Earthquake bed

I was laying in bed last night trying to ease off to sleep when it moved. Normally, this wouldn't be such a big deal considering I have four dogs and 3 of them sleep with me so YA the bed moves. Yet last night no dogs were currently in the bed with me! The other weird thing is my bed is a water bed. Nothing can get under the bed and if something moves the bed it's got to be something BIG and STRONG. It's not a full motion bed it's the kind of mattress that you push and it does a half wave? So, it's not your typical water bed you may be thinking of.

Was I freaked out? Really? No. I know that's strange but hey, everyone says I'm crazy!

So here I was thinking about the bed moving. It brought me back to my younger years. My VERY youthful years.

We traveled alot due to my father being in the Air Force so we had many houses we lived in so I can't say that it was one particular home or not.

I always had a hard time sleeping and still do. I can stay in bed FOREVER but that doesn't mean I'm actually sleeping. I like it because it's quiet and people leave me alone. Anyway, when I was little I would flip on my stomach, put my head in my pillow and start banging my head against the pillow. This would eventually put me sleep, or maybe I was knocking myself out, truly I don't know. When I look back on what I did I think I should have been committed right then. Yet my mother never knew I did that, or at least I don't think she did. I also sucked my thumb until I was a teenager and don't have ANY teeth or mouth problems!

So when I would do this banging of the head I would stop, wait, then start again. Sometimes it wouldn't work so I would flip back over and lay there with the blankets over my head and just wait. For what? Well whatever was going to happen.

Usually on these particular hard nights to get to sleep I would feel the bed move. I'm not talking just a bump. I'm talking Exorcist style moving. I would just lay there wondering what was going to come and get me. Thinking the worst. Yet, truly, I think I was doing this myself. Maybe it was the effect of banging my head? Seriously though, it would happen sometimes without me banging my head.

I know we lived on Guam for about 2yrs and I would have been 7-9yrs old during our stay. I know they have earthquakes all the time there so was it that? No, because it happened alot in Texas when we moved there. Strangely enough I don't remember it happening anymore after we moved from Maine. I was 11, I think, when we left Maine and moved to Mississippi.

Strangely enough I don't remember being able to "move" things anymore after that age either.

I, honestly, think I was moving my bed. Just like firestarter when she was frustrated? I was so frustrated I couldn't go to sleep that I started shaking my bed. The energy had to go somewhere and I couldn't kick my walls!

So, I wonder? Last night was I so frustrated with something I moved my bed? Alot of things have been happening here lately that are unexplainable. hmmm....I wonder.
