Whoduhthunkit!?

The husband got home Sunday night after over a year’s worth of deployment to "the Sandbox".

Now…before you get that impish grin on and start thinking kinky sick thoughts (which, trust me, aren’t thoughts people normally associate with me), I am NOT exhausted because of all the SEX folks.

It’s the snoring.

FUCK that man snores!

I do NOT know what happened but he lays there all night alternately very nearly choking on the back of his own throat and/or blowing air through his lips wihle they sort of PRP open and closed.

GAH!

I try to get 8 hours in every night because I have to watch other people’s children all day. Any good parent would not want to leave their precious kiddie with someone who is either hallucinating from lack of sleep or gone savage due to same. I am on the second night of less than 4 hours of sleep. I am thinking of hiring a hit man…to shoot ME.

How do you tell someone that the little gift they brought back for you from the desert is killing you slowly?

I am DELIGHTED to have him back but this snoring…Oh he used to snore a BIT which I was quite accustomed to but THIS? I lay there as the back of his throat collapses and wait for him to realize (in his sleep) that he is asphyxiating. I know it’s going to happen with a good RIPPING SNKGGGGGGGGKKKGGGGGGGGG but I ALSO know that if it doesn’t I am left collecting insufficient life insurance and living the rest of my life without laughter and great conversation. So I lay there…waiting…to see if he needs CPR or if he is going to suck the PJs off of me finally with a massive indrawn snore.

This is killing me.

One should not have to grit one’s teeth to climb into bed with one’s beloved spouse should one? I mean…he could trade this new skill set in for perhaps a good solid dutch oven each and every night. I’d deal…I’d even pull the covers over my head and really appreciate the flavor and bouquet JUST FOR HIM…but this snoring.

I am going to die from lack fo sleep…

I don’t want sex…I want SLEEP.

How sad is this? He’s home and he’s alive and hale and all I want is sleep LOL.

Keep your eyes on the headlines - I may show up as the chick who microwaves her cell phone and burns down the block.

I’m drugging us both on Friday night LOL.

You know I always, in a sort of humble but self acknowledging kind of way, thought that I was informed, open minded, and intelligient. I felt I was one of those that are deeply sensitive and capable of seeing the deeper beauty of people despite what the outer shell is showing.

Oh how wrong I was.

Someone more beautiful on the inside and outside than myself has educated me in a soul searing and life altering way. This beautiful woman found some knowledge and shared it with the world and then, she showed her deep and abiding love, an ability to love that goes above and beyond any I know. She shared her child with us.

I am always the type to hop on a soapbox and beat my chest about whatever moves me but I think I am going to simply say this. I have been blessed by being emotionally touched by this woman. I have been enlightened and enriched. I have been changed.

I will let HER post do the talking in HER blog. Join me. I BEG you to watch BOTH of the videos (one rather long) ALLLLLL the way through. If you don’t you are cheating yourself of a chance to truly SEE the world as it was meant to be.
