A New Phase in Life

By -
Phase 1:


Girl falls in love. Girl gets married. Girl finds out that her new husband snores. LOUDLY. Girl spends most of her newlywed nights sleeping on the couch, trying to get away from the noise.


This hurts the Boy's feelings. Girl eventually gets used to the noise and can now sleep in the same room with Boy.





Phase 2:


Boy is having a lot of trouble sleeping. Boy gets a sleep study done. The test showed that the Boy stopped breathing 125 times per hour. The Girl is scared. The Boy gets a CPAP machine.
This machine blows contines oxygen into his face so that he can breathe througout the night. This is a picture of Boy showing Girl what she will sleep next to for the rest of her life.
Boy is really excited about this machine. Boy is ready to have a good night's sleep. Boy is ready not to be tired all day. Boy says that in the morning he will jump out of bed and be refreshed. Girl is a little nervous about sleeping next to "Darth Vadar". Girl is happy that Boy is happy.

Boy sleeps peacefully.

Girl sleeps peacefully. There is NO MORE LOUD SNORING!

Girl has a miracle!

This is hilarious! Nice writing and excellent pictures! Someday I hope to sleep snore free as well! I totally remember how it was when you first got married. You sent me a tape when I was on my mission and you recorded him snoring while whispering to me in the hallway!

Where can I get one of those for my bed buddy? The miracle, for me, would be getting him to admit he snores and worse, stops snoring while I count one one thousand, two one thousand...until he breathes/snores again. But he insists he does not snore. I am the one who was falling asleep during the day. Maybe sleeping somewhere else is a good solution since he does not snore.

I am a very light sleeper and my worst fear is I will marry someone who snores. I was already planning on a lucy/dezi resolution i.e. separate sleeping arrangement just in case I do marry a snorer. Now I have hope!

Once I realized that I was going to have snore free nights, I was overjoyed! What I didn't count on though was my children. On Sunday Night (Mon. morning) all three of them decided that 4 AM would be a great time to wake up. Monday night, Hunter snuck into our bed for half the night until I took him back to his bed. The other half of the night Cannon was up every two hours until I let him sleep with us. Audrey actually stayed in her bed and only cried once. This brings me to last night. 11:00 PM I turn out the lights and go to bed, thinking to myself that Cannon will probably be up in an hour. 12:00 AM Cannon wakes up. I feed him. 1:00 AM I wake up, slumped over with Cannon still in my arms to Audrey screaming. I quickly put Cannon back in his bed and go see Audrey. She is standing up with her blanket and sippy, has already said "good bye" to binky and is ready to get out of bed. I bring her back to bed with me. 2:00 AM Fight with Audrey about the covers (she...
