Space Chick Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Last night, I was in bed fast asleep, I shot out of bed, ran down the stairs and rushed out the back garden. It was 11pm and pitch black. OH shouted on my leap out of the bedroom "Whats the matter" I replied "The chooks are bokking, I think its a fox" When did I become aware of my actions, when I was stood bare foot on the back step in the garden and the cold air woke me up. Even my sleep walking and talking is now focussing on the girls. I returned upstairs to bed, to which OH said "well I didn't hear anything and everything is locked up, we both checked". I then had to admit that I woke up on the back step and he told me what I had said However, paranoia had stepped in by then, so I slept with the window open, just incase I needed to hear them. Anyone else done anything that stupid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Sounds familiar , I get really confused after doing all night on-calls when I'm completely exhausted and my body clock gets shot to pieces. Last week after doing one I suddenly appeared downstairs at 2 in the morning (OH was still working ) and frantically, started pulling wellies on over PJ's. "I've left the girls free ranging" I was saying, they'll be asleep in the trees or something, I can't believe I've forgotten them!". It took him 5 minutes to convince me that we had been up there earlier and shut them in, even though I could only remember doing it the day before . I still made him shine the torch up the garden to prove to me that the run was all shut up before I could go back to bed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) You are not alone Debs. I have done the same thing.... There is an advert on the TV at the moment with a crowing cockeral. OH was watching telly last night and I heard a cock-a-doodle-dooo!!! Cue me, shooting out of the back door, leaving dinner burning on the hob, running up the garden to try and work out which of my flock was a boy!

Clare L Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 That has really cheered me up. Thanks! I have not done it for the chickens, but used to do it all the time when my oldest boy was a baby - once I even woke him up because I did not think I had feed him (which of course I had) but by the time I realised that I had already woken him! It used to drive my OH around the bend! Glad I am not the only mad hatter around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I had the wierdest dream a month or so ago and would never have admitted to it until now. A fox was after my chooks and i ran and caught it and it was ( I hardly dare say) Kevin Webster from coronation street! I had him pinned against a wall shouting 'dont you dare eat my chooks!!!
