Jumpy..............by Susan

I've always been a bit on the jumpy side. My three sons always enjoyed that particular trait of mine and helped it develop further as they grew up. Their growing up spanned quite a few years since the oldest one is 40 and the youngest one is 26.
Like many mothers of sons, I experienced the usual scare of one of my sons jumping out at me from behind a door or a piece of furniture. It was all in fun and I have to admit I enjoyed it, even when one of them put a fake spider on my pillow.
I have a problem with anxiety now and am quite jumpy. Sometimes this reminds me of the fun I once had with my sons. Now it isn't a pleasant kind of jumpy and sometimes can be embarrassing. The other day I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office filling out a form. I didn't hear the doctor enter the room and walk over to me. He started to hug me. I jumped out of my skin!
I apologized and said, I guess I was really focused on the form I was filing out. Actually, being very tense and jumpy has been my way of life for some time now. A few nights ago, my husband and I were taking a walk around our neighborhood when a man on a bicycle came riding past us very quickly. I didn't see or hear him until he was right beside us and right at that minute he said loudly, "nice evening isn't it?" I jumped out of my skin.....again"
These are only two examples of how I've embarrassed myself lately by being so darn jumpy. Feel free to comment and share your stories if you are also jumpy in nature.
