I enjoy irony.
I’ve been having some trouble sleeping (middle-of-the-night insomnia) recently. So last night I set up my iPod on the station, cued to “Sleep Sound in Jesus” (a wonderful album by Michael Card) and at a gentle volume, ready to go if I woke up and needed some soothing music to help me back to sleep.
True to form, I woke up about 2:30, reached over to tap “play”…
and BLASTED my hubby and me a foot off the mattress.
Something had gotten messed up with the volume control, and believe me, no lullaby is soothing at full volume.
Then, of course, I couldn’t find the button to turn it off or even down, and had to turn on the light to finally get it shut off, leaving me thoroughly awake.
Maybe I need to return to low-tech solutions like counting sheep.
🙂
I’m sorry.
And, I’m sorry, but reading how you all jumped a foot off the mattress had me laughing and remembering similar rude awakenings. It’s a laugh of relation.
Hope you can get some sleep soon. My sleeping schedule osculates all the time and I have trouble sleeping at night sometimes.

Wow, that would be painful. 😀
Aww, no lullabies are not lulling and soothing at full volume. I’m sorry for your ‘rude’ awakening but your telling it gave me a chuckle, because I’ve done that before too.
I use this verse when I wake from nightmares (which I have had quite frequently this past week) I hope it will bring you some comfort too when you wake in the night as well.
Psalm 127:1-3
In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
*nearly spews breakfast* LOL! I’m sorry, Sharon … that was really funny 😛
I hope you get some sleep, soon *hugs*
Seriously funny Sharon :))
And I can almost hear what happened because I sang that song to my kids all.the.time. Even now my Teen Son really will (very occasionally) say “Hey mom, sing that sleep song.” I have to do it the traditional way which is to actually switch off the light on the last line–LOL. (For those who don’t know it, the line is”…and I’ll turn out the light.”
