I am scared of the dark. I admit it. When I am home alone (well,
alone with my daughter) I turn on a few lights and keep them on when I
go to bed. I also like to fall asleep with the TV on to drown out any
boogeyman noises. We have an alarm system, so hopefully that will keep
the real ones out. Or at least help me from worrying about someone
sneaking in through my daughters window and snatching her in the middle
of the night. Soemtimes when my husband is gone, I have to take
benadryl or Xanax (which I MOST greatly thank the drug gods for) so I
can stop listening for things and getting panicky and fall asleep.

Last night, I heard a weird noise in the hallway. Maya was asleep,
and my husband is still out of town. I immediately turned on TV so I
wouldnt get spooked by anything else. I grabbed the remote, and
flipped it on, thinking hey, I wish I could catch a Sex and the City
rerun. Perfect to fall asleep to. I pictured the one where Miranda
thinks she has a ghost in her apartment (and Steve and Aiden open their
own bar). I turned to TBS, hoping to get lucky, and there it was. THE
EXACT SAME EPISODE I was just thinking about. So of course, I had to
turn the channel since it was just to weird. Does this happen to you?
Why does this happen? Help!
