Amazing Man of Mine

Last night was a long night.

I had a sad little boy. I think he had a tummy-ache. All he wanted was his mommy, to lay on his mommy, to make sure mommy got no sleep.

I spent most of the night in the rocking chair/recliner we have in his room.

At 6:00 am, my alarm clock, in my room, went off.

It sounds like a flock of geese honking at you. It is horrible and I hate that damn thing.

Jared couldn't hear it.

I had a decision to make. Brogan had just gotten back to sleep. I didn't want to yell from his room and risk waking him up, but I didn't want to get up and go in there and risk waking him up.

So, I waited a few more minutes....

.....the sound of a blaring alarm clock can really grate on my nerves when I am sleep-deprived.

I can only take so much in the early morning hours.

I covered Brogans ears and hollered, "Jared!", is the most whispery yell that I could muster.

I got back a gruff, "What", then he realized why I was so rudely waking him up and he pushed snooze.

Exactly 9 minutes later....... deja vu.

Me doing a whisper/yell, Jared huffing and rolling over to turn the alarm off, but this time the little man woke up.

Question: How can my sweet husband sleep through the sound of that clock blaring into the silent morning, but he can hear me over the sound of the clock, doing a whisper/yell from another room?

He never ceases to amaze me.
