Miscellaneous Musings
filed in Just a rant on Feb.01, 2010
I think it’s kinda sad that my husband of 21 yrs has forgotten my birthday once and can’t remember something I tell him 5 minutes later….but….he remembers evvvvery lions name…every cheetah’s name….every storyline…on BIG CAT DIARY. Same thing with Meercat Manor.
Truly……bizarre.
*******************************************************************
You know…I have a routine that I thoroughly enjoy. I go to bed around 10 every night. I like to relax and watch a tv show in peace and quiet. I like to be able to fall asleep listening to the t.v. Shane usually goes to bed around 12. Now….when a certain someone breaks this routine for me, it throws me completely off. The past two nights I’ll catch him around 9:30 yawning in his recliner. “Oh no”…I think to myself….”I hope to God he isn’t going to bed early”. And….sure enough he does.
Now, if he just went to sleep… it wouldn’t be bad. But he’s gotta put some stupid sports show on…and toss and turn. COMPLETELY ruins my serenity. Last night was especially horrible. I don’t know what the heck this man ate but he gets all comfortable and announces….”Oh no!…I can’t stop it…Take cover!”
I gave him the death glare. “If you are gonna fart you better just leave the room now”.
“Too late”.
If the smell could be seen it would be like that green death smoke in the movie The Ten Commandments”….slowly winding it’s way to my FACE. I almost suffocated myself trying to cover my nose and mouth with my blankie. Then….he starts this thing….actually, I started it months ago….I’ll whisper someones name and then pretend I didn’t. Yeah, I know…2nd grade, but whatever. Anyhow, at what is now 11pm I here him whisper….”Sheilaaaaa”.
“Stop it and go to sleep damnit.”
“What, I didn’t say anything.”
“Yes you did now shut the hell up and go to sleep”
((6 times later))
“STOP IT YOU JACKASS!”
“I didn’t do it! It’s my nose making noises….I’m talking out of my nose”
“Well, I suppose that is possible. You are, after all able to talk out of your ASSsssss.”
I then rolled over with my heavy eyelids and burnt nose hairs and said….this reminds me of sleepovers when I was a kid. There was always that one person at 5am….when everyone else was drifting off to sleep….that couldn’t SHUT THERE TRAP. Yep, it’s like that.

Omg. NOTHING is worse than sports programming, unless it would be one of those extremely loud and frantic game shows. And then the rest… yickkkkkkk! Sounds like your sanctuary and your comfy routine have been co-opted. But I like your sense of humor!
On a partly related note: I hate weekend tv. There is nothing but sports and explosions. It’s a wasteland. I hate it.

Funny how different the story would have been if you were only married 3 months! It would have been like…” And I go to bed at 10 just hoping that the Hubby follows me. I have a hard time being in bed alone while he is out watching the tv! I miss the smell of his farts!! LOL!” (Well, maybe not the fart part)

I’d say that’s delightful, but really it just isn’t. (smile) I giggled as I read it, though, and offered up a silent “thank you!” that I get to sleep alone most nights. Now, there are certainly times when I’d trade that in for a steamy night of unstoppable passion, but recognizing that most long-term couples would love their own bed from time to time, I give thanks for what I have.
Let’s hope tonight smells better, and is more peaceful for everyone involved.
Love & joy to you!

I have the same ritual like you. I set my sleep timer on and off I go. Since my hubs is on the road most of the time I have no problem, but when he’s home and he decides to come to bed at the same time it takes me forever to fall asleep to his shows.

My problem is the exact opposite, well, we both have the gassy husband problem, but the other problem is that my husband insists I go to bed with him at the same time, but then he wants to go right to sleep, no lights, no tv. What the hell, dude? I want to read, or watch tv or play on the computer for a while. Every. Single. Night. We go through this. I’m starting to think the whole separate bedrooms idea isn’t such a bad one.

That’s why couples sleep together. Because if the relationship can survive that it can survive anything.

This one of those things that is funny ONLY because it didn’t happen to me.
What is it with guys and remembering silly facts but not the all important everything we say?
