Last night while sleeping comfortably, for the first time since the recent flu epidemic swept through our house, we were rudely awakened. Not too many things wake my husband up in the middle of the night; pretty much nothing short of a midnight promise of sex will wake that man. So last night when he sat up in bed and said, "Nicole!" in that urgent whispered tone that initiates your body's fight or flight mechanism I nearly peed my pants before I even knew what was going on. Finally to my senses I begin to understand why we're awake with pounding hearts.
"Um, Nicole, did we fall asleep with the lights on?"
"No, we didnt, we couldnt have. What the hell?"
We have two very bright ceiling lights in our bedroom that Dominic insists be turned off before he even thinks about laying down in bed and if they're ever on while he's laying in bed he writhes in pain like acid is eating out his eyeballs and begs: "can you pleeease turn them off". So i know that there is no way, no how, that we fell asleep with the lights on. But at 11 o'clock last night about 2 hours after we went to bed those lights were indeed on.
(cue twilight zone music...dododododo...)
yeah, it was creepy.

My bad, but I like to watch you both in your sleep.

I wasn't scared. I got up, turned them off and went right back to bed... And I'm still waiting for the promise of midnight sex.
