Strange, but True

The Napping Curse

If you are one of the lucky ones, I am sure you delight in an occasional nap.  However, if you are me, you can only be envious of those who get such a luxury. When I quit my day job for my career of a lifetime, I thought I had traded in coffee breaks for peaceful naps with my children. Well, I soon realized that every UPS or Fed-ex delivery person was against me, every solicitor or neighborhood dog would conspire to rob me of this well earned break I had so desperately wanted.  For years now, 9 to be exact, just as I  start to doze, the doorbell would ring, or the dog would hear something and bark, the phone would ring. This was not just a fleeting curse that eventually went away. No, in fact I think the conspiracy has grown to include my own children. As recent as today, Kip and I decided that we had been working so hard that we could sneak in a 30 minute nap. The kids were playing nicely and would be fine for 30 minutes. Literally just as I drifted off into a nice, peaceful slumber, I am jolted awake by the sound of my daughter’s cry. I woke up disoriented (after only 3 minutes of sleep) thinking my child was injured, only to find she was fine, but throwing a little tantrum. I do have to laugh at this strange anomaly and wonder 1.  why do I continue to try to take naps.  2. Will I ever really get to truly experience a nap.

3:33

For years now, probably since about 2001 or late 2000 ~ about the time I got pregnant.  I have been waking up at 3:33 am or I will check the time in the afternoon’s and it is 3:33.  I occasionally see that number on other things as well.  I have always been curious as to what the significance is to this strange occurrence so I looked it up and found that lots of people have this same things happen.  There are actually lots and lots of theories some good and some bad.  I choose to believe it is something good.  In fact, here is one that I found rather intriguing from a dream expert.  “3 represents power. 33 is the number of Christ as a spiritual master or Christ consciousness.   Therefore, the message would be “The Power of Christ”.  Other interesting ones are relating to the Trinity or that Jesus lived on Earth for 33 years.  This will be one of the questions I will ask God when I make it to heaven.  But, in the meantime if you want to check out all of the theories out there, you should Google it!
