I should be able to fall asleep. I spent my day jogging, pulling weeds, planting flowers, taking care of children...spending time with young women from church...visiting HIS relatives and gathering things for my yard sale this weekend. I'm physically worn out. I should be able to fall fast asleep.
1 am.
My husband's snore irritates me. I lie in my bed listening to the garbled sounds emanating from his side of the bed. He fills the room with the awful noise. I have tried my best to gently nudge his pillow to stop the sound. (Although a fleeting thought did run through my head about placing the pillow somewhere else!). I even tapped him lightly on the shoulder encouraging him to move.
But still, the noise! ARRRGGHHH.
So, I lie in my bed thinking about how unfair this situation is. I do the majority of the physical labor at home and I'm bone tired and getting angrier as I think about the injustice. I feel my blood begin to boil and steam come rolling out my ears. I finally yell into the darkness. ROLL OVER!
Doesn't work.
I wonder what it's like to sleep soundly? Night after night of terrible snoring is draining. I'm crying and I'm tired.
Woe is me.

Poor girl, make him sleep on the couch! You deserve a good night's rest.
Have you thought about a sleep study for him? It's a huge step but might really make a difference. :) Good luck!
I don't know what to tell you. It's just not fair.
Stuff a rag in his mouth? That'll muffle the noise. :)
I do feel sorry for you because I have had sleepless nights do to snoring people. On the flip side....my husband, that had many annoying issues, left me 9 years ago. All his annoying habits left with him, which was nice, but all he left for me was/is overwhelming. I wish I would have appreciated him more for what he was and not have been annoyed with what he wasn't. I've learned so much in these 9 years and I'm sure given the chance again I would be annoyed over something Mr. wonderful would do. However, it's my prayer to over look more of the things I can't change and simply pray! I'll pray that the snoring sounds more like angelic angels singing you a lullabye!
Sleep tight sweet Jenny! O=)
I second that sleep study idea. He might have sleep apnea, which is exhaustive to him as well and pretty scary too.
In the meantime, the cheap quick alternative is to try those nose strips found in the pharmacy isle. They really work on some people, and aren't really medicine, and just go on the nose like a band-aid. Good luck!
