I always feel like, Somebody's watching me!

I went back to my hometown of Logan, UT last week and I'm feeling a little nostalgic. So indulge me and travel back in time with me about 15 - 16 years ago. I was a senior in high school and I had some great friends. Two of my best guy friends were, Tom and Cory. They were awesome guys that I could totally be myself around, and they were great for letting me be a girl and babble on and on over analyzing everything. At some point we got into a practical joke war that included my friend, Sunni and I going to their homes during school, convincing their mom's to let us in their rooms to take ALL their clothing and hold them for ransom, and we ended up wearing their clothes to school the next day. I think Sunni still owns Tom's sweater that she wore to school. This war also included me walking out to my car after school to see it propped up on cinder blocks with the tires removed. For some reason I think it took me till 2:00 that morning to get the tires back after a wild goose chase and a good middle of the night shake at McDonald's. So you get the picture that they liked to tease me.
They found the best way to tease me when they discovered how jumpy I am, and when I get scared I totally lose control of my legs and drop to the floor. Many evenings I would be sitting in our dining room talking with a couple brothers and sisters and I'd just get this sense that someone was watching us. You ever get that feeling? Slowly I'd just kind of look around to see if something was out of the ordinary. We'd go back to talking and the creepy feeling would come again. So I'd go to our large dining room windows to peek in the backyard to see if anything was out of the ordinary there, and almost EVERY TIME as I was looking out into the darkness suddenly Tom and Cory's two heads would quickly pop up scaring me to death! Making me lose control of my legs and falling to the ground. One time in particular I dropped to the ground, and hit my head on a chair on the way down and passed out for a minute or so. So, obviously they did it a lot. Why did I get scared every time?? I'm just jumpy, but that is why they had so much fun doing it over and over again, all at my expense.
So now we can travel back to present day and my darling 5 year old son has discovered how scared I get and thinks it is so funny. Hayden is my little cuddle bug and many nights I'll roll over and find that he's come and cuddled into bed with us. A lot of times he wakes up because he has to go potty, but he's so out of it that he doesn't really know why he's up, so he comes in our room and wants to sleep with us. Usually I'll hear him open his door and come into our room and I'll tell him to go potty and send him back to his bed. Well for the last couple weeks, while sleeping I'm suddenly awoken with that feeling of someone staring at me. CREEPY! The first night I saw Hayden standing there at the side of my bed with a blank stare on his face. I screamed and shook the bed so bad that Jerry woke up. That woke Hayden up out of his half conscious state and made him laugh. This discovery of his has awakened his sneaky side. So many nights in the past couple weeks I have woken up out of the blue and it's like I know Hayden is there, but I'm also so jumpy and scared. He is crouched down by the side of the bed and when he hears me gasp for air when I wake up scared he jumps up and scared me even more. What on earth motivates this child to wake up in the middle of the night and try to scare his mother. I guess I'm good entertainment for others!

p.s. I apologize to Hayden for whacking him on the head on more than one of those nights as I have been so scared I lose control of my arms and they fling out to the side.
