Get to bed!!

Last night my two youngest spent the night at one of their uncle's place, after a great time with the younger uncle at the carnival.

My husband and I had a great time ourselves with his other brothers, having a few. When we got home, I went to rest a little on the couch before heading to bed. I dozed off, and woke up lonesome. I went to our bed and fell back asleep.

I woke up because I felt like my husband was sitting up. "Honey are you alright?", I asked as I reached up to touch his back. My hand went right through, the figure was turning his head and seemed to disappear, like smoke. My hand touched my husband's abdomen and I started to yell. "Marvin! Marvin! I sssaw a ghost!!" I said, as I grabbed his covers.

I startled him and he replied with an irritated tone "Get to bed, and don't yell in my ear." I fell asleep holding him, and woke up the same way, except sometime during the night he kick off the covers.
