SLEEP ....

For those of you who read my blog or know me, you know that I have always had a hard time falling asleep.  I took Ambien for a while but that was a disaster.  I ended up eating everything in sight and put on 30 lbs.  So I chucked that.  Then I took Advil PM.  I had to take two because one was not enough.  Now, I take Melatonin, which helps BUT I also sleep next to a human freight train ... Danny.

Every night, without fail, he falls asleep soundly by 9:30 pm.  I will watch T.V. until 11:30 to 12:30 am.  What can I say, I'm a night-owl.  And ONLY when I turn off the TV and try to fall asleep does the freight train decide to take off.  He immediately starts snoring in my ear and I want to kill him.  

DAN!  SHUT UP!

DAN!  ROLL OVER!

DANNY!  YOU'RE SNORING!

DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Every freaking night.  The last two nights I slept in the extra bedroom.  The first night he didn't even know I was gone.  Next morning I whine ... you snored like a train last night!  He just smiles.  Why the hell should HE care that I don't get a good nights sleep when all that matters is that HE does?  I mean it's all about him anyway right?

So, last night the same thing.  Lights out, T.V. off, FREIGHT TRAIN begins.  I don't even try to sleep, I just got up, slammed the door (which he didn't even hear) and went to sleep in the extra room.

About 2:30 am boyfriend is standing at the foot of the bed like a scared little boy. 

Dan:   "Hon?  What are you doing in here?"

Me:    "SLEEPING."

Dan:  "Come to bed." 

Me:   "BEG ME."
