A Change of Subject

Nate has brought to my attention that all I have been talking about lately is bodily functions. That is simply because for the past week and a half it feels like I've been eating, sleeping, breathing poop and barf. Except, not in the literal sense. That would be nasty... very nasty. (Obviously the eat, sleep, breath analogy doesn't work very well here.) So for those who have a weak stomach I must apologize. This just goes to show you why I have an extensive knowledge in fecal matter.

Moving on,

I know I said I was done posting pictures of Nate while he's sleeping and unsuspecting; and trust me, I've passed up many great opportunities. This one however, I couldn't resist. (If for some reason you've had the misfortune of not seeing those pictures, you can find them here & here)

There are several reasons why I must post this picture,

  • Because it's not a post dealing with my kids bodily functions.
  • Because someone's day might need cheering up.
  • Because my husbands love for me is {hopefully} unconditional.
  • Because this picture makes me want to spoon my husband (in a sweet and cuddly sort of way. Mind out of the gutter!).
  • Because sleeping on the kitchen floor is apparently more comfortable then sleeping on the bed.
  • Because this was the reason I couldn't do my dishes. (OK, not really, but it makes for a good excuse)
  • Because we knew we would have trials when we came to this life; Nate just didn't know his trial would be his wife.
  • Because my husband is not lazy. He just likes to sleep... a lot.

(In Nate's defense, this picture was taken the day after our long puke filled night with Macie & Kaleb. If I could have, I would be curled up asleep on the floor next to him)

So HOW, pray tell, does one fall asleep in that particular spot?

this so looks like my husband on a daily basis. the second he walks in from work... he is OUT (usuallly on the couch or the carpet floor). Anyways, I posted a comment on you photo blog but thought I would do it here also. I know this is so random but I found you on Shelley's blog. My husband knows yours from Temple. He is doing a OMFS Residency at Temple and guess Nate did a rotation with him. We actually invited you over for dinner a few months ago. I would love to chat and if possible have you guys over. Email me when you get a chance and give me your number and i will call you. sarahblamires@gmail.com. look forward to hearing from you.
ps. my passion is photography... i would love to talk to you about it.

I haven't been able to see this picture until today. How on earth did he fall asleep right there? You were definitly warranted on posting this one.

What in the world? And I thought my Nathan found odd places to sleep.

Its nice to hear something other than bodily functions. I am truely a little squeamish when it comes to those subjects. That has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen. Poor Nate he is a very sleepy man. I can't believe he can fall asleep on a cold floor like that?

Ok, is Nate narcoleptic, and just happened to fall asleep near hear, standing up, and then fell, or did he seriously PICK this spot? Who in their right mind would pick a corner on the kitchen floor for a nap. I guess all the other rooms were taken, or smelled like barf. I am willing to bet that this one small corner was the best smelling area in the whole house. Ok, I feel better after figuring it out. Ginnie, keep your bathroom door locked. This could be very ugly in the bathroom

I don't know what's funnier.... The fact that I was gonna tease you about the subliminal ridicule of the "fecal" comment OR... The fact that it's takin me FOUR frickin times to figure out this stupid comment thing!!! --ROO

Roo- I think the fact that it took you four times to figure out how to post a comments takes the cake.
