under the bed
Thursday, June 08, 2006
Bebo likes to hide under our bed. Often times he will spend the whole night sleeping under the bed until early morning when he'll finally decide to curl up with me. When he's in trouble or has something he's not supposed to, he goes straight for the bed. (There is in fact, a pair of socks he stole in this picture.)
Yesterday evening he crawled under the bed to take a little nap. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of him and his hideout. I found myself wishing that I could fit under the bed...and I could crawl under for a little nap.
Sometimes I'm so overcome with anxiety that I want to build a fort and hide in it. I worry about money, jobs, my loved ones... It just multiplies until I'm completely overwhelmed. I think maybe I should just find a little spot during times like that and hide out for a bit. Usually though I just find Josh and he brings me out of it. He's good like that.
I guess I can't crawl under the bed like Bebo but I think that's a good thing. If I was able to just hide out under our bed anytime something made me upset...well, I don't think I'd spend so much time "out in the world". posted by kimberly, 7:47 AM
