A SNORING STORY

Okay, here is a secret you don't know about my family or myself....


Snoring is pretty common in my house.

Yes, my lovely hubby snores. Quite frankly I find the sound relaxing, sometimes, but have been told that that will change the longer we are married, lol! I, of course, snore. Husband says its a "sexy snore". Hahahahaha. You gotta love him!

I come from a long line of snorers and remember that my granny got surgery once or twice to stop her snoring. Nevertheless, my snoring barometer is measured by a close friend's father whose snoring was legendary. His own wife once said that when her husband's family were all under one roof, the very foundation of the house would shake! Trust me, me and mine have not reached that level. =)

But, I have now discovered that TE has a little snoring problem. It was cute at first, but now it really worries me. She is only 4 and her doctor says she is simply congested and suffering from allergies of some sort. She prescribed some medication which worked, but I prefer the kids take medication for serious issues. Snoring, in my opinion, is not serious. Nor are her 'allergies' because they do not interfere in her daily activities and thus, she should not be medicated for them.

Anyway, as I tried to sleep a couple nights ago in our hotel room (remember, the family took a little trip) I couldn't help but hear all the snoring going on. Even TK, who had played heavily all day was in on the snoring action. The guy own na wa! It was deep and I am not sure where it came from considering his little body, but if you hear the deep base that boy has when he speaks, maybe it is possible. The only non-snorer was Bomboy. Thank goodness! Maybe he might not have inherited the snoring gene that seems to be going around these parts, lol!

But, did I tell you why I was awake and listening to the snoring breathing of my beloved family members?

Um....

Uh...

It is a little embarrasing...

Well, okay I will confess. After all most of you don't know me and for those of you that do, if you ever bring this up, I will never talk to you again!!!!

Yeah, um, I was awakened by my own snoring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I know it is extremely embarassing but look, the truth will set you free, shebi? Besides, I had been travelling for almost 18 hours lugging cranky kids and working on less than 3 hours sleep. So what if my snoring got so loud that I jumped up in the bed, thinking someone was breaking into the room!!!!

And yes, my hubby found it all rather hilarious and won't let me live it down, so you might as well, too!

But, watch, you will see. In a few years from now, some scientists will reveal that we snorers are some of humanities most enlightened and world changing individuals! The snoring gene will be indicative of higher intelligence and ...

Oh, who am I kidding? I cannot believe I woke myself up - from snoring!

*covers face in semi-shame, after all you don't really know me*

lol!!!!!!

Season's Greetings to you all and as you travel for the holidays or work, get as much rest as possible so you don't end up like me thinking there is an intruder when the sound you hear is nothing but your own snoring!

And that is my Snoring story! No more embarrasing revelations from me for at least another 12 months!

God bless!

PS: I know this is late, but please join me in thanking God that fellow blogger Doja's nephew was returned to her family safe and sound after being kidnapped in Port. Read her posts about it and see how officers of the Nigerian Police took advantage of her family by extorting from them in a bid to fulfil their obligations. God have mercy, but I am thankful for that family's blessing this end of year.
