Sleeping Seperately

Hey World...it's me [Miss]underSTOOD Mimi!



Last night I set up me an airmatress in my office upstairs away from everyone. I decided I wanted sleep separated from "Uncle Frank." I figured it would help separate somethings emotionally, especially since we are "not-dating". Night before last he brought a young lady home with him from the club. Yeah, I am not surprised. What surprises me is his choice in women. Hmmmp. If you "brought her home for us"......you should've left her cheap ass where you found her. Well, now he and his basic-bitches can have the room. Im good; do what you want. Anywho, that's not the focus of his blog.

I woke up this morning feeling refreshed. I wasn't tossing and turnin looking for the comfort I routinely find nuzzled up next to him. I was ready to get out the bed with no problem. Versus my normal, waiting on him to get up before I bust a move. I felt a since of independence. I feel like I am in my own space. That is what a bedroom has always been for me, a retreat from the world around me. It serves as my safehaven and filler station. I am renewed in the confines of my own space.

When my ex and I lived together, I had my own bedroom. I sometimes slept with him and other nights alone. Sometimes I would go in there for my naps or when I just need some me-time. We watched many westerns (he was a cowboy to the heart.) I vividly remember this one where this prestigous man married a lady and she was given this beautiful suite of slumber. I thought "that is the shit; I wanna be like her when I grow up!" And that is my plan. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 24 percent of couples sleep in seperate rooms. When I get married, I must have my own room. I told my friends that I would probably want my own house connected with a bridge (I seen that on a movie,too), like Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter who have seperate homes connected with a hallway. So, I'm not completely crazy.

The National Association of Home Builders expect to be building 60 percent of custom homes with double master suites. Some may argue that sleeping is time a intimacy for couples. While others beg to differ saying its a precious time that is needed for proper rest, minus the interruptions that can be caused by your bed-mate. A lack of sufficient sleep can cause a multitude of problems. And it definitely won't contribute to the bliss of a couple.

Think what you want; say it, tweet it, FB it, too. But I know what I gotta do.

Love. Peace. and Hair-grease!
