Poor BJ
So, y'all know that I do some really wacky stuff in my sleep when I'm under stress. The past few days have been no exception. My poor husband has spent his precious sleeping time calming me down, tracking me down or sometimes just watching the entertainment.

I've been particularly active and loud the past two nights. BJ said that sometimes he just watches me and thinks, "is she awake? she has to be awake... no, she's asleep". Especially when I'm doing this:

I photoshopped my face in, just to crack myself up- but this truly is the pose I do in my sleep most of the night. Have I mentioned how sore my elbows are lately?

If I'm not 'watching pretend tv', I'm sitting straight up in the middle of the bed. Or, I'm using my mini laptop. BJ said that on Friday night, he woke up to find me staring at the start page (the desktop) on my computer. When he asked me if I wanted to turn it off, I told him that I didn't know how.

Last night, BJ found me downstairs "watching" some religious programming. I don't remember a bit of this. Gee, I hope I didn't call and donate a bunch of money.

It's always kind of interesting to hear from BJ the stuff I was doing the night before. If he were a mean guy, he could really mess with my mind and tell me I'm doing some really outrageous stuff. "Honey, you made a mess and didn't clean it up" (ha! I'd be so on to him because I'd NEVER do that!)

I hope that once this week is over and all of the "what's going to happen" questions are answered, all of this nocturnal stuff will stop. I'm pooped and BJ is pooped.

I am sure all the stress is making for some good entertainment and some sleepless night for BJ.

My son wakes up approx. 2 hours after he has been asleep (not always only when EXHAUSTED) and you would think he is awake, because he communicates and then doesn't. But it is strange to witness.

I have you and BJ on my prayer list for good things to happen with your jobs.
Whether it be these jobs or better ones you don't even know about yet. smile

I'm curious to see at which point BJ finally handcuffs you to the bedpost. Just for a good night's sleep, you understand.
No other reason.

I think we will all be sleeping better once we know our "fate" - I hate the waiting!

Must be weird for BJ to try and figure out if you're still sleeping or not. I hope your liver is okay with all this stress! Hope the week ends well.

Hi RG,
Annie has given me a few starts over the years, but she is worth it.

One night, after we were first married, she woke me up, leaning on one elbow, with her eyes wide open and gripping my arm and shaking me awake. She said with great intensity "you have to do something fast - there are spiders in the Easter grass, and someone is going to get bitten!!!" She was really serious, but not looking me in the eye. Then she lay back down. I told her to go back to sleep, that it was just a dream, and then she really woke up, and heard the ill concealed amusement in my voice and quickly put 2+2+2 together and came out with the answer that her new husband was having a little fun at her expense......

At the time, she was working as a checker in a grocery store. The bananas came in big boxes that were padded with the green Easter grass, and sometimes a taranchula would pop out and scare everyone to the point where they dreamed about it.

Annie still doesn't like spiders, and keeps a can of spider spray handy in fall. I have mostly learned not to sneak up and touch her lightly on the neck..... mostly.
