Men!!
So, knowing I would have to work tonight, I stayed up last night until almost 4 am, so I could sleep today. Between coming in to tell me something or calling me on the phone, my husband woke me up four times today. One would think that since he also works nights, he'd understand, but...
Anyway, at 7pm I went to lay down for a few more hours (after being woken up for dinner at 6, which was totally unnecessary). I didn't take my phone to bed with me bc I was sick of hearing it ring while I was trying to sleep. I told him I wanted up at 10pm. At 10:40, he comes in to wake me up; he had fallen asleep watching TV!! This has happened before, and I should've known better than to count on him, so I blame myself as much as him, but it's still infuriating. I had to rush around and made it to work right at 11. Last time this happened, it was a morning I had just come off a night shift and we were supposed to be at my parents' at 1pm for Sunday dinner. I laid down for a few hours and asked him to wake me up at 1145. Well, I'm sleeping real good when I hear, "Oh, shit!" I look at the clock and it's 1:30. We were an hour and a half late for Sunday dinner because he had fallen asleep.
When it's HIS nights to work, he sets his alarm for 9:30 pm, always sleeps through that and starting at 10 I go in every 5 min to remind him to get up. Usually, he will finally drag ass out of bed about 1020. It's so frustrating that I try so hard to make sure HE gets up on time, but he can't do the same for me! When he's sleeping, I try to be so quiet, I don't even watch TV usually, so that he can sleep. I don't wake him up for stupid shit, like "what do you want for supper?" the way he does me. I figure if he gets hungry enough, his body will wake up, and then I can fix him something to eat or whatever. It should also be said that when he goes to sleep, he's out like a light as soon as his head hits the pillow; always been that way. We've been married 15 years and he still hasn't got it through his head that I CAN'T fall asleep that quickly. If I'm asleep inside of an hour after lying down, I consider it a miracle. So, when he wakes me up for stupid shit 5 times a day, that's at least 5 hours of sleep I'm missing out on. And he wonders why I'm so pissy all the time.
On a happier note, he DID get me the most awesome Christmas present! Two almost-front-row tickets to see Robin Williams at Brady Theater on Feb 21st, which is just two days after our anniversary! So, that will be a fun weekend. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!! I love Robin Williams! Other than the Garth concert back in 1997, this will be the best show I've ever seen.
Okay, I'm done ranting now. Merry Christmas everyone!
