to sleep or not to sleep

I have this totally irrational fear of bugs & animals in general - ladybugs, spiders, flies, bees, worms, snails, slugs, mice, little kitties and puppies. I'm the idiot that will scream and have a heart attack when my little brother shoves some bug he's cupping in his hand for me to look at. Yeah, it's embarrassing & sad, but also...yuck! I am also the maniac that will run across the road without looking both ways when I spot a mini poodle 50 yards away. I don't think I would make it in a wilderness challenge or camping or any outdoorsy adventure where I would be faced with my worst enemies. ~shudders~

Anyway, Mother Dear put my newly washed rug in my room today and as I was walking to my bed, I stepped into something cold that felt like spaghetti. I looked down confused and somehow managed to swallow a scream of terror and disgust and crazy fear. I had stepped on two fat, ugly, worms that somehow snuck on the rug while it was being aired outside.

It's midnight now and I'm still too scared to go to bed. Don't laugh at me...I'm thinking...if those worms managed to get into my room...what else has? Are there a couple of garden snakes hiding under my duvet? Are the shadows under my bed spiders or unswept dust bunnies? What are those red globes glowing from my closet door?

Ohmygod!
