So what a night I had last night. Yesterday was one of those long days that in the end just leave you stressed and wanting to sleep an entire day. So after this long day all I wanted to do was go to sleep. Finally I fall asleep 15 minutes before 12, and I knew I should have just stayed awake cause my hubby would be home from work at 12:30, but I didn’t. I just wanted to sleep. 5 minutes before 12:30 my home phone starts ringing. I slumber out of the bed and begin searching for the phone, that I had forgotten that I had placed on a shelf on my headboard. Here I am thinking that it might be my hubby and something might be wrong. So without even paying attention to the caller idea I answer the phone. And on the other end I hear a voice that quickly awakens me.

“Hello”

“Yes, this is Dale with the Floyd County Sherrif’s office” (that’s right, the same Dale,*by the way I’m not using his real name*)

“Yes?”

“I left my phone out in the cruiser all night, but I just checked it and it said you called 6 times. By the way who is this?” (As if he didn’t already know)

“This is Elizabeth, and I’m sorry but you must have gotten the number wrong cause I didn’t call you.”

“NO, 285-1907?”

“That’s my number, but I know I didn’t call you, and I don’t know what to tell you.”

“Well I’m sorry I called you so late, but I thought there might be something wrong since you called 6 times.” (As if he really cared, and if there wasn’t something wrong wouldn’t I have called my husband or 911 instead of a guy I can’t stand, regardless of whether or not he works for the sherrif’s dept.?”

“Well, I don’t know what else to tell you, I didn’t call you.”

“Oh, well okay.”

And then I hung up, and quickly called my hubby, who was less than 5 minutes away from the house. Now see I don’t believe Dale’s story, because I know I didn’t call him. The only person I called from my home phone yesterday was my mom (who I talked to when I called her) and there is no way my kids could have been playing with the phone and accidentally called his number… And see my husband and I neither one believe his story, you just have to know him I guess. But there’s no way my number showed up on his cell phone.

So what did he really want? I’m not sure, and I don’t know what he wanted Sunday afternoon when he called with the same story. But he’s up to something, I can feel it. I’m just not sure what.

Oh and to beat it all, my night only got worse. I tried going back to sleep after hubby got home while he sat on the bed beside me holding me while he played xbox (yes he likes to play xbox with his friends while I sleep…lol). But that was impossible. Instead I had several dreams about Dale… In one he delivered a package to my house and in this package was a letter he wrote (which apparently wasn’t the first cause I remember saying something like it was just like all the others, saying how much he loved me and couldn’t bare to live without me) one of my favorite shirts (not sure how he got it), and some other things I didn’t recognize. Then another dream, it was late at night, I was waiting for hubby to come home, I thought I heard his car, so I looked out my upstairs bedroom window and I saw Dale sitting out in his police cruiser looking up at me.

This all has me stressed out because I feel the drama building. I can feel that something’s going to happen I’m just not sure what or when… Hubby says I’m letting him get to me again, and he’s right. This is just another one of Dale’s mind games, and I’m letting him win. But I know I’m stronger and better than that, so I’ll find my way to deal with it, and in the mean time, just in case he is up to something, I’ll be on guard. My door will be securely locked every night, cause when it comes to him, I know not to trust. I do however think that if he calls again, I’m just going to ask him what the hell he wants…But I just know in my gut, something’s coming…..
