I hear it all the time. “Do you have some sort of a word limit you need to hit every day?” That dear husband of mine. Forever the smart ass. I’m a SAHW, and while he’s at work every day, I am home working on my design business (which is starting to take off!), blogging, and taking care of household duties. Needless to say, it can sometimes get a little lonely. By the time he gets home, he’s hit his word limit 10 times over.
What’s a girl to do? Talk in my sleep.
I don’t do it intentionally, obviously. I didn’t even know I did it until my sister once pointed it out to me. Ever since then, it’s been a running joke in my family. What do I talk about? Let’s see.
Fight with my mother. Yep. This is a big one. It’s usually “Alright, alright, alright. I heard you. Yeah. Mom. Moooooom. Okay. OKAY! I heard you. Ok. Bye. Yes. Bye. BYE!” Usually it sounds like that in my sleep, too.
Talk in Spanish. So my first language is Spanish. Admittedly, English has taken over and my Spanish isn’t as great as it used to be. (Something about how your facial muscles are not moving how they were used to blah blah blag.) However, I still talk a LOT in Spanish. About what? I have no clue. I can’t remember my dreams.
Sing. I have actually woken myself up singing before. I must have been in a big production, La Traviata or Die Zauberflöte, I can’t remember, but I do remember one thing. I always fail hitting my high B’s. I wake up extremely confused because the high notes are as sure as the sun rises in the east. By the time I realize I was trying to sing, the sun actually has risen.
Oh, don’t think my husband (aka Smartass) is escaping this so easily. He just sent me an e-mail asking me what all those little words (labels) were at the bottom of my blog, and why shart was one of them. (He knows…he just wants to be a pain).
My husband beats me in his sleep. Ok, that isn’t exactly true. We waited until after we were married to live together, so B wasn’t used to having someone in bed with him. When were were newlyweds (at what point do you stop being newlyweds?) I woke up one night in shock and fear and confusion to him standing over me looking furious. My husband, in his slumber’s stupor, beat me repeatedly with a pillow. Really hard!
I don’t know who was more scared…me waking up to a pillow in the face…or him waking up in a standing position beating his unconscious wife. All I could do was ask “What?! What did I dooooo?!?!!??!” He apologized after he pulled himself together, but I will never let him live this down.
So…do you have a word limit?
Rachel Silski says
Oh my..I talk in my sleep too but not like this. My husband and you would get along. My husband is talking more like this..but its all jib jab stuff. You can’t understand him!
Natalie Hinkley says
How funny! I talk in my sleep sometimes but it is never coherent. I think I would be terrified too if I woke to getting beat with a pillow, lol!
Jen says
Haha, my husband and I waited to live/sleep together as well and he turned over and slugged me right in the face on our honeymoon! We still laugh about that…not a fun way to wake up. I literally almost had a black eye….

That pillow story is hilarious. It’s not… but the fact that y’all are so “busy” while you’re sleeping makes me smile.

It was a mistake to read this while in class (I’m a TA…so I’m just here to take attendance and monitor tests)
Not the best idea to giggle while they are trying to concentrate!

OH my goodness. I talk in my sleep at least once a week. My husbands favorite thing is to talk back to me to see what I will say. He has full conversations with me for entertainment. Cute story!
Lauren Alexis says
Oh my goodness. This is exactly like my husband and I! I talk in my sleep all the time, and he finds it hilarious. And we always punch each other on accident in our sleep. So funny! Loving your blog!

The part about your husband hitting you with the pillow in his sleep made me laugh out loud! During my first pregnancy, I would hit my husband, really hard, in my sleep! I did that twice during my pregnancy. I have never done it since lol! Thanks for the link-up! :)
Jackie says

haha! what a way to wake up!! Never let him live that down, that’s hilarious! My brother and I used to talk in our sleep. We would literally carry on conversations across the hall until our parents woke us up from it. I don’t think I do this anymore but one night my hubby was sleeping and I was tossing and turning then he randomly shouts out “boobies” and I’m like, heeeey quit that dream now!! ha!

The first month I lived in the dorms, my roommate started talking in her sleep. She had never mentioned anything before so I just thought she was talking to me when it happened. Until I realized she was dreaming that I was pregnant and she was talking to someone about it.. Awkward to explain the next morning!
