How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Snoring Hubby, Stomping Feet and Stupid Fears

in Uncategorized on 05/12/10

Hubby was tired.  So tired, that no matter how many times I kicked him, begged him to turn over, and pleaded with him to stop snoring, he would not.  Nearing tears, I took my blanket and pillow Linus style and dragged my tired, cranky, ticked off, body down the hall to the spare room.  Stomping and muttering all the way. 

The spare room was such a disaster with boxes and bags piled everywhere, but at least the bed was soft, and empty, and the room was quiet.  Sigh. 

It wasn’t long before I finally succumbed to the sweet sweet slumber my poor body so desperately needed. 

I awoke with a scratchy nose.  Irritated, I rubbed my face and rolled over.

Then.  Awoke with a start!  WHAT THE ????  AHHH!!!!

Something.  On,  My.  Face!

Oh God no.  Not more Bats!

Please no, I can’t take more bats in the house!

Muffled a scream, jumped errr I mean fell out of bed. 

Knocked over that stack of boxes on top of myself.  Oh pain.  Ribs.  Hurt.  Again. 

Commando crawled to the light switch.  Flicked on the light and revealed…balloon

A Purple Polka Dotted Balloon slowly losing it’s helium and bouncing gently around the room.

I am a freak. 

A freak afraid of a balloon.

A freak with one rib out of place. 

A freak with a weapon.

A great big needle.

R.I.P Balloon.

      oh – and what a good blogger you are! Even after the freak out, in the middle of the night you had the foresight to take before & after photos!

      Yup, that would have completely wigged me out too. Although, just today I found myself running from a leaf…..I thought it was a mouse!

      I would have freaked out too! What is with these snoring husbands? I am constantly jabbing my husband’s side so he will roll over.

      The snoring situation sounds all too familiar. Except in my case, the snoring is combined with the smell of horrifying gas emanating from under the sheets…

      HAHAHAHAH! You poor thing! I would’ve probably shrieked and the whole house would’ve been up in arms ready to defend me from the horrible balloon! 😀

      Oh how I wish for a spare room to sneak off to when the hubby snores or grinds his teeth. One day maybe.
      I would of died if it had been a bat. I can’t handle bats. I’m such a wuss when it comes to bats. I think the balloon would of had the same fate here, pop!!! dead!!!
      Have a great and blessed day. Take care.

      I’m sorry, but this is just way too funny. Sound just like something that would happen in my house.

      I hope you are not too tired and your body doesn’t hurt too bad.

      What was the balloon doing in your spare bedroom? Oh, and I was happy to hear it wasn’t a BAT!

      Bet “hubby” slept through it all. They always do. LOL!

      Have a great day!
