In the Middle of the Night...

My sleep has been interrupted lately...Mr W snores...it's more like a grumble-growl with a whistle on the end. He has even woken himself up a few times--which is hysterically funny! Because on those nights, I am usually already awake because of his snoring..so when he starts laughing at himself I have a good laugh too. Aren't our bodies so funny?

Boofus snores too. Not alot. Not all the time...but when he is very very tired. Cracks me up.

And now, the puppy, 'Koda--snores in her sleep. Which is usually at my feet or in her kennel which is in my room at night. She also makes a sucking noise...I think she's dreaming about her Momma who lives in Nebraska.

Mr W says his snoring is nothing compared to my drooling. Whatever. I don't drool, fool.
Well, not much. And hey, Mr W--it's impolite to tell your wife, the mother of your children, that she drools in her sleep. I'm just sayin.

Now, I will admit to yammering away in my sleep...I do. And so does David Scott, Dean, Nana, Daisie, and Boofus. Nana even sleepwalks...one morning she woke up with the vacuum cleaner ON her bed. We still haven't figured that one out.

Ever dream that you've lost your teeth?
Or had a horse chasing you-- up the stairs??
Or how about dreamt of shoes? like loads and loads of beautiful shoes?? only to wake up and wish you could go back for the shoes?
Or dreamt of flying? I've dreamt about that alot. I'm always flying to my Granma's house in Miami. What does that mean? She's been dead for, like, 12 years...and I hadn't seen her since I was 15. But, in my flying dreams, I go to her house.
Maybe it means I'm gonna die?
If that's the case, I better get off my butt and do some laundry. I would hate for the Relief Society to come in and see I have laundry to do. That would be awful, that would be a nightmare.

  1. Love your blog. But if hubby snores and sometimes stops breathing, please encourage him to have a sleep study. Not addressing sleep apnea can lead to many health problems.

  2. Lisa: Thanks! He doesn't stop breathing...his snoring depends on his position at the time...which is why I think I might start tickling his nose or pinching it to get him to roll over. lol

  3. My Hubs started snoring really loud a few years ago until I couldn't stand being in the room with him because I couldn't sleep. I finally convinced him to go for a sleep study. It took 2 years to convince him to go but the study proved he has sleep apnea, which is life threatening. Now my best friend in the whole wide world has a nifty C-pap machine and doesn't snore anymore at all !

    I would get your Hubs checked out if you haven't already. LOL

  4. My husband does snore, and I can tell he has some sleep apnea, but he refuses to go in and be tested. And when I tell him that I hear him stop breathing for short periods, he insists that I just can't hear him in those times because he is breathing "softly." Seriously, he is so stubborn!

    Makes me crazy.

  5. hey= just so you know... they say people who dream of flying are very creative... I've always wanted to dream I was flying but never have:). I did used to have a reoccuring nightmare when I was little that I was trapped in a hardware store and was getting chased by boxes and would only be safe when I got to the pink and white stripped one? what in the world does that mean? ha ha love you Dawn!

  6. Pete snores when he's on his back. I have to tell him to roll over almost every night, and he never remembers it!

    I have crazy dreams just about every night. The other night I dreamt that I was on a football team, but I was floating up and down in the air...so maybe it was Quidditch? So weird.

    And sorry about your non-show-up-ers at the baptism, etc. You just need to be non-social like me, and not plan stuff! :) I agree with some of the other commenters: I think that life now has us keep in touch electronically instead of in person, face to face, and it's changed things. We all need to learn to put down our little devices and go and SEE people every once in a while.

  7. My MIL started snoring so bad that my FIL had to move out of their bedroom. . .

    Oh, I have so many crazy dreams. Mostly when I'm pregnant. Those dreams are the craziest.

  8. Yes, my hubby also has a c-pap, and all is well, no more snoring, and we can sleep in the same bed together. If you die, Mr. W. will call me before he calls anyone else, and I will make sure that your laundry is done, your house is clean, and all is well. Then I will buy chili at Wendy's and pies at Village Inn for your funeral luncheon. I'm a great friend!!! Love NJ

  9. Thanks for all the comments!
    And Nan, I know you will handle the chili and pies. and the laundry. That's how you roll. Could you just stay in town once in awhile instead of running down to Mesa every 10 days? Thanks that'd be great.
