Hello, my name is Socorro and I am an insomniac. It’s been about four weeks since I last got a good night’s sleep. I spend most nights tossing and turning. I can go to my bed completely exhausted and still not fall asleep for hours (and then, generally, wake up on time the next morning). My dearest-darling-beloved husband, on the other hand, lies down for five minutes and he’s out cold (even if I’m trying to have an engaging conversation with him about feelings). Because of this wonderful arrangement, I’ve had a lot of chances to observe my hubby as he sleeps, and I’ve come to the conclusion that he is incredibly cute! I know he probably doesn’t want me to share how unbelievably cute he is with everyone in the whole world, and he will probably hate me when he finds out which picture I used to go along with this post, but I’m hoping he’ll forgive me because I can’t keep it to myself :)
A few nights ago as I was (of course) struggling to find dream land, I observed an interesting phenomenon. Karl had fallen asleep with his arm around me, which was very sweet, but I since I’d been lying there awake for two hours I eventually had to go to the bathroom. I tried to slowly sneak out from under his arm so I wouldn’t wake him, but this proved to be problematic because every time I tried to move away from him and towards the edge of the bed, he pulled me back in! I thought maybe he was just pretending to be asleep and giving me grief (as he seems to find so humorous in his waking moments), but he was definitely VERY asleep. Eventually I had to lift up his arm, move it and then run to the bathroom.
When I came back from the bathroom I and snuggled back up to him I put my hand on top of his, and he held my hand! And when I squeezed his hand he squeezed mine right back. I thought for sure he must have been half awake, so I decided that I’d have to try it out again (you know, scientific procedure and all) and he does it pretty much every time! I asked him about it, and he had no idea that he does it, or about the experiments I was doing on him in his sleep... haha... Anyway, I love my hubby a ton and a half, and I'm glad that he loves me so much that he is even affectionate in his sleep :)
