I'm Up Early!

[Janet]

I woke up at 3:30 A.M. this morning, one thing, ssshhh I had to go potty, the other was hubby was snoring his fool head off again! At a little after 4 A.M. I decided to get up, let the dogs out and brush and comb them before I start doing anything else. It's still early, only 5 A.M.

I'm ready to start putting food together, but it's way to early yet.

Hope you all have a great day!!!

[Mandy]

Oops that is early! URGHhhhh i'm so with you on the snoring, it's driving me nuts lately :rolleyes:

Have a great day Janet, enjoy every minute of it! :thumbup:

[rivermom]

You were up early Janet - But just think, i bet the house was all nice and peaceful this time of morning.

I am up early too....It's sooo quiet and loving it.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Wish I could eat of some of this wonderful food you are preparing!!

[DianaB]

I didn't get up early because I was up too late last night with baking and laundry. I still have some stuff to do this morning but my husband is helping me out with the last minute details.

Gina - my Mom sent me this pic in a email. I thought it was cute too. :)

Janet - I'm still thinking about those deviled eggs you made days ago. Those are one of my absolute fav's! :o

Diana - No laundry ever should be done on a holiday weekend. What were you thinking?! LOL :rolleyes:

Mandy - cotton balls stuffed up hubby's nose might take care of that snoring. :D

[Mandy]

O-M-G Sheryl, this is freaky hahahaha.... while i was mopping floors for the second time after we spoke, i was walsing the mop around mumbling to myself "gonna stuff cotton balls up ur nose tonight"

A girl needs to sleep ya know? Ahhhh well... maybe we have to have that extra drink :D

[Janet]

Did I miss something? Mandy is your husband snoring too? I'd like to stick more than cotton balls up my hubby's nose.

I have been going through the NON sleeping thing. Go to bed about midnight and some times get back up at 2 or 3am. It kills me during the day, cant think straight. I will do that for a few nights and then fall smooth out when I do go out. I completely understand the not sleeping thing. But, I have to admit I do enjoy the quiet time, which is something I rarely get around here with 3 kids, a hubby 2 dogs and 5 cats!!!:eek: :eek:

Isn't that non sleeping thing a pain? There are times when I sleep like a baby (other than hubby snoring). Then there will be a week to two weeks of waking up at 3 or 4 and not being able to go back to sleep. Not sure what causes it, but I sure don't like it.

[DianaB]

I have nights that I wake up alot but I go right back to sleep. Sorry that some of you have nights that you have trouble sleeping and are up. I need my sleep bad enough that I'm never up but my husband has started getting up at about 4:00 or earlier. I think that the reason is stress. The flood sure didn't help his stress levels.

[katepoet]

I have to get the sleep issue beat if I am going to go to an office 40 hours a week. The supplements I take help. I am going to try to add in changing the times at which I eat to a more regular schedule. I think that might help.

My MD gave me a scrip for Ambien early in the year - talk about nightmares!!

[DianaB]

I read once about a technique to help you fall asleep. You are suppose to think of a beautiful, serene place. Then you're suppose to slowly count with each breath backwards starting at 100. It's suppose to occupy each side of your brain and let you relax and go to sleep. It works for me.

[katepoet]

I'll have to give that a try. I have done both separately but not together. Thanks!

Diana has your hubby gone for a good health check recently? With the flood and all, stress, you know, it might be a good idea to get a good once over. Would he go if you asked him?

[AngieDoogles]

Janet, I feel your pain, but it isn't my hubby keeping me awake. It's Marty!!! He steals my pillow every night and I feel bad disturbing his sleep so I just scoot down on the bed and try to sleep without one. LOL

[katepoet]

I cans end you a spare pillow, Angie!

[Janet]

You poor girl!! We sure spoil these babies don't we? Now you go get your Christmas list and add 'pillow' to it, okay! Joey always sleeps between my legs or at the foot of the bed we have this bench with a pillow on it. Sometimes he will sleep there.

I had sleeping issues for years - since I was a kid even. A couple years ago I just got to the point of not being able to handle it anymore. I am now on Ambian. Works like a charm. A few of the side affects is memory loss and eating in your sleep. I experience both these. I've really noticed my memory has slipped and I wake up at times with snacks on my nightstand. (crumbs stuck to my lips) None of which though have bothered me enough to stop taking it. I NEED my sleep. :rolleyes:

[katepoet]

What great side affects! That eating one belongs in fiction!

[DianaB]

Those are odd side effects. I need something with the side effect of exercising strenously while in deep sleep! Maybe someone should invent a pill like that!!!!!!

[DianaB]

Diana has your hubby gone for a good health check recently? With the flood and all, stress, you know, it might be a good idea to get a good once over. Would he go if you asked him?

He was at the doctor the other day to have a spot taken off of his face and everything seemed to be fine. They checked his blood pressure and blood sugars and they were in the proper ranges.

He's trying to figure out whether to buy a $87.000 combine. He's never spent that much money on equipment before but in buying something cheaper it means that he'd have to do more repairs. He just gets up and reads his Bible when he can't sleep and considers it a productive time. It's hard for me to advise him because I really don't know how our finances are and what payments are on the other stuff. He handles all of that stuff.

[katepoet]

I'll take some of that exercise side effect, Diana. Bottle it up and send it out when you find it.

Wouldn't that be wonderful...I would be looking totally good!!! LOL:D

Heaven forbid something would ever happen to him Diana, but you need to be more involved with the money. You would have enough to deal with without trying to learn the finances. Just a word of caution.

Ohhh...so that's where my memory went! I have never had a good memory, but now it's gotten worse. Luckily, I don't really care. The Ambien is a godsend though. I sleep like a baby. My gyno talked me into it about 5 years ago. She said the no sleeping thing is pre, during and post-menopause related and there's no reason to suffer. I'm all for that philosophy.
