Tiredness – 479, 678, 432

Patti – 0

I am so on the losing side of this equation. I AM SO TIRED! It’s unbelievable…

I wanted to watch the Canucks game last night. I figured I was in trouble when I sat down and immediately started nodding off. I have never been able to fall asleep in any place other than a bed, and usually not until it’s bedtime….like close to midnight! I managed to hold on for the first period with minimal problems. Then I took a shower in between periods. When I came back to the game, I kept nodding off and then doing that startle awake thing. I decided that SUCKED, and so I rested my head on a pillow.

Jon looked over and said, “Why don’t you just go to bed?”

I told him that I really wanted to watch the game. I made it to the end of the 2nd period in an on and off state. I don’t remember anything after the 3rd period started. I got up when the announcer made some comment about it being over, and I had no idea who had won or lost or what had happened – NO CLUE! I mumbled something about going to bed now, and would Jon make sure the house was shut down. That is the last thing I remember until 3:48am.

I woke up ’cause I had to pee. I had slept like a rock until then. After that I tossed and turned and thrashed until 8:40am when I finally got up. This morning Jon was laughing at me, and mentions that I should have just gone to bed when he first said so. When I repeated myself that I had really wanted to watch the game, He just laughed and asked how it was.

Well, I don’t remember, really!

Hmmm, Could that have anything to do with the fact that you slept through the whole 3rd period.

No, I didn’t!

Yup, snoring and everything.

I was not snoring.

Okay, you weren’t snoring, but you were sure breathing heavy.

Great! Gotta love the heavy breathing!

Then, this afternoon while coming home from baby Jonathan’s dedication. I kept nodding off in the car. I never sleep in cars, but for some reason – I can’t seem to keep my eyes open. Oh, Well…..

In other news…..We have a piano!

I have wanted a piano forever. My parents had one while we were growing up, and all of us kids were just a little annoyed that my parents sold it when they downsized. Not that we had the cash to buy it from them, but they should have just willed it to someone. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but I still wanted one. I didn’t figure that I’d be getting one any time soon. Geli had prayed about a piano, and was very confident that she’d get one soon. Yah, we don’t even have the money to buy you new clothes, (No sweetheart, those pants look very cool. “Floods” are “in” these days!) how are we going to buy a piano?

Jon got a call last week, and someone was selling their house, and if we wanted the piano, we had to pick it up the next day. Wow, Uh….Okay! Now we just have to figure out how to get pick it up and get it back here. It was about an hour away from us. Well, my dad and my youngest brother helped out, and as of Thurday February the 2nd about noon – WE HAVE A PIANO! We are getting it tuned on Friday and I’m so excited. Geli is thrilled, and is just a sponge. I need to get her some beginner books, but I think that if her interest level stays where it’s at, she’ll need lessons, beyond what I can give her, very soon.
