I know that I’ve been doing some serious writing on here recently, but I thought today I might attempt to make you giggle.
Husband-Man is a champion sleeper. He can sleep on boats, planes, cars, you name it. He also falls asleep quickly. So quickly that in our almost three years of marriage, I have gotten used to being the last one to fall asleep every night. He is also not a night person. He starts to move in slow motion after 10:00 PM, and at 11:00 PM, he’s sleepy enough that I ask him to tell me all of his secrets (he doesn’t ever have any).
One night, about two and a half months ago, Husband-Man and I were getting ready to sleep, and were playing with our respective electronic devices. I needed a drink of water, and went down to the kitchen to get myself a glass. I brought it back upstairs with me, and found Husband-Man fast asleep in bed. After one minute. He was out cold.
Confession time: I like to pull pranks on people. And Husband-Man was a prime target. He gets a really funny expression on his face when he’s startled awake. So, as any good wife would do, I decided to scare him. I jumped on him, and was very satisfied with the momentary look of terror on his face. I wish I had taken a picture of it. What was less than satisfying was the pain I felt in my right wrist upon landing in the bed. I sprained my wrist.
I’m planning on sharing more about the recovery process in the next few days, but it has involved x-rays, MRIs, and physical therapy. I try to focus this blog on finding and sharing the deeper meaning of what’s going on in every day life, but sometimes, I can’t find a deep meaning in it. I just have to trust that God has orchestrated things according to a plan that I can’t see.
And, I have a sneaking suspicion that He’s had a good laugh at how I injured myself just like my physical therapist has. Have a good Tuesday, everyone!
Hahahahahahaha!!! That is adorable! I agree – God is probably chuckling 🙂

Now that I’ve lived in the South for a while, I can see Him chuckling, patting my head and saying “bless your little heart”. 😀

That is HILARIOUS! In our marriage, I’m the sleeper. Ben could totally get away with murder while I sleep. (Which is amazing that I always hear baby girl in the middle of the night and he doesn’t…interesting.) This mental image I have is hilarious.

Glad you got a chuckle out of it 🙂
I’ve actually read aricles (like this one http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1231896/When-Daddy-goes-deaf-How-men-really-DONT-hear-babies-crying-asleep.html) that discuss how women are hardwired to hear a baby cry.
I think that when it’s our turn, I’ll be the one woken up 🙂
