Happy New Year

Happy New Year

I went back to work yesterday for the first since before christmas.  Boy was i tired, i could do with an other 2 weeks off i think.

Well what do you know i am going to a new years eve party tonight for the first time in years.  Daughter has invited us to her church's party.  I'm a bit tired because i had a bad night last night but she doesn't want to go on her own and i'm looking forward to it.  It will make a change to watching tv with husband snoring in the chair beside me while i wait for the family to phone and wish me us happy new year from their various parties.

Which brings me back to why i'm tired.  Hubby works nights so i get the bed to myself all week.  Saturday night he goes up early because he was at work night before, spreads himself across the king size because that's what he is used to all week.  I then get in and move him over, then the snoring starts.  All week there is no one to poke him to make him shut up (you can hear him through the ceiling) so he has got into the habit.  I get him into a quiet position and all is well, but i have to keep turning because of painful joints.  Everytime i move even if it is to scratch my nose he moves and starts up again.

This goes on all night and i get precious little sleep.  I love him dearly but there have been times when i have looked at him in the middle of the night and wondered if i could get away with a little smoothering with the pillow. 

Sunday night we are back to normal, he knows his place on his side on the edge of the bed and i have the rest.  The status quo has been resumed and then the rest of the week we both have the bed to ourselves again.  Hence i am always tired on a Sunday. Yawn, yawn.

Goodbye 2006 and hello 2007

If you cellotape maltesers up into his nostrils you will find he never snores.
He may wake up with chocolate bogeys though!

Hahahaaa  Jenny, too cute, I can remember way back to having a x-king size bed and even having a few kids in between us and room enough for a few sheep, a goat and maybe a small cow! Yes, my hubby also works nights and with the holidays here he works longer hours.
Now snoring is a different story...it got so bad and I had gotten hardly any sleep so he is on the den sofa more than back in my bed :))))))))
If you have to work it's rough when you can't get a full 8 hours of z's.
I missed our Church dinner by 1 night, I wrote the wrong date down and was so sorry Mom and I couldn't get to it.
Happy New Year to you and family Jenny :)
Doreen :))))
