oh well, I guess I will have to sleep in!
My husband can not sleep with the light 
and he is an early riser
as a result
he likes to go to bed right after the news and weather
which is another story
AND HE GETS UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN

I
on the other hand,
am a night person
and I love to read and write in bED

i KNOW opposites attract
AND MY HUSBAND AND i ARE TOTAL OPPOSITES
but when YOUR nightly rountine clashes
as much as ours
THATs another story
yet
Life is full of compromises
consequently this is an area where I am forced to conceed
I turn off the lights
 go to bed early
even though
it kills me every single night
especially when I have a good story idea
occasionally
I will try to write a few words on a piece of paper in the dark
so I won't forget them in the morning
I keep a notebook next to my bed
another story

ALTHOUGH
tonight
its a different story!
I am the only one home!
and
 HAVE THE WHOLE PLACE TO MYSELF

its just for a few nights
i WOULDNT WANT TO BE WITHOUT MY FAMILY
MUCH LONGER THAN THAT

which is ANOTHER STORY
BUT
I keep expecting my husband to complain about the sound of my typing
wondering when poor Joe is going to tell me to
 TURN OFF THE LIGHT!
THEN i REMEMBER
oh yeah? 
 i DONT HAVE TO

TURN them OFF TONIGHT
They can stay on all night long if I so desire
as a matter of fact
it gets better
right this minute
THE TV is blasting
and
 THE REMOTE is in my posession
oh yeah

and
don't tell anyone
THE DOGS ARE IN MY BED

I think I just might burry my feet in a tub of vasoline
after taking a bubble bath
then I'll go to the kitchen to have a little bedtime snack
in my bed
after writing
and
who knows,
there could be a poem in me tonight thats screaming to get out
then again
perhaps I'll
crack open the book I've been looking at for weeks sitting abondoned on my night stand
but havent had the time to get past the dedication

Oh my goodness
I just glanced at the clock
its so late!
oh well
no problem
I'll just sleep in!

Loved it.You muste keep writing. I always enjoy your thoughts. Being able to do what you want is really great isn't it? But I miss Craig very much. We have been separated almost 7 months now. thank God we are trying to get things back together. It will take awhile to get him here permanently. As he has to sell the house.Soon I pray all the time.

I wish I was in my bed right now. Sounds like you have a nice reward. No husband and your little doggies in your bed. Means comfort. I've never been married. In my room I always have the remote. I like it.

I'm no longer in a remote place and I lost the remote, but I wouldnt trade the remote remote for the world. I might not be able to turn the channel ... but I have people to turn to??????????? Yeah, thats a bit of a stretch.
