Round and Around

As most of us do, I started the day with good intentions to complete plenty of things on my internal combustion's "To Do" list.  Allowed hubby to snore away part of the morning.  Can't remember when last he had a good night's sleep.  To be honest, I can't remember when I did either - but that's not surprising since I don't remember much anyway.  I do seem to have a hazy recall of a child coughing in my ear all night and the terrible reverberations of the bed, floor, walls, window and door as DH snored.  I had to hold on tight or I would have been blasted off the bed and out the door.  As for my ears - ouch.  They are still ringing.  I'm smiling though.  I have some great new ear-plugs to use tonight.  The only thing that stood between us and the divorce courts were lovely pink wax ear plugs which I used up to now and ran out of last night.  I did consider kicking DH without any ceremony right off the bed as my daughter did to her DH, but it only put paid to his snoring while he recovered from his fall off the bed, found his bearings and the pillow and started snoring again.  Did you know that snoring can reach the level of a noisy vacuum cleaner right next to your ear or the decibels of a high-powered jack-hammer drill - the kind they use to break up roads, etc?

Tonight, my ears are in for a treat - can't wait to open the little box containing my brand-new re-usable and washable ear-plugs.  (By the way, DH has told me that I ALSO snore - can you believe such a thing??  I mean, pleeeeeese.....).  (Oh-oh, I do remember my daughter being woken up by a loud noise in the middle of the night when I was visiting, creeping down the passage with a firearm and then finding out it was her mother....but sh..sh...don't tell my husband).

 

Where was I?  Oh yes, going round and around all day trying to do things and being interrupted.  Eventually, sat down and watched some TV and a woman was saying she had ADD and had to keep a written "To Do" list next to her all day and mark it off as she went along.  Perhaps lack of sleep can cause ADD.  I'll write out a list before I hit the sack tonight and see where it leads me tomorrow...
