Sacred rule at home
By creye on Jul 19, 2008 in Family Matters
I hate waking up in the middle of a deep sleep. Well, who does not? There is this unwritten rule at home that when I am sleeping, especially when I spent the early hours of the morning working, I am NOT to be disturbed. I don’t really mind the noise, I am not bothered by that. Or that it is hot. I sleep like a log when I am tired. Dead to the world. So as long as nobody’s shaking my bed, that’s fine with me.
But there are instances when, no matter how sleepy I am or even if I just started sleeping an hour ago, I want to be awakened. These instances are when I forgot to give my brother his allowance for the day. I don’t like it when someone else (even if they are my siblings) go through my purse without my knowledge, even if the reason is valid. Just wake me up and I will give you the money. Or I need to be awakened when my alarm clock goes off and I was not yet waking up. I might have alarmed my clock for a reason. Of course, emergencies are a given already.
If there is absolutely no reason at all to wake me up, my siblings respect my rule. So I am really pissed off right now because my younger sister, the one next to me, woke us up because there is something in her pillow. Imagine our annoyance when now she is sound asleep and look at me, typing this entry. I went to sleep around midnight. On weekends, I try to get as much sleep as possible. And the reason why I don’t want to be awakened unnecessarily is because I find it hard to fall asleep again. She will really get a piece of our mind later in the morning, that’s for sure. Oh, she will be forgiven easily but she has to be reminded about sleeping rules in the house.
Do you have rules when it comes to sleeping? Or any “sacred rule” that your family knows and should respect?
Happy weekend everyone! Enjoy your day!

Sacred rule? No one uses the computer when I have to work here.
Sleeping- my husband does not want to be awakened whenever he is sleeping too.
Hope you get your much needed rest.
Take care!

Yes, we do have a Sacred Rule in the house : When 7-month old Mahalia is asleep, no one is allowed to make noise because she is a light sleeper and wakes up with just a little noise. So my 5-yr old son is not allowed to go inside the room where baby is sleeping nor use the bathroom in that room. When she is asleep, that’s my time to do computer stuff. Everybody seems very good at remembering this rule .
