Falling asleep on the couch...

So, I did it already.  I missed a blogging day.  I couldn't think of anything I wanted to write about and then before I knew it, I was falling asleep on the couch.  I never used to be able to do that.  I could only fall asleep in my bed.  The covers had to be just so, the fan a the perfect speed, and everything quiet.  What is it about getting old that allows that to happen.  I remember laughing at my parents when they would be doing the "head bob" or snoring so loud we would have trouble hearing the TV.  For my husband, it doesn't even matter what the volume of the TV is set, he can sleep through anything.  Well, let me correct that, the only thing that wakes him up is if you turn off the TV.  Me, well, I still fall asleep faster when it is quite, but noise is definitely not preventing me from falling asleep anymore. Heck, you know you're on a down hill spiral when you can fall asleep sitting up!  What is up with that?  I can understand it when you've had a hard day working physically, but yesterday I was busy with a whole bunch of nothing.  I didn't even get my laundry done.  Not much new with that though, you all already know I tend to procrastinate.  But the point is, what could make you so tired that you fall asleep watching TV at 9 pm??  I guess it is because I am right up there at "middle aged" now.  Gosh that sounds old.  And don't go telling me that I'm too young for that title, how many people do you know that are approaching 100?  Not too many, I'm sure.  I'm on that downhill slide now.  Crazy to think about that.  I remember as a teenager figuring out how old I would be in the year 2000.  Worse, I remember thinking... "whoa, 34, that will be old!"  Oh, to be 34 again.  I was not falling asleep on the couch at 34!

On a side note, my daughter had a volleyball tournament today.  They have 17 players on their team, I know, that is a bunch.  But she got to play a lot.  She had a couple of kills and several digs.  She played great, I am super proud of her.  They won both of the matches they played today in three games.  They have several more days of the tournament to play, but they are off to a great start.  Go Griffins!  And Go Amy!
