It all began with Carey Scott. I was in elementary school and she was one of my good friends. I was invited to spend the night at her house on a Friday night and upon wakening on Saturday morning, Carey informed me that I had snored and woken her up. I was mortified. Something about snoring is ugly, embarassing, and ungirly. The worst part is I remember her telling other people about it at school.
As an 8th grader, I got my tonsils and adnoids removed, and I think that helped but how would I know? I slept alone in my bedroom. Nobody to tell me what I was doing while I was asleep. I remember even in high school trying to stay awake until the other girls had gone to sleep if I was at a sleepover so I wouldn't get caught snoring....
Getting married presented a problem...someone to witness my embarassing affliction! Jason discovered that when I slept on my stomach, I didn't snore. So, if I kept him awake, he would just tell me to roll over and I would stop. Two situations where this does not solve the problem. Number 1 - when I have a cold. But really, who doesn't snore when they have a cold? Number 2 - pregnancy...I can't sleep on my stomach!
Why am I even telling you all this? Because I am currently with child and with cold...meaning bad situation on the snoring front. The last few nights I have been paranoid that I am keeping Jason up. I even slept on the couch 2 nights ago for part of the night because I was so stressed each time I was close to falling asleep that I was going to be noisy.
I know there are afflictions that could be worse, but I really hate that I snore.

HaHa! I love this post! Yeah, everyone has their snoring moments! Why is it so ungirly and ugly?! I mean, it DOES feel like that... maybe we just need to band together to get more people to accept it as human. :)
I'm pretty sure I snore when I'm on my back, which is my FAVORITE position to sleep in. I was nervous marrying Ryan that he'd be so bugged, but lucked out because I think a jackhammer next to his bed would barely stir him from his deep sleep. He says he's only heard me twice in our almost 10 months of marriage. Phew!!! But two nights ago, he grumpily woke me up and told me to flip... that was a first. I feel ya!!! I am so paranoid too!
Breathe-right strips!
Well, I don't snore but I do blow my nose really loudly (or just frequently because I'm one of those people with a lot of stuff in my nose) and that really bothers him. Oh well, we all have something!
