My head hit the pillow  at 10:30 and I was out like a light.

I woke up at 2 from a very strange dream about an 80 year old woman trying to run us off the road.

I couldn’t really fall back asleep.

Then I could hear the tarp on our deck (that is currently covering all our summer deck stuff) moving about. I immediatelythought someone was on our deck moving the tarp around looking for things to steal. I then realized the probability of that was very slim. I listened more and then realized we were in the middle of a wind storm. The whole building shook.

I dozed in an out of sleep but the sound of the trap was so loud I was going mental.

By 4am I felt crazy. The wind would not stop. Things were flapping around everywhere, and that Mother effing tarp WOULD NOT STOP MOVING.

Then I heard my phone beeping. I tried to ignore it, but with the wind, and the tarp, I couldn’t.

Check phone. Txt message from Rogers as to what my account balance is. Thanks Rogers, you read my mind. At 4am I was desperate to know WHAT MY FRIGGING ACCOUNT BALANCE WAS!

Serenity now. Serenity now.

While I was up I check out the deck. Crap everywhere. Tarp about. Wasn’t in the mood to fix any of it.

I go back to bed, where Chad was tossing and turning. I wrap my head in a blanket, fashion a breathing hole, snuggle up next to him and manage to pass out for about an hour, only to be woken up again by another dream.

This time we were in a parking lot at night and wild animals started to come out. A black panther was the first thing we saw, so we hoped in the car to protect ourselves. As we drove away the panther started to attack a rhino. There was a panda bear with her cubs off to the side, and a bull that came out of no where. The bull started to chase up and ram his horns into the car. We we OK until he came around the front and smashed in so hard that he pierced Chad right in his abdomen twice. I knew Chad was going to die from this and then I woke up sweating. Great. I love dreams like this!

Clearly this was not the best night of sleep for two very exhausted people. Thankfully I am not too out of it today.

Tonight Chad is staple gunning the mother friggin tarp to the floor if he has to. I am NOT listening to that again!

Frustration alert.

In other news, this week looks a little more free then last, so it will be back to your regular scheduled programming.

    WOW! Sounds like a rough night. Drink some warm milk and snuggle, that always helps me fall asleep. Hope tonight is better!
