
I’m gonna check it out 🙂 Thanks!
I am also a December baby. I like having my birthday right toward the end of the year. I get to look for forward to it throughout the year rather than have it happen and wonder where it went already.
Haha that’s a good point. I like when my birthday is. Just another fun thing added to the holiday season
I think December people should rule the world.
Can’t argue with that !
