different sleeping arrangements

Randy slept in the guest room for the first time since we've been married. That's right folks. I laid the law down. We had this huge row, and I tossed his pillow into the loft. It was very dramatic....





Well not really. If we did have that big of a row, I'd probably not blog about it. I would probably grab my marriage and family therapy textbooks and start outlining some strategies and tips. Then I'd make Randy read them.


The truth be told, I did kick him out. Only because he was playing track 18 on the coughing CD. Do you know how irritating it is to listen to someone cough nonstop for over 30 minutes when you're trying to go to bed? Now I would feel sorry for him, but he is being plum stubborn. He will not, flat out refuses to go to the doctor. So let him cough all night on his college mattress.

I called my mom to tell her our late night drama AGAIN. She replied, "Poor thing." I said "I know. I didn't get any sleep. I was so tired because..." She cut me off and said, "Penny I was talking about Randy." Well he seems to always gather sympathy from Mary. He could do no wrong even if it means keeping up their precious daughter all night by hacking up his lungs and every other organ in his body.


But this is also a great story to brag on my precious 4-legged child. Mopac slept with Randy in the spare bedroom last night. She woke him up around 5:30 this morning. He thought she needed to go potty, so he got up to head downstairs with her.....BUT she detoured and came to my side of the bed for me to pick her up.

Naturally I assumed she missed me through the night. I told Randy it was sweet that she wanted to sleep with me. He said "No, she knew something was wrong. She wanted me to be back in our bed. If not, she would have came to our room for you to pick her up without waking me up. She woke me up so I would come back to our bed."

(This is when you should stop rolling your eyes.)

See how intuitive our dog is. She tried to remedy our "sleeping arrangement" problem. She figured all this out after she hung the moon and worked on that cancer cure. Now only if she can convince Randy to go to the DOCTOR!
