A Night at the Opera

Yes baby and I have been enjoying several nights at the Opera recently...

...But like the Transformers, there's more to it than meets the eye!

We enjoy it late night, while in silent and peaceful slumber, when we're suddenly and rudely awakened by the hubby's snoring sonatas ranging in every octave detectable by the human ear!

It's becoming intolerable, so much so that instead of me usually escaping, retreating away and sleeping on the sofa in our living room, I feel I should stay with baby in bed, since I'm the lighter sleeper between us, so its safer for me to be there, so instead, one night, even though I felt awful, I had to do it. I kicked him out of bed onto the sofa.

I felt bad in the morning, so I apologized and haven't kicked him out since. But it's just so much more complicated now, since before, all I had to do was nudge him, kick him, roll him over, or simply yell at him to stop snoring! But now, baby sleeps in between us, so I can no longer do any of those things in fear of waking baby up, so I have to actually get up from my comfy sleeping positions, and reach over and extend all the way over baby to the hubby, in some sly ninja style so baby won't wake up and wake the hubby up - and we've also developed our own sign language to communicate ever so silently, calmly, politely and eloquently, "STOP %#&*@!# SNORING and ROLL the $%#@ OVER!"

So in actuality, my exhaustion and fatigue are really in no part due to baby, as other parents may experience. Actually, our baby is a great sleeper. He sleeps well through the night and gives mommy plenty of time to rest and have a good night's sleep. Nope, my tiredness is all due to the hubby. I've lost way more hours of sleep cause of him, than due to baby. But lets face it, I'm not about to rock the hubby to sleep while playing Greenday and Bob Marley lullabies (those are babie's faves!), and I can't give the hubby a bottle or a binky to soothe him, so I'm at a loss.

Looks like baby and I will have many nights at the opera ahead of us. At least the real one has an intermission.
