what I did this weekend
Yesterday, I laid down to rest while Wade took the boys to get a movie. You know, just for a minute or so.
I woke up three and a half hours later. I spent the entire time I was sleeping having the same dream over and over: I was various places (the beach, the mountains, behind the wheel of my car) and could NOT keep my eyes open because I was so tired, despite the fact that falling asleep would mean IMMEDIATE DEATH (by drowning, falling, or crashing) for me and my kids.
Apparently, I was tired. And stressed out. Go figure.
After I woke up, in the inevitable bad mood (napping makes me crabby–remember that if you ever think DUDE IT WOULD BE SO FUN TO GO ON VACATION WITH SUSAN!) I agreed to go look at furniture, for the new house. Which also makes me crabby, although I don’t know why.
And we took the kids. To Ethan Allan! CRABBY! SO VERY CRABBY!
Wade has been insisting that we need to get a SOLD sign in the yard; he is threatening to make one himself if I don’t call the realtor and ask for a proper one. In return, I am threatening to tape a FOR SALE sign on the back of his suit when he leaves for work tomorrow. Every time a car slows down in front of the house he yells, “SOMEONE ELSE IS LOOKING AT THE HOUSE! Should I run outside and tell them it’s SOLD?”
And I say, “Yes, but tell them they can take YOU home with them.”
I think I need to go back to bed.

I hate the “so tired I’m falling asleep in my own dream” dream. It’s more stressful than staying awake!

hahaha… “they can take you home instead”
Any takers yet?

I get crabby after naps too.
I hope your sold sign goes up soon. Good luck.

Naps have always made me really depressed. Why? Who knows? Ironically, I just woke up from a two hour nap.
Congrats on selling your house!

Me too! I’m grouchy when I wake up from a nap. What’s the deal with that? Low blood sugar?
Anywaz, congrats on selling your house. That was quick!

And another thing… thanks for posting even though you are so very busy!

Hunh, I’m always very happy when I wake up from a nap.
I know! We can go on vacation together and you can watch the kids while *I* nap!
bonus!
Hope you can find good furniture and a great house to put it in soon!

Yay! I always get depressed after I wake up from a long nap as well. I am so happy to see that it’s normal! Or, at least if it’s NOT normal, there are plenty of other nap-freaks out there

It sounds like somebody is a little sick.
I am so damn happy you didn’t take a nap in Kansas City. So. Damn. Happy.
But, really, you were so lovely about the whole airport thing. At least, you were quiet. I couldn’t really see your face.

Shopping makes me crabby too. Thankfully there is the Internet. Although, shopping for furniture online is worse than going in person.
