Okay.
I understand you love the Sooners and want to support them in every which way.
I’m respectful of that.
However-
Love, Sweetie, Light of my Life, we must have some ground rules if you insist on waking up at all hours of the night to support your team.
1. If the game is not televised and you are forced to listen via internet radio in bed, the head phones must be on.
2. You must cheer quietly. Remember the “inside voice” we talked about and practiced? That voice must be in effect. No loud “Yeah baby!” cries, or “Go, go, go, go!!!” as you cheer on Murray into the endzone. No stomping, yelling, or loud clapping.
Inside Voice Cheers Only.
3. I love you, but I’m not getting up at 1:30 in the morning to watch OU vs. the Sisters of the Poor. It isn’t going to happen my friend.
4. When the game is over, and you’re all alive and exhilarated, and not ready to go back to sleep you are forbidden to wake me just because, “You can’t sleep.”
5. No. For the millionth time-no, I do not want to play Skip-Bo with you. Why don’t you ever want to play when I do!? Must you wait until 12:41 to ask!? Seriously.
6. I’m incapable of true and meaningful conversations after about 9:00 each weeknight. So- that means when it’s 2:13 and you’re telling me you miss life back home and asking me, “How long do you think we’ll live in Kuwait?” I’m just not fully aware of what you’re saying. I’m more asleep than awake. I’m liable to tell you we’ll be here forever and that I think you should wear that ugly plaid shirt to work today.
And we both know that you shouldn’t.
See!? I can’t be trusted during normal sleeping hours.
7. You’re not allowed to keep nudging me and telling me how you’re awake and you can’t get back to sleep.
I’m not awake.
I am asleep.
If you’re not- than at least let one of us get some rest!
8. No. I don’t want to shower with you at 2:45.
What were you doing showering then anyway!?
9. You’re not allowed to flip every freaking light on in the house, slam drawers, and clomp around while getting ready after that 2:45 shower.
I’m sure there are more rules, but that’s all I can come with now.
That’s probably due to the fact that I’m too tired to think of any more.
I’m tired because from 11:00- 3:30 you continually poked and nudged me telling me how awake you were, or asking me to play skip-bo, or asking me deep and meaningful questions about life!
Just wait until tonight, Will. You’re going to be exhaused and I am going to make it my mission to annoy you the same way.
Ha- who am I kidding? I’ll be out like a light too.
Oh well, the thought is nice.
Are you up for Skip-bo??

Ground rules are good, especially when it comes to football at 3am.
But I’ve been on Will’s side of things too, I cant sleep and I flounce and bounce and sigh and pester Brad til he’s about going insane and is completely exhausted anyway ... Luckily he can never stay away long enough for paybacks.
Oh and yelling “Go, go go!!!” is an involuntary reaction, you might want ear plugs too. =)
Have a lovely day!
