Jim is loud in bed...geez
I would love to be sleeping right now, I really would. The problem is, JIM is upstairs melting the paint off the walls with his snoring. He doesn't usually snore, but if he has dairy or alcohol--WATCH OUT!!
So here I am at 5 a.m. writing, because, God forbid I get woken up these days, because I CAN NEVER FREAKING GO BACK TO SLEEP?!?! IT DRIVES ME BANANAS!!! Hence the irritation over the bluejays and the car horns at 5 a.m... they wake me up and that's all she wrote, I am up for good.
The problem is that if I get woken up, fine, it happens, but then it starts, the THINKING! Ug, the awful thinking. I try and focus on my forehead, then I focus on ....and I could go downstairs and get a cup of coffee and ohhh..coffee, yum...it is only 4:30 though, I can't get up at 4:30, that's nuts?! And then I focus on my breathing, in and out, nice and calm...there is that one thing I wanted to write about, ok, so it will start about my irritation with road ragers, oh but I really need to check on the difference between websites and blogs and community websites and man I am actually pretty hungry, I really liked that one girls badge she had on her website, wonder how she did that? Is it a hyperlink? Geeze I wish I knew how to do all this stuff....Ok, Meredyth, you need to chill out...
Snore, Snore, Snore....AHHHHH!!! I am never going to go back to sleep... screw it, who am I kidding, I'm up....
And I slip on my sweats and downstairs I come. At least I can write. I mean, beating the living hell out of my husband while he sleeps, although fun, isn't really fair or nice? Not so condusive to a good marriage, or my survival..hehe...He doesn't really know he is snoring, right?
If he did snore on a regular basis I wouldn't have married him. I know that sounds bad, but there's no way. I have a friend and her husband snores, awful. Growing up or visiting, I could hear him in the next room. I was always amazed and impressed that she could sleep through that kind of insanity. Not me, I would have lost it. To each his own, ass for every seat.. that kind of stuff. We get what we can handle and I CAN'T HANLE snoring.
Honestly, it makes me want to pinch him (do you have the visual?) Sometimes I do it. I slide my hand across the bed, and pinch his side, not to draw blood or anything, but to just wake him up and get my you-shouldn't-have-been-snoring dig in. Then he sort of wakes up and stops for a moment or two. He's actually pretty good about being nice to me when I wake him up for snoring, he gets it. He said the other day that he can hear himself sometimes so he doesn't get upset when I wake him up. That's good, because if you did, I would shove your snoring butt out the bedroom window...but that would be mean.

Ha! You're not alone on this one, believe me. My husband is a snorer to the point where some nights I have to get up and sleep in the spare bedroom in order to get any rest at all. I got up this morning at 4:30 too - thanks to yours truly. I'll be ready for bed before it even gets dark out!
ReplyDeleteI've considered earplugs but unfortunately (or fortunately) it isn't consistently an issue. We don't have a spare room, so it is bed or the couch...and I am not a couch person.
