Oh the shame.....
Sun Jul 07 2002

It is true. I admit it.

I snore.

I am honest enough with myself to acknowledge that I put jet engines to shame. I would even say that I register on the Richter Scale, particularly when my snoring is compounded by allergies and sinuses.

However....I don't snore every night, just nights during my allergy season. This season spans from March through December (Christmas trees are wonderful snore conductors). My snoring also occurs when I have a cold. I usually get colds in January and February.

My children are fortunate enough to be young enough that they sleep through anything. Hunkka-hunkka Hubby is not so fortunate. If he is already asleep when I fall asleep he is able to sleep through my nocturnal rumblings. Hunkka-hunkka Hubby can also hold his own in the snoring aspect. He has been known to shake windows for a 3 block radius.

Now why do I bring all of this up? I discovered last night that all three of my boys seem to be aspiring snorers. As I went to bed last night, the sounds of chain saws were coming from all three of their rooms...

    hehe, well think of it this way: at least you get to give some payback in the snoring department

    My Dad snores too, which is why I absolutely cannot stand sleeping in the same room as him. Ill be kept awake the whole night. Guess my Mom is used to it already.

    i hope you don't have sleep apnea (spelling ?)

    if you snore, you should talk to the doc. my hubby snored keeping us both awake, and he went to a sleep clinic and found out he didn't have energy because of his nightly snoring.

    anyway, he has a machiney thingy and now he has more energy, and we both sleep better :)

    I commend you: it takes a lot of courage to admit to such a shameful flaw. My husband snores like a freight train, and frequently wakes himself up. A couple of years ago, I was shocked to notice that I also snore sometimes. But my snoring is a delicate, melodious--dare I say delightful--"sleep murmur."
