The Amazing, Astounding, Wonderous Event.

I did something last night that I don't ever remember doing before.  I know, I know.... at my age, it gets harder and harder to find things that are a "first", but I did it!  And just wait until you hear what I did!!!  You will be truly amazed!  (as am I. )

It all started as a normal night.  I'd spent the afternoon sewing and sewing. The boys got home and I hung out with them for a bit, cooked supper, then we watched some tv.  I played Words With Friends and went upstairs early.  I read in bed, in fact, I read an entire book!  I'm not sure what time it was when I finished the book and went to sleep.

And, I'm not sure what time it was when I woke up and discovered that I'd done the thing that I don't remember ever doing before.  Now, this thing that I did, I've been told by other people that I have done it in the past.  I had no reason to doubt them.  I've heard stories about me doing this since I was a child.  It has never bothered me that it is something that I don't know that I do.  I'm sure that lots of people do the same darn thing!

But, last night.  I did it.  And, in the event of doing it last night, I did the thing that I'd never done before.  (Are you lost yet?)  Here's what happened:

I was sound asleep, on my right side.  Hand under my head, pillows all around.  Windows open, fan on, cats sharing the bed with me.  Then, it happened.  I woke myself up.  Yes folks, I woke myself up. (Didn't you wonder how I knew my sleeping position?!)  However, I didn't just "wake up".  Are you ready for this????  I woke myself up by....... Talking in my Sleep!  Can  you believe it???  Amazing, isn't it????  I have never before heard myself "talk in my sleep".  Never before have I talked loudly enough to wake myself up.  

I remember wondering who was talking in my room.  It was me!  I was still talking when I woke up.  Then, I remembered what I was talking about.  Now, I don't.  I was so impressed and amazed by myself that I did what any normal person would do after waking themselves up by talking in their sleep.  I went back to sleep.  Gasp!   Shocking, isn't it?  Something that amazing happened to me and rather than run right to the computer or phone and share the news, I went back to sleep.  I did not even wake myself up again by talking in my sleep.  So, I don't know if I talked in my sleep any more while I slept.  I don't know if I had a good conversation with myself or not.  But, I do know now, for a fact, that I talk in my sleep.  Do wonders never cease???  : )

After such an exciting night, I'm tired this morning.  I stayed up late reading.  (Shocking)  Woke myself up by talking in my sleep.  (Amazing)  Got up and out of bed at 5 a.m. so that Jonah could get to school super early for a field trip.  (Incredible)  I still am going to take Jordan to school. (newsworthy)  This afternoon I'm going to go to work. (Adventuresome)  However, this morning, I may do my very best to reprise my miraculous night.  I may just take a nap.  And see if I can again accomplish the astounding act of waking myself by talking in my sleep.  My life rocks!!!  : )
