bullfrog or husband...

you are saying to yourself what....unless you are like me and your husband/wife (sorry krista) is a severe snorer (is that a word) than you know exactly where i am going. sitting in the living room the sound of the bullfrogs outside are so loud i feel as if they are inside the fireplace.echoing of the brick walls and bellowing out trying to fill my very otherwise quiet house. it has been this way for the past few nights, i am sure the cooler, moister and all around better evening air is bringing them out of their little froggie homes for an all night croakfest. i bet there are at least 20 of them in the froggie orchestra being conducted in our backyard. why would this sound make my skin crawl to the point i feel like i should either go in the kitchen and eat my way through anything sweet i can find (oh, yeah, if i really need a sweet something something i will dig my grubby hand into the bag of chocolate chips i stash away for the banana bread i throw together from the rotting bananas i tend to have lying around weekly. totally desperate i know.) or open up a bottle of liquor like the unopened bottle of knob creek sitting about 10 feet away. okay...back to why this noise is making me crazy....wonderful husband has this small but slightly enormous problem with snoring. i will either be in the deepest of sleep to be awaken by his booming snores or watch two extra hours of tv hoping he will soon choke on his own air or rollover on his side which some how miraculously causes the snoring to stop. you ask..why don't you just wake him up and ask him to roll over??? well, my husband sleeps very little and extremely hard. the guy can sleep anywhere, under a tarp in the rain, the garage floor after a christmas party, the sidewalk with ants all around, and even in the front seat of suv after i have parked it in the driveway and gone inside to bed myself. so waking him up to roll over because his snoring is now waking up the girls is near to impossible. most of all, i like it when he actually gets upset or rather mad at me for asking him to roll over. yes, husband i know you can not control your snoring but please feel our pain and understand it is not fair to us to sit up wondering who will be louder tonight the bullfrogs out back or you.
anyhoo, since the sound of the bullfrogs is distracting me from working i mine as well head off to bed and attempt to clock in 6 hours.
seriously, i may have to find a way to post a recording of both the bullfrogs and husband snoring and run a survey as to which one is more annoying because i can not tell. oh, and in case you are wondering izzy snores just as loud as her father and together they can clear the room and send me an annie to the couch for the night!
