Dreams

Last night I dreamt a lot about Jennifer or it certainly seemed that way. For some reason, the dreams were of her sleeping. Often (since I was usually awake before her) I would just lay there and watch her sleeping and that was what I was doing in the parts of the dream I was having. I know it is weird, but I guess it is what it is. She was so cute with her little nose and her snoring. She could snore with the best of them. She would kill me for sharing that, but she could. I heard a “God Damn It Joe, don’t be sharing that” when I typed it.

I have mentioned before that Jennifer was a power sleeper. A trait she got from her father. I have numerous photos of her sleeping, but one of my favorites is the one below. This is from Jeanne and Robs wedding reception at her Aunt Helen’s house. This photo is before we started dating, so I was not there to witness it, but it is one of my favorites.

She was one of those people who could wake up and then go right back to sleep. Something she did frequently. I am just the opposite I am one of those people if I wake up, I am up. There is going back to sleep.

Conversely, I can usually go right to sleep when I hit the hay. Jennifer was not like that sometimes it would take her a hour or better to get to sleep. It used to aggravate her that I could fall to sleep so quick and it would aggravate me that she could go back to sleep after waking up.

I would give everything I own, to just lay there and watch her sleep today.

I am praying for all my family and friends that are in the parts of the country having the severe weather this weekend. I pray that they all get out of it unscathed. It is heartbreaking to see some of the impacted areas that have basically been wiped off the map. Mother Nature can be a royal bitch when she wants to be.

Makes waking up to a skiff of snow this morning, is not all that bad. Things are starting to green up a bit now. So the April showers are truly bringing May Flowers.

Well I better do something productive before the days gets away from me.
