Entry for October 27, 2007

I am suffering from disturbed sleep patterns. You might say that this is normal for the father of two children under two, and you would, of course, be right. However, in my case, I am not being awoken by early morning wails for feeding. In fact the Round Faced Boy (who is sleeping in our room just now) is a rather good sleeper.
In fact, the problem for me is that it is sometimes difficult to drop off because of the snores of my Significant Other and the Round Faced Boy. It is often like sharing a room with two very happy prize pigs. Their stereo snorting and snuffling makes me think that they are about to discover a horde of black truffles under the mattress.
All of this is most unfair. I appreciate that my Significant Other requires to get out of bed during the middle of the night to feed the Round Faced Boy, and that my complaints may seem a little less than gallant. However, this is to forget one crucial fact: I am a man, and thus entitled to complain loudly and bitterly if I lose even three minutes sleep. I am sorry, but that is just nature's way.
