How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Hating the Quick To Fall Asleepers

in Everyday on 12/10/10

Yes, you read that right.  It is not even a real word, but it is how I feel.  I do not like you instant fall asleepers.  You know who you are, you know who I mean.  The people who put their heads down on the pillow and are instantly asleep! This may be just a teeny bit directed at my Hubby.  So, who exactly do you think you are, and how the hell do you do this???

How do you stop the whirling thoughts of the day from swirling around in your head?

Do you not have a single ache or pain that keeps you awake for even a moment?

Don’t you ever remember that you forgot to start the dishwasher and have to get up and start it?

Don’t you ever worry that you forgot to lock the back door and have to run down and check it?

Am I really the only one who forgets to put the laundry in the dryer?  Can’t leave that in there over night.  Super stinky.

Did the girls pack their stuff for cheerleading?  Is your first appointment tomorrow at 9AM or 9:30?  It makes a difference.  Are we almost out of dog food?  What are you going to make for sides at Christmas dinner this year?  Oh my gosh there are so many Christmas gifts left to buy!!  What on earth am I going to wear to the Christmas party on Saturday night.  Will it ever stop snowing?

Sigh.  Yep. I hate you instant fall asleepers. 

Pass the wine.  Maybe that will help.

Psst.  One more thing keeping me awake! I don’t think you entered my giveaway yet!  It ends at 5pm today! Winner announced tomorrow.  2 prizes. One for your pet worth $150.00  Come see!

      I agree, I always end up laying there and I try to picture a beach or count but if I’m not completely exhausted it usually will take a while plus I’ve learned that if I keep a note pad and pen I can write down what pops up in my mind

      It must be a guy thing! My hubs is the same and it makes me crazy…If I can fall asleep in 30 minutes that was a fast night

    Throw back and a little travel inspo….

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom 

I promise - once you try #HomeExchange you will never look at travel the same way again! Follow the link in my bio for all the deets. ❤️

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
