Things that go bump in the night!

I will be the first to admit and leave when it comes to scary things. This world is bad enough in reality without making things even more scary!! So when it comes to scary movies or television shows I will walk out without a second thought or in the blink of an eye. Anyone who knows me very well knows this about me. I happily admit this!!

So as our high school drama department is putting on the fall "show" Waling Dead" I have absolutely no desire to see it, nor babysit kids who are watching it, or waste my time going to it (I know, that's kind of harsh but it's how I feel!). So when my principal came to me asking if I was going to the production before he could finish his question I was shaking my head "NO!". Then he asked if I would stay with any students who's parents were not letting them attend and I replied "absolutely!". Me and the rest of my chicken friends will hang out in the library, happily! We are safe from the zombies and the sun is shining and things are happy and cheery!!

I blame my "fear" of the unknown and scary things on my older siblings. Apparently is is a tried and true rule that you scare your youngest siblings-thanks a lot you guys. And yet I don't see myself as a chicken! I was willing to go out looking for a missing 10-year old in the early morning hours a couple of weeks ago which involved walking through back yards, looking in drainage pipes to find that child in the dark. No second thoughts about something coming out or after me, I was in mom mode and I would have kick the a$$ (to the best of my abilities) of anything that came out at me or after me-if this had happened. Or I would have taken off running like a girl, which I am!

I guess it all boils down to I don't like to be scared. And there are a lot of bad things going on in the world right now. And I know this stuff is not real but I sure don't want to spend my relaxed leisure time dealing with this garbage.

So I will hang out and miss the "production" and listen to people's take and opinion of it afterwards. I hope it is a success, but I'm not gonna see it. Not my thing. IF one of my kids would be in it, I would be brave, but they are not and I'm good with staying in the dark...so to speak!!

Positive thought of the day: I'd rather believe in angels than zombies. After all I've got two special angels in heaven looking after me every day!
