What are you afraid of?

Besides outliving my children I do have the fear of speaking in a room full of people. In my college graduation I had to present the final essay to the school's dean and some professors.. I cried for days before that happened...In the end everything went out fine and I got the highest scores but not without getting reaaaally nervous and anxious.

oh and some minor fears: rats, mice, roaches and bees... :) oooh and clowns... clowns give me the creeps for sure lol

I've read that speaking in front of people os the #1 fear. I'm terrified of that, too. I hate rodents too and I can't believe how many people are afraid of clowns!

I am afraid of bats. It is a result of having bats in our house growing up (old farmhouse type house). Waking up in the middle of the night, feeling the breeze from wings over your face...it gets to you!

OHMYGOSH - we had a bat in our house once - it scared the puddin' out of me. It was laying under a towel on the floor and when I went to pick it up - there it was - it looked like a tiny vampire!!

One time, in the fall, I opened the flu in the fireplace to start a fire and a bunch of birds flew into my family room. I was screaming and chasing them around with a broom! My kids still talk about me and the birds.

Tiny Vampire is right! (although they look huge to me, no matter how little they may be!)

And too funny about that bird story! I can only imagine! I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but hopefully you can laugh about it now!

Oh, we laugh about it now! I guess I looked like a wild woman running around with my broom. All I kept yelling was "open those sliding glass doors!!" I swatted those darned birds until I got them outside.

A broom is still my favorite "weapon"! I keep one on the front porch as well as inside. I can do some damage with a broom. Hahaha
