Goodbye to peaceful sleep

Shortmama has a link up, and today's topic is....What have you had to say goodbye to?

Welllll...glad she asked. I have had to say goodbye to peaceful nights of sleep on occasion. Sometimes it's because my dog whines in the middle of the night and is barking at something in her sleep. Sometimes it's my son saying he is thirsty..that boy could drink me out of house and home, he is ALWAYS thirsty. I seriously don't know how he isn't attached to the toilet 24/7 with how much he drinks.

But the biggest reason that I occasionally say goodbye to peaceful nights of sleep would be because of my husband. The man talks in his sleep sometimes. Sometimes he talks about moving rock piles from one place to another, he is a plant manager for a rock crushing industry. One time he got up and walked to the end of the bed and was talking some kind of jibberish, I couldn't distinguish what he was saying. But he finally crawled back into bed. And just last night, he sat up quickly in bed and said "they took the flag". I knew that he was dreaming about a game that he plays on the computer. He had a whole conversation with me when I was asking him what he was doing and if he was still dreaming. And he was not talking nicely when I asked him this stuff. I thought about pushing his butt off of the bed, but then decided to just turn over and ignore him...I didn't want him to attack if he didn't wake up after the fall.

  2. I can relate- my husband talks in his sleep in Spanish (which I am not fluent in); our 9 year old daughter talks and walks in her sleep! I used to walk in my sleep as a child but I eventually grew out of it. I think...

  3. Benny does the same thing and when I don't understand him, he gets all pissy. It usually just cracks me up.

  4. My husband has taken to letting me go to bed 30 minutes before him, so that I am sound asleep before he comes in and snores like a freight rain.

  9. I for one, think it's freakin hilarious when my husband talks in his sleep. He's always beggin for his life because someone is always trying to kill him. Weird.

  10. It sounds as if a lot of husband do this, cause mine does too! He always says funny things like, "Hmm, hmm, that's what I'm talking about", and the next day, I'm all like, "I'd LIKE to know what you were dreaming about, cause it was obviously enjoyable", *wink*.
