Sleep, sweet sleep

Sleep, it is one of my most favorite hobbies in the world. And yet, it's the one hobby I get to do the least of. That's just so wrong.






Last night we had a nasty thunderstorm go through our area. The thunder would crash/bang so loudly that it made your teeth rattle.

Ringo is TERRIFIED of thunderstorms, absolutely terrified! He shakes, pants, whines, whimpers, paces, drools and his heart races. Gabby isn't much better, but a little. Molly doesn't like them and she did shake a little bit, but she wasn't trying to crawl inside my shirt to hide like Ringo and Gabby were. LOL

I was up from 3:00-4:30am with them. I sat out in the living room so they wouldn't keep Jay awake. Just about the time I'd start to nod off, BANG! there'd be another loud clap of thunder and poor Ringo would be climbing all over me whining and yelping.

I finally crawled back into bed and felt like I had just fallen asleep when Jay's alarm went off at 5:30. Normally he would just hit the snooze and then take the time to shut if off, but for some reason the snooze wouldn't work and he couldn't get it shut off. On any other morning I might have found it funny, but not today. It nearly threw me right out of bed!

He kept apologizing and finally got it shut off, so I went back to sleep.


When my alarm went off at 6:00, I smacked the snooze so fast that I'm sure it didn't know what happened! Now this morning I am so tired, but have a lot to do. I'm hoping to get it done fairly quickly so that maybe I can get a little nap in this afternoon. If not, I'm getting caffeine pumped in by an IV. LOL
