resting?

As many of you know I work long and odd hours so sleep is precious to me! So precious that my family is afraid to wake me when they find me sleeping! Yesterday was on of those days after working 18 hours on Saturday I had to be back to work at 7:00am so the few hours of sleep I got were not going to cut it so at 10:00am on Sunday I was going to catch up!!!! After only a hour of sleep I incorporate into a dream someone ringing the door bell and then awaken to seeing my in-laws driving away so there really was a door bell ringing but it is too late so I drift back to sleep! My next recollection is large truck engines rumbling up and down the street! I open my eyes to see two fire trucks and police car in front of my house! I don't smell smoke or hear the fire alarms going off in my house so I think something must be going on in one of the neighbor's home only to see the fireman and police walk across my front lawn! No one knocks on the door so I just keep watching(from the bed, no need to get up unless you have to evacuate). Eventually the fireman return to their truck and start them! I guess I had decided I should find out what happened so I get up and go to the police car, thank god that I was sleeping in my clothes so dressing was not necessary, only to find out that my husband was burning scrap wood in our fire pit in the woods and someone had reported a fire behind our house! I did notice not just the local fire department truck responded but the state's forestry fire truck showed up! So if you were wondering what your tax dollars to the fire department were being used for now you know! Also so much for me catching up on my sleep and I guess the fire department isn't aware of don't bother me when I am sleeping!

It's true, don't wake up Hubcap when she is sleeping. She might bite your head off.

And, you never told me that story!
