Snuggle Bug

So the other night Eric and I had just walked baye. We were so ready for bed. It had been a long day and sleep was looking so good. We laid in bed and sure enough I couldn't for the life of me fall asleep. POGO TIME. I snagged the lappy and hopped on pogo for some card games with becky. After the last scare of bed bugs I am super paranoid I feel like i have bugs on my skin whenever I'm in bed. So sure enough as I'm playing bingo (lol grandma in training here) I feel like i have a bug on my thigh. "don't look don't look don't look there isn't anything there your paranoid silly willy" I tried to calm my nerves but after a persistent annoying crawling feeling on my bare skin on my thigh i feel that i have got to look. I pull back the blankets and AHHHH BBBBBBBUGG on my leg. I cant tell you how funny it must have looked throwing the lappy down doing a silly dance on the bed before leaping into the bathroom and hitting the bedroom light on. My dear husband being how he is stays in bed. While I'm spazzing out in the bathroom unable to control my mind and body Eric is so confused he has no idea what is going on. The only words i could say were "Bug in the Bed" with the last time with the scare of bed bugs And it being nothing, I'm sure he was thinking "woman will you get in bed and stfu" I love my uncontrolled mind telling him about this bug because looking back it made no sense. it was basically like a combination of bug, bugs, bed, bu bu bu in the, and there are. I love my husband he puts up with loads of hysteria from me. So He was probably thinking this was just Chrys freaking out. finally Eric moved my laptop and there was nothing there. I told him to get the heck outta bed and that we had to search for this monster of a bug. Poor Eric Because he had to get up early for work the next day its already 11 or so at night and I was spazzing out. We remove and check each blanket from the bed. Eric being so tiny there are many. The bed was striped of everything except the allergen blocker mattress cover. I lifted the bed and the boxspring and there was nothing. I left the bedroom. I went into the bathroom, shut the door sat on the toilet shaking thinking OMG I'm freaking crazy! I saw it tho. There was def. a bug. So at this point i feel that Ive lost my damn mind. I thought up a bug, Placed it in bed and lost complete control of my mind and body. I left the bathroom and all i could tell Eric was I saw it, You can think I'm crazy but i saw and felt it. "I believe you babe but its not here now, Come to bed." Eric said with complete compassion. I couldn't bare the thought of sleeping in this room let alone the bed with this potentially real or made up bug. The search was nearing completion, I was feeling absolutely crazy with each second that clicked by. Eric was replacing all the blankets and i just kept saying I'm not crazy and no way in hell am i sleeping in this damn room i saw a bug, it was on me. Eric had put on all but 2 blankets When all i hear is a mixture of ewww and ugh, Here's the lil effer (he swore i wont lol) I looked where he was looking and i see a fast moving big bug. It crawled under another blanket, I moved the blanket and sure enough i see the snuggle bug that made me feel like i was losing my mind. Gotta love Hawaii cause the nasty thing was a centipede. Lets not mention i was wearing Just short shorts so the thing was on bare skin and in my "safe spot" I through a glass candle on top the thing and continued my freak out. I was so glad though that i wasn't going crazy. I truly had this nasty thing on me and it was real. threw on a shirt told Eric to get a paper plate and continued my hysteria. We placed the paper plate down next to the candle i scooted the thing on it and trapped it with the candle as before. Now came the hard part of getting it down stairs. Eric didn't want to do it so i took his man cards grabbed my snuggle bug and headed for the garage. Eric in combat boots and boxers and me wearing short shorts and a baggy tee shirt get the thing in the garage. I grabbed hairspray and Eric grabbed an old flip flop. Then we debate who has to kill it and how. Eric kindly let me do it. I take the flip flop remove the candle and squish it. But wait its still moving, No legs now but trying as though it were a snake to escape. Eric took his foot moved the flip flop back over it and stood on the flip flop with a few wiggles back and forth with his foot he killed it. Now before my neighbors told me all about these things how they are poisonous and that they needed to be burned after killing due to the fact they release a pheromone that attracts more. so i hair spray the MF and torch him. Combat boots and boxers Eric opens the garage and threw the thing in the dumpster. I HATE BUGS. I hate being paranoid but i hate bugs more. So now Ive been having the worst luck ever with falling asleep. We sprayed the house with ortho so we wouldn't have any other issues like that again but i still feel freaked. I make myself a little safety barrier with a fleece blankey and a sheet. Eric laughs but its the best way for me to get some sleep. And when i say sleep I'm only getting a few hours each night. Which is making me more and more paranoid with the lack of sleep. Eric having duty doesn't help at all. Because then i have to sleep alone. or with baye which is a pain sometimes. Ive tried sleeping aids but they don't help. the only thing that helps is my oxycodone from when i was bit by a dog last year. Left over because i didn't like how i cashed out anytime i took it. before i was freaked out thinking i was losing my mind, Made up a bug that didn't exist. Now i know I'm losing my mind because i cant fall asleep because I'm scared of bugs. Stupid hawaii and ur stupid bugs.
