Where's the shotgun when you need it?

It's no secret that I'm not a big fan of early mornings. If mornings were on American Idol I definitely would not be voting for them because early mornings suck.

Even worse than Keith singing Like a Virgin.

However, worse than a normal early morning, is one where you were woken up at 4:00 AM.

To dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

It sounded almost like a dripping faucet, but I knew that wasn't the case. So I tried to ignore it. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

No such luck. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

I sat up and listened closely to see if I could figure out what it was. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

Maybe it started raining during the night and it's dripping from a tree or gutter. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

Nope, not it. Maybe there really is a leaky sink and it's flooding my 3 year supply of feminine products at this very moment.

Nope. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

I tried again just to go back to sleep. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

Then I had to go to the bathroom. With the light on. {Thanks TMM!}

Get back in the bed. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

I feel like I'm losing my mind and I may need to overdose on my new meds at this point. dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

Then I look up.

dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun...

Aha! I found the culprit!

But I still had to get up to turn it off. Ugh.

Finally, I snuggle back into my blankets and get my pillow just right.

And at that very moment I realize how much "white noise" the fan makes because S sounds like he's gagging on something with all the air he is sucking in.

LOL! Our ceiling fan has been driving me nuts lately too! Bring the shotgun over when your done with it, ok?

I have something for you on my blog too!

A pillow is much quieter and less messy than a shotgun. Just sayin'.

Hey, look at me! I'm commenting before 10:00 am my time!

Ok, but do I LOVE that you have a 3 year supply of feminine protection? I do.

That trumps the noisy fan ANYDAY.

Man, I can't stand mornings like that. Had one of those yesterday!

Amy said...

Oh but the man sucking in the air beside me would do me in...and it did last night. Pass that gun when you are done :)

LMBO.... seriously i'm laughing, it's hylerious.. because I have the EXACT problem, my fan makes this noise that irratates me IF i let it... but I turned it off one night I couldn't take it and HUBS was so loud I turned it back on. HA HA HA

Funny stuff!

have you seen the previews to PROPOSAL? I just cry laughing at that preview... good times!

The Royal Family said...

oh and thanks for providing the link of why you have to turn the light on, now i'll be turning the light on, which means i'll be more awake and not get even MORE sleep... :(

I appreciate it.

I got up twice on Monday night (Tuesday AM is more like it to check for a dripping faucet and it was g.d. ceiling fan too! Grrr.

My husband sleeps with a CPAP, which I also call "the marriage saver." But in the old days, there were times he sounded like a pterodactyl screaming. I don't miss that AT ALL!

Danyele Easterhaus said...

that just made my day...

Jennifer said...

LOL! I know exactly what you mean! My husband sweats like nobody's business, so we always have to sleep with a fan on... except in the winter. And what a coincidence that that is the time of year that I don't sleep. No fan = I don't sleep. The log sawing keeps me up 24/7!

Thanks for stopping by yesterday!

now that is funny. I would love to ignore all mornings -however they arrest you if your kids miss school too much and since the bus comes at 7 am....yeah - I am up (at least in body)

Jen said...

I need that shot gun when you are done. ;)

mommakin said...

Mornings after nights like that are so rough...

Julie said...

I can SO relate! I'm getting in line for the gun.

Shannon said...

I'm a very light sleeper. It sucks!

Shane snores, too. I really don't know how he doesn't have bruises all over his shins, the way I kick him all night long, trying to get him to stop snoring!!!

Michael always teases me about my spider man hearing. One night I had him investigate a sound. It turned out it was the "fizz" of my contact lenses being cleaned!

Cathy said...

Yes, I needed mine tonight.. I was trying to sleep (downstairs) and everyone plated jump to the kitchen for ice cream so I went upstairs..where the neighboring orchard decide to use the bird bang decoy..whatever it is.. so I didn't get any sleep. I have til 8 am to suffer then I will die in bed..

Hate early mornings myself.

Um...you keep a 3 year supply of feminine products under your counter?
