Matt is Funny...

...except at 2 a.m.

Matt is now in his 4th phase of the Apache course which is nights.  His day starts around 1 pm with class and then he goes to the flight line around 6 pm.  This means he gets home around 1 am and tries to sneak in bed without waking me up.  This morning, for some reason, he forgot about the sneaking part. 

I was asleep when I heard him come in around 1:30.  He was actually really quiet brushing his teeth and getting ready because I don't remember any of that.  I was just vaguely aware when he slipped into bed.  I had just fallen back to sleep when all the sudden I was jolted awake by my sheet being ripped from the bed.  As I rolled over to see what was happening, the very bright overhead light in our room was flipped on.  I quickly shielded my eyes with my pillow but could just see Matt with the sheet wrapped around him standing next to the door where he had flipped on the light.  In my state of confusion and sleepiness, all I could muster was a moan to question what was going on when I hear Matt say "I think I saw a snake in the bed."  I was still too asleep to care but remember thinking that I was starting to get cold and frustrated that the light was still on.  I tried to voice that but I'm pretty sure I only moaned again.   He quickly searched for the snake and didn't find anything, turned out the light and came back to bed. 

As I tried to fall back asleep, I think Matt was already out and maybe dreaming about that snake because he was the most restless I think you can be and still be asleep.  Needless to say I wasn't getting much sleep and I didn't think it was very funny.

This morning after Matt got up I asked him what happened last night thinking maybe he was sleep walking or something.  He remembers "seeing" a snake and his heart rate skyrocketing as he jumped out of bed.  I have to admit it's kinda funny now. :)
