YAWN

You know how you have one of those nights where it feels like you're sleeping, but maybe you're not? The kind of night where it might be more of a doze, but it just seems like you're aware of your surroundings the whole night through? Last night was one of those nights for me. Plus, I stayed up too late because...well, because that's what I do, I guess. I get up every morning with my husband at 4:30 (not because I love getting up with him but because if I don't get up, he doesn't get up...and if he doesn't get up, nobody's getting paid). I did the same this morning, and really bounced to it, considering. I did all the dishes that I neglected last night for a wild evening of generally doing nothing. I even cleaned the clutter in the living room. Then I just kind of sat there... on the couch...with a book. And honestly, I would still be there if my husband hadn't called and needed me to look up something online.



It is too hot to be really and truly awake anyway.

I have been having nights like that for a few weeks now and I'm POOPED!

I have to say, how awesome is the internet? My husband and I call each other all the time when we are away from a computer and need something looked up. Whether it is a map because one of us is lost, or a phone number or just about anything. LOVE IT! (He's lucky that I happen to have a desk job, so I'm more often then not available to look something up for him, and my co-workers get a chuckle when I'm trying to figure out where he is so I can give him directions).

My husband gets up at 6:30 and ain't no way I'm getting up with him unless I have to.

Oh, you're my kind of girl . . . except I would never willingly get up that early! Geez!

The way you describe your night is how napping feels to me. Pointless, really, since I never feel like I slept, even if I did!

Cherry-I know what you mean about the internet. At least once a day I get, "I need you to look something up for me/Joe/Ed/whoever...". What would our husband's do without us? I find myself calling my daughter when I am lost, looking for a house on my job. I should record them for later laughs.

Gina-I wish my husband was like your husband and the the majority of the rest of the worlds' husbands. It is so bad that, when I am not home, his buddies at work know to call him. Sigh... he's 37 going on 7.

Mel-I have trouble napping as well! I think I am afraid that if I fall asleep, I'll be out for hours.
