we have a prowler in our neighborhood!!
ack! actually, we might have several, but in any case there've been several car break-ins over the last couple of weeks. so last night, we're happily going about our night, when "POP! POP! POP! BANG!"; these sounds go off behind our house! apparently, we weren't the only ones to hear it, because not long after, several police cruisers roll by and talk to the neighbors. it REALLY sounded like a gun....how FREAKY is that??!! yeah. nice SUBURBAN neighborhood....niiiiiice......
there's been nothing tonite so far, so we're keeping our fingers crossed and our valuables OUT of view in the car. eek!
in other news.....
i am going to tell an embarrassing tale about my husband. because this is MY blog, and i can. tee hee hee....its okay; he cleared it. lol...anyway....
he MOANS in his sleep! seriously! not, like, "oh, this chocolate cake is so yummy" kind of moans, but more like "ohhhh, this charlie horse reeeeeaaalllllllyyyy hurts!" kind of moans! and at first it was funny. then it was just cute. now i want to smash a pillow in his face every nite!!!! (okay, so i wouldn't really do that....)
but it NEVER FAILS! just as i'm drifing off to la la land, up from the murky depths some monstrous frankenstein type MOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN jerks me from my "almost-sleep-ness"! AAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
so last night, i'd had enough. first, i copied him. everytime he did it, i did the same noise. but it didn't help. so then, i copied him, only LOUDER. and RIGHT by his EAR. didn't help. so THEN i pushed him. its not like he fell out of bed, or anything, but i just kinda, like, "oops...did i bump you?" nudged him. so finally i have him awake, and i'm like, "this is how you sound, you moaner!" and i recounted his moans out loud to him. he just kept looking at me really confused like he'd never seen me before, and who the heck was i?
so then i demanded that he get up and find me some ear plugs. he says we don't have any. liar. i KNOW we do...he worked in safety for YEARS and brought them home by the BOXLOAD. but he assures me we have NO earplugs ANYWHERE in the house. "what about in the garage." i say. "no". he says. "none in the garage." well, now i KNOW he is lying cause i can picture in my head the exact drawer where some are, but i am NOT going to go get them cause am *I* the one moaning? NO! he's the moaner; he's the ear-plug getter. but, no. he is sure they're NOT there. like, magically disapparated, or something. (that's my Harry Potter word i keep using lately....disapparated. :grin:)
so then i say, "okay, then how about headphones." cause i KNOW there are some in the living room since my toddler likes to wear them around the house and listen to himself talking. "fine." he says, and so he fumbles out of bed and thuds and fwumps all around the living room, down the hall, bumps into the corner of the bed "OWW!", and chucks the honkin' sound-protector headphone thingies at me.
so THEN i can't figure out how to LAY DOWN with the danged things on! it reminds me immediately of my girlhood when i had to wear those weird pink curlers to bed and poke my noggin with cloth covered wire all night long....but i digress...(i think i'm good at that; digressing :grin:) and so i lay back on the back of my head, face up, cause that's the only way i can lay on my head with the big earmufferheadphonethingies on, and wait. i think i finally have a solution and will get to not hear the moans as i fall asleep. and just as i begin to worry about how i will continue to sleep with the funky headgear....
mmmmmmmmmmmooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
*sigh*
i give up.
but wait! tonite? tonite i am taking our digital camera with a video/sound recorder to bed with us, and when he starts his moan-fest, i'm going to RECORD IT so he can hear how LOUD he is in the morning!!! bwwwaaahahahahahahahhaaaaa.......
i am evil. :grin: but at least i am quiet. :P
(P.S. -- i really do love my husband very very very very much. lest you worry. =D )
