I think I would hold it until morning if the need arose.<BR/><BR/>And I relate to the staying up. I've done that at some alone times in my life. If I'm so tired I fall asleep when my head hits the pillow, then I'm not afraid of anything!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-84268237706523621912008-08-11T11:15:00.000-04:002008-08-11T11:15:00.000-04:00I don't think I was afraid of the dark but my ...I don't think I was afraid of the dark but my brother was & as I had to share a bedroom with him until I was 8, I was often kept awake by his crying.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-49495050732683534902008-08-11T09:29:00.000-04:002008-08-11T09:29:00.000-04:00We lived in a fairly isolated area for a few years...We lived in a fairly isolated area for a few years when I was a child and I remember being afraid if I could see the moon.

I'm trying to catch up on all my favorite blogs since I've been gone a few days. Don't know if you are aware but your feed is still not updating in my reader.

You've written it well and I felt as if I was right there with you throughout the entire story.<BR/><BR/>I grew up in the country and it was always pitch black unless the moon was shining bright - no street lamps to help light the way. Yet my brother and I were always outside at night, playing games or running through the fields trying to catch fireflies. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed my visit. Things are still a bit hectic here, but "this too shall pass," as Grandma used to say.<BR/><BR/>Take care and have a great week.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-26049460644074799312008-08-10T23:02:00.000-04:002008-08-10T23:02:00.000-04:00It's good to know that I'm not the only one who's ...It's good to know that I'm not the only one who's taken the running leap on and off of the bed as a child. Our neighbourhood was also treated to my singing whenever I walked home in the dark. Even to this day, I get nervous when going into a dark basement or walking alone at night. <BR/><BR/>Also,<BR/>I wanted to stop by and tell you that you've been tagged! (sorry if you hate memes)<BR/>The rules are pretty simple:<BR/>1. Write 7 interesting or random facts about yourself.<BR/>2. Tag 7 people you want to learn more about.<BR/>3. Post a comment on their blogs to let them know.<BR/><BR/>Have fun!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17991977217122899608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-60290223088158290752008-08-10T18:15:00.000-04:002008-08-10T18:15:00.000-04:00I did the run and jump thing, too!

I could identify with so much of what you said.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the idea of being separated from the adults who took care of things by day was the big bummer about the dark....SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-9169280471088910252008-08-10T16:22:00.000-04:002008-08-10T16:22:00.000-04:00Congratulations!

I also thought something was under the bed lurking to grab my feet if they went off the edge of the bed. To this day, I still don't let my feet dangle off the bed.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-74968791064447329572008-08-10T14:39:00.000-04:002008-08-10T14:39:00.000-04:00Hi Jeni,Your stories take me back to the same age....Hi Jeni,<BR/><BR/>Your stories take me back to the same age. I had a grandpa I loved like that too. Lucky for him I loved Grandmother almost as much, and they lived in a different house, but not for two weeks one Christmas. ;)<BR/><BR/>My ex had the TV thing thanks to his mom. I have night lights from childhood and soft music now, a compromise with the ex, to help me get to sleep. Books help a lot. :)<BR/><BR/>Peace! <BR/>LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527606943179561117noreply@blogger.com
