Nap or bust...

You know you are tired when you lay down at 6:30pm for an hour nap and forget to wake up.

The Man and I just finished bird netting the strawberries. I’ve only had those strawberries in for 4 years and have gotten MAYBE 6 berries. Damn birds and bugs. So The Man netted them very nicely, way better than I would have, I was just going to keep the old netting bunched up and throw it on top of the box and maybe pin it all down with fencing or something. That’s me. NOT The Man.

He has me help stretch out the netting which has GOT to be like 20 feet long. He picks all the old leaves and twigs out of it. He puts up stakes to keep the netting off the plants so that the birds can’t land on it and peck thru it anyway. He stakes it all down and even puts rocks on the back of the box so they can’t get in thru the other fence. I’m impressed, seriously, even though I’m standing there with my “pooping stare” going on.

“Go to bed, I’ll wake you up in an hour or so” he says to me. I’m thinking he’s worried that he’s going to have to untangle me from the bird netting when I fall over into it! It’s pretty sad when they just look at you and know what’s really going on, what all your faces mean.

So I head into bed. Ahhh. Quiet, cool, lovely bed! I set the alarm for an hour and 20 minutes. I gotta get up to watch American Idol and Bones you know. An hour later, The Man joins me. Ok, 20 minutes to snuggle and spoon.

He shut off the alarm and I promptly fell back to sleep. I figured he’d get up and be wiggling the bed. The bed didn’t move until I looked at the clock. 12:30am. SHIT!

No wonder I’m hungry! I drag myself out of bed so I can eat a bowl of cereal, The Man, of course, has jumped out of bed and I believe he thinks we are going to stay up! Ha! He’s feeding the animals, doing all the stuff we do BEFORE we go to bed for the night. I’m NOT staying up the rest of the night damn it…

Ok, so we watched The Matrix Reloaded. Love being up that late at night on a work night, all the GOOD movies are on. I tried to find out who got eliminated from AI, and of course, they must be keeping it a secret or something, ‘cuz it’s nowhere on the net. I know it was LaKisha, bummer. Saw it this morning on the internet. I so liked her, even though she had a crappy week.

At 2am, I look over and notice that The Man is almost asleep on the couch. *sigh* “Let’s go to bed babe” and I help him off the couch. I take my nighttime cold meds so I can sleep without waking up coughing or choking, and feel nice a foggy in the morning and early afternoon.

So much for a short, recharging nap. We’re stupid.
