Couch Time

Hopson snores.  And I mean he snores loudly!  When he takes the children hunting not one of them will sleep in the same room with him because you can hear him snoring throughout the entire house.  It's like a freight train.  He has horrible allergies, and I don't know if that is a contributing factor or what, but I've tried kicking him, getting him to roll over, getting him to take a melatonin to help him sleep, but nothing has worked.  It has led to many fitful or no nights of sleep.  I'm not happy if I have no sleep.

Right now I'm writing this from my couch in our family room because I just couldn't take another minute of the sound.  It's not a bad place to sleep, but not nearly as comfy or warm as my bed.  He always tells me to kick him out, but I'm awake, so I might as well be productive...

Hope is on the horizon!  A dentist who hunts at the same club where the fam hunts told Hopson about an appliance he can wear at night to help with his snoring!!!  Yes, please we'll take 10 of those. 

For my 40th birthday I didn't ask for any presents, I wanted Hopson to go for a sleep study.  His track record for following through with gifts like that is a little spotty.  (for our anniversary 3 years ago I asked for some up lighting for our house, it took him 2 years to get it done)  Last week when Hopson woke me up with his snoring I kicked him, and asked in a rather raised voice when he was going to get fitted for the stupid mouth piece.  At the time, I didn't think my sleepless self could deal with another night of this.  He said he was going on Monday.  You know which Monday?  That would be today!!!!!  I can't wait.  Please let there be a quick turn around on getting the appliance, but I'm betting on two weeks.  Just two more weeks...two more weeks....two more weeks...can I not suffocate him in his sleep for two more weeks?

I threw up everyday for all nine months of each pregnancy  (that is equal to throwing up for 3 years) I can handle anything for two weeks!  I'll let you all know how it goes.  :)  Maybe tonight I'll take a Melatonin so hopefully I'll get a good night's sleep!

Celebrating Life, sleep & a husband who in the future will not snore!

A Little Bone to Pick

Image
I have a little bone to pick with Team USA.  Hey y'all, will you please sing our national anthem when you win the gold medal?  I mean, you're standing there on the top level of the podium; the gold medal is hanging around your neck; our flag is being raised above all others; our national anthem is the one being played; and you are just standing there.  You are a citizen of the greatest country in the world.  Sing, please sing.  If you're not going to sing, then I want you smiling and/or crying like crazy. I can't even imagine all the work you have done to get to the point where you are now.  All the years of training, and forgoing a 'regular life' to pursue your dream.  I'm just a random mom from Alabama, but my patriotism is deep.  When you medal, we all medal.  We love your spirit, love it when you recognize your competitors, and love your sportsmanship.  Remember that there are hundred of thousands of little children watching you and wanting to be j

Well Good for Fair Fanny Petro

This is one of favorite sayings from the movie, The Help.  The way Skeeter says it with just the right touch of 'I don't give a flying monkey's behind' is perfect...I.mean.PERFECT.  And you have to say it like  you are from 1960's deep south.  Which means you don't really pronounce your r's.  Here's the clip from youtube. This is a saying I'll say sometimes if somebody is talking about something I don't give two shakes about.  I thought it just a few hours ago as I was listening to the radio.  But to back up just a bit so you know why I said it... ...The older I get the more I don't  understand our fascination with Hollywood stars, musicians, and people who play collegiate/professional sports.  Most of them are not worth our time of day.  There is a large portion of them that are just, well, trash.  If they were living in your community, and were just a plain Jane normal person, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with them.
