A Wake-up Call - For Real

[TSprint1]

Around 3am today I woke up to see my wife standing on my side of the bed, in the dark, leaning over and whispering to me.  My first thought was to reach for my pistol on the night stand by the bed.  I did this, but my gun wasn't there. In the next couple of seconds many, many thoughts ran through my head;  was someone trying to get in the house, was someone already in the house, where's my gun etc. I remembered that I had shot and cleaned my bedside gun yesterday but while reassembling it I had received a phone call and must have left it by my recliner which is at the other end of the house.  I jumped out of the bed and ran into the closet to get my 870.  As I came back into the bedroom my wife said "Do you really think you need that shotgun?"  I said "Maybe, why?"  She said "I was just trying to tell you that I think that there's a mouse in our mattress!" :eek:  My heart rate had to have gone from about 70 to somewhere above 300 and was now starting to go slowly back down.  Anyway, the mouse wasn't in the mattress but was in the attic.  I got it with a Daisy M853 today.  Learned a few things and among them were;  Make sure your home defense weapon is where it's supposed to be - always - and find out what your wife is telling you before you try to get engaged.  I'm sure there are many more lessons learned in there but I don't think I'll be able to process them until my heart rate gets back below 100. First time in many years that I haven't had some kind of weapon within arm's reach. I just had to tell somebody about this without having to look them in the eye. :stunned:

Reminds me of the other morning, me wife was leaving for work, she leaned over me to give me a kiss while I was alseep.

 

I woke up right as she was standing over me.

 

Scared the hell out of me as well.

The way that was worded I thought you were about to say you decked her. lol

Paraphrased: I woke up at 3am with my wife standing over me mumbling something and my gun wasn't where I thought I had put it. (like she had it)

That's why I love barking dogs. Any out of the ordinary sound and they go off. No barking and even if I get woke up I don't really worry. I also can't go to bed without my .45 on the nightstand.

When we first started dating, my fiancee did this and apparently I came up swinging. She now makes sure she shakes my foot to wake me before she comes nearer.
