Prince Charming


For those of you who know Troy, you know he has a little bit of a sleeping problem. I'd like to blame it on genetics but I'm sure it goes way beyond that. His body clock was thrown out the window during medical school and residency when he worked 48 hours straight. Then teaching early morning seminary added insult to injury. Now it doesn't matter if he gets 14 hours of sleep at night, he can still be fast asleep if he sits down to watch a show or attends a meeting with a less than entertaining speaker. And if it's 1:00 in the morning then you might find him wide awake glued to "She-Ra, Warrior Princess" or some other crazy show because he can't seem to fall asleep.

The other night he came home late from work and sat down at the table to have dinner. I was at the computer working away and didn't think about that fact that he wasn't making much noise. A while later he came in to "show me" that he had fallen asleep while eating. Yes, that is a FORK impression on his forehead. Of course, I said, "I must take a picture and can I please blog this?" What a great guy!

Chad doesn't have the med school excuse, but definitely the genetic one. He has to stand up during most of the business meetings at work so he doesn't fall asleep. And even two active boys during sacrament meeting crawling all over him doesn't seem to help. But I must say, I have never seen fork impressions on his face. :) That is very impressive, Troy.

We are both laughing hysterically - Sorry Troy! ;)

That's amazing. I don't think I've ever heard that one before.
