So I've Been Told...

I talk in my sleep...and I guess to some extent I do remember most of these conversations or at least there are very vague recollections. I also remember most of the times that I have shoved Kruze until he is almost laying on the floor and the only thing keeping him from actually dropping from the bed are the sheets and blankets that are mercifully tangled around his hips and legs, these times I have heard bumps and thumps in the house and am positive that a stranger is lurking around. Mostly Kruze is a good sport and detangles himself from our warm bed to venture into the cold lower level of the house to chase off my imaginary burglar. There are other times though that he is just plain fed up and too tired to play along. These times I do eventually fall back asleep after realizing that if there really was a stranger in the house he probably would have gotten up to whatever monkey business he intended after the first or second hour of me laying with my eyes wide open staring at the blackness of the ceiling and listening with all of my might to see if I can hear him again.
I remember talking in my sleep and telling Kruze that I can hear voices (probably my own)and him listening very intently to the silence...and then there are times when I wake him up and then forget why I needed him to be awake...thankfully he has a good sense of humor. I have always had horrible sleep patterns, sometimes I can go for months with very little sleep...between 3 and 4 hours a night. I am sure this is due to the large amounts of coffee that I consume on a daily basis, but really, what are we if not for our vises?!!
Kruze's latest sleep disturbance...apparently I woke him out of a sound sleep to have him scratch the tip of my nose...and yes I do sort of remember this...and there was a perfectly good explanation for why I needed to wake him to scratch it!! My arms were asleep!! Both of them!!(its a horrible explanation, but I do vaguely remember feeling like the arms attached to my body belonged to someone else)He assured me that after 14 years of marriage he was happy to ablige....poor poor sleep deprived Kruze...no wonder the man is constantly complaining that he is exhausted!!
