Sleeping in the Guest Room
I had never slept in the guest room. Not in my own house anyway, but twice this week I’ve padded across the kitchen, through the house, up the stairs and cuddled up with a pillow, in our guest room, alone.
I can’t give you some lascivious story about marital drama or husbandly angst, but I can tell you that for two nights my husband has spent half our sleeping hours poking me and asking me to roll over or change positions. I’m apparently keeping him awake, poor guy.
I have a raging head cold and all that snot rattling around inside my head has created a snore train. Yes, dear readers, I’ve been snoring so loud it’s keeping the king of snore himself awake.
I’d like to report that my 2:00 AM moves to another bedroom have been completed out of a sense of decency and care so as not to bother my loving mate and to allow him a restful night’s sleep, but really I’m just tired of him poking me. The snoring doesn’t bother me at all. In fact I don’t mind a bit and have no problem sleeping right through my own noise. But all that poking? If he’s going to repeatedly brush his fingers across my side and softly whisper my name after midnight, it should be for something fun. Otherwise, I’m headed for the guest room where at least I can get a good night’s sleep.
Your hubby is the King of Snoring? Then mine is the Supreme Potentate of Snoring. This would be why I’m up right now.
I hope you feel better.

I hope you’re feeling better shortly. A snore train would have derailed me.

I get this problem when my sinuses act up. The worst is when I wake myself up with a big old SNORT. So delicate.

Go out and get yourself a vaporizer and USE it. If that doesn’t work then get some breathrite strips, they do help.
I know that Kim is sensative to smells ie: the vaporizer, but I think that he could be sensative to your needs as well. I know that you are not getting much sleep upstairs in your spare bedroom on that mattress. I know because I have been there. You can get used to it but I know what you have for a mattress on your bed so I am not trying to be mean.
Take care of that cold and be well.
Love to all

Oh and the dog picture, you are brave I would never put my head on a dogs body. to funny
Donna: Wait! In the midst of your motherly advice and note of caring, did you just say my guest room bed is crap? WHAT! I put a two inch memory-foam topper on it just for you, cause you’re so delicate and all, and I happen to think it’s quite comfortable. Maybe if you came to visit more often, I’d buy you a whole new mattress. XOXOXO
PS: the dog has a nicer chest than I do anyway.
My husband snores and I’m a light sleeper so I spend a lot of time in the guest room. I need to get a tempurpedic mattress in there. He had surgery which fixed the nasty throat gargling snoring, but the nasal noises are still pretty bad. Some nights I just give up. But then, I probably snore too. It’s just that he can sleep through it.

I have been known to flee to the other room to get a little sleep — with three kids and hubby all in one room sometimes the lonely guest bedroom is great!
Sorry about the cold — we al have it too! YUCK!!!!!

Adding insult to injury, I’d say. I’d definitely head to the guest room to avoid the poke. (Not that kind of poke, the kind you were talking about.)

Donna:
The truth is out… I know that you have been complaiing about your visits to Atlanta, but no specifics. Now I know it is the darn mattress!!!
Please feel better Tricia. Those are orders!

It was you! I’m coming down with a cold and feel like a big pile of crappola. I couldn’t figure out where I had gotten it= Mark and the kids are fine and I haven’t been around anyone else lately. *It was YOU*!!!
I’m SO deleting you from my reader.;)

J snores. But I can totally go to sleep to it and sleep through it. It reminds me he’s there next to me. Sappy, I know. In ten years, maybe I’ll be poking him and moving to the guest room.

Is Donna your mother? LOL
My first thought while reading this was….oh dear, I’m the poker in this scenario and I guess I should stop. But on second thought….HBL can sleep through ANYTHING, even being poked in the ribs and told to turn over, whereas I on the other hand, have a heck of a time going to sleep so PLEASE don’t wake me up with your snoring. Apparently I’m not using the sharp pointy finger because HBL never gets up and moves so I can have peace and quiet. Hmmm……things are about to change at this household.
Get well soon! Nothing worse than a nasty cold. Ugh…

Kim and Tricia: The matress is much better since the memory foam was added I must admitt. However long time usage on the mattress is not wonderful.That is so not why we don’t come down more.You do have to admitt that we have been down more than you want to put up with us.You know how expensice it is to come down any more that we do. If you would just move closer to all of your family you would really be sick of seeing my face, now go ahead and admitt it.
Besides I am the mother and I KNOW best.
XOXOX
We used to have a guest room and I loved going to sleep in there alone, no husband, no kids.
I may have snored on purpose to get sent there.

MHS snores too. But I can always sleep thru it. I read a Dear Abby column a long time ago about a woman who lost her husband to cancer but would give anything to hear him snoring again. When I hear MHS snore, I just thank God he is breathing. HOWEVER….when I have a cold and do the occasional snore, he is not so happy to hear me breathing and I often go off to another room to get some rest too. What’s that about!
