Wanna get something by me? Tell me at 1am.....

My husband and I work opposite schedules. He waits tables from 11-2:30ish every weekday and I am a secretary at a tutoring center from 3-7 Monday through Thursday. When I get home around 7:15, Daniel is preparing to leave for job #2 (night supervisor in Union's library) from 8pm-12:30am....needless to say, we don't see too terribly much of each other during the week.

When D gets home around 12:45am, he wakes me up and attempts to carry on a conversation with me. I'm thinking that he will, at some point, realize that this is rather useless and simply be content with a sleepy smile and an "I'm glad you're home honey." At this point, he will ask me something and receive a "hmph" or a "huh" in response. I try so hard to wake up, really I do, it's just sooo comfy in my warm bed and....my....pillow.....zzzz........

Anyway, it does lead to rather interesting dreams and confusing memories in the morning ("Did you tell me such and such last night or did I imagine that??") The other night, he ran in smelling like smoke and yelling "I think something's on FIRE!" I replied, "Really? Wow...that's...hmmm....yea...zzzz" About 2 seconds later (In my twilight zone drifting minutes seem like seconds and hours minutes) he came flying back in saying, "Woah, Longhorn steakhouse is on fire! It's burning to the ground!"

The next night (during our 45 minutes of together time) we were at Moe's, happily muching on funkmeister tacos and all you can eat chips and salsa (tomatilla! yessss) when our good friend Cali says, "Hey, we should drive over and look at the remains of Longhorn." It all came flooding back like a distant memory. Seriously, my days just run together with my dreamlike nights now....but it does make for something (mildly) interesting to blog about :)

I am really excited for this weekend. We will be spending time together (woo!) with our friends the French's and the Campbell's, great brothers and sisters in the Lord whom we love and miss dearly. Also, we are having a Thanksgiving meal with our church family at Pleasant Plains...did I mention how much I love them?

I pray that your weekend is full of the presence of Christ and the joy of the Spirit...and memories that will last :)

  1. Haha - Looking forward to getting more of these kinds of stories! I love "sleep talking" tales.

    In other news, Longhorn in Jackson? Is that the one that burned down? What happened?
