Oh Kev…
If anyone needed some good REM sleep it would be you!

I have to chuckle though, as I had a similar experience with my daughter yesterday. So last week I had asked if she wanted to go to this new salon’s grand opening- just thought a mom/daughter girly outing would be nice since she’s had back-to-back pregnancies and has been in not feeling/looking great mode for 2 yrs. So the day arrives, I’m of course all excited cause we know I don’t get out for anything lately, and she say’s “is this something you really want to do.? Like we will be there for like 20 minutes and you don’t need products cause you’re bald and I already have stuff. It’s really not my thing. But if you wanted to go get a nice lunch and have drinks that would be fun and we should plan that”

SMH…

‘Ok, sure sweetie, I just was thinking of something to make you feel feminine and fun; but I would love to have a girl’s night with good food and libations.’

And now the part that’s relevant to your story… my daughter an husband just bought a house. They are having work done before they move in. Iv’e been helping with paint colors as they are painting entire interior/exterior. I have gone numerous times to get swatches, done the research online (house renovation is my thing), painted boards so she can look at them throughout the day as the light changes. So yesterday I said, let’s go get the final choices in quarts and we can paint different patches throughout house. She picks me up, we get the paint - I’m soo excited to finally see the house and do the fu,n part - paint and see what looks,good.

Nope, she says they are doing that tomorrow but can my mom and I watch the kids this afternoon. Like what…. That was the same to me like asking you to help move.

Don’t misconstrue based on this short example that she is not good to me; she is absolutely and does sweet things all the time.

I think sometimes when they have parents like us, who are always available and always can be depended on, that they forget we just wanna have that rare 1;1 time still.

So, back to the most important part of this post - DUDE, you gotta get the REM sleep! Unless that couch is big, comfy, and dogless, you’re gonna need someone to switch with you (daughter)! And I know when I say this I would hesitate to ask my daughter and it’s really none of my business to tell u what to do.. it’s just that I understand you don’t have the capacity to go without good sleep for too many days and I worry about you.

Ok, just hobbled off the soapbox and I will follow my own advice and go to bed in a few more minutes.
Jesus @ESABOE , I’ve been on chemo, you amaze me at the energy and ability to do all the things you do! You are my hero. What is this sleep and Rem thing you speak of?

She slept in a tad this morning. She had a very busy but good day other than the fish loss that included getting her hair done which is a rare treat because I'm one of those girls that will get it cut/stlyed permed whatever and then just let it grow and grow until it gets on my nerves. Hope everyone has a great day!

Got some David’s seeds to snack on for tonight’s game!

Joel, wish we were watching together- even though it might be a rainy one.

So my husband likes calling my fish and such by funny names he makes up and today I think he came up with a really good one. He called my Pincushion urchin my saltwater porcupine... LOL
Your husband is a keeper!

I agree he's pretty awesome but I might be a bit biased.
My wife’s husband is not a keeper. He only named one thing in his aquarium. He got 4 nassarius snails. One was larger and had some brown coloring on it’s white shell. He named it Gary of course. Eventually they all became the same size and got brown coloration on their shells and now he doesn’t know which one is Gary. :thinking-face:

So my son solved that problem when I let him name the two tuxedo urchins - my son does hilarious accents from all over the world, so in his best old man Greek accent he said, “ The one on the left-side of tank is Yannis; the one on the right is Gregorius”. ‘When they switch, so do the names”.
Yannis..Gregorius.. there ya go!
