The things you are most afraid of.

Funny that today's question was something we were just talking about with our friends earlier tonight. We talked about our different fears/phobias (clowns, sharks, spiders.) Now I get to sit down and actually think about it.

The things I am most afraid of...

(In no particular order.)

Losing one of my children. 

Losing anyone I love.

Crickets. I didn't know I was afraid of crickets until I moved to Virginia. I'm only afraid of them when they are in my house. Those things are huge and they can jump.

Not being a good mom.

Heights.

Coyotes. From the time I was four until I was six I had a recurring dream about coyotes. I dreamt that I was trapped in the basement of a house that was in the middle of nowhere and ravenous coyotes came running from every corner of the earth to eat me. I seriously had this dream at least 2-3 times a week.

A bucket of milk getting poured over my head. I don't know that this is really a fear, except that it would really make me lose it. I'm talking tears. I have weird issues with milk and maybe I'll address it in some random future post.

Going too fast. (Driving too fast, sledding too fast, etc.)

Driving in the rain. I developed this fear when we drove from Utah to Virginia a few years ago. We hit a major storm in St. Louis, and I think I kept my eyes squeezed shut for an hour straight while C drove. I had no doubt in my mind that we would get into an accident. I was just hoping it would be a minor one. (In case you were wondering...we made it accident-free.)

Someone breaking into my home. I never take a shower when I'm home alone.

To be honest, now this list is starting to scare me.
