Midnight Thoughts

Losing my first son has put things into perspective, reorganized my priorities, made me appreciate my second son even more, and strengthened my relationship with my husband. It has not, however, made the husband's snoring any more endearing. Dear god, when will it end? And how can my son sleep through it? I may need to take him for a hearing test.

And there, in a nutshell, you have described why I was tossing and turning and considering smothering my husband last night.

I envy you (although not for the snoring). So many families are torn apart by the loss of a child...

Yeah, sometimes the idea of separate bedrooms is very tempting.

Doesn't he stop if you hit him...i mean, poke him gently to change his position? Mine does. If it's really bad, he should be checked for sleep apnea (this runs in our family, which is why i think of it)

oh god do i sympathize! going through the hell of cancer has brought wb and i even closer (pressure cooker for relationships, and ours seems to be cooking prefectly) but it has yet to make the snoring vene mildly bearable, forget about endearing! i wear the highest decibel blocking earplugs they sell in the drugstore and WB wears snore strips and still i have not slept without waking up every hour in the entire year we've been together.i wish i had hopeful words to give (or that you had some for me) but all i can say is "ahhhhhhhhhh"
