I refuse to be a grown up yet!

I'm sitting on my couch with the balcony door pulled all the way open, listening to the rain in the trees, and munching on Oreos. Its 12:15 and my husband is still asleep. Based on where I found my iPad and the earbuds that were plugged into it, he had some trouble sleeping last night. It happens less for him than it does for me these days, but when he just can't sleep he watches a movie. I think it helped this time... I've been up for forty five minutes and making a bit of noise. He hasn't moved. I even took the dogs for a 20 minute walk. Usually if I get up and leave the bed before he's awake he then dreams something about me missing and then wakes up to find me gone. Didn't happen this time and I even left him a note.
For those of you who caught that, yes, I woke up at 11:30 this morning. Because I'm still a teenager. I require more sleep than my husband (he usually needs about 6-7 and I need more like 9), I have an obsession with junk food (the Oreos are breakfast), I really can't seem to get a good grip on this whole always having a clean house thing (even though I'm a full time housewife, I mean, how hard should it be?), I stay up away too late on a regular basis (I'm not the only one with that problem though), and yet somehow I still get sleepy at 9 pm...we built a fort last week. With sheets and clothes pins. We built it in the bedroom, over the bed, and then we left it up and slept in it (because somehow, as a kid I had never done that). 
Speaking of junk food... I figured something out. I've gained a, um, decent amount of *cough* weight since I've been married. I used to eat waaaay more junk food than I do now, so why have I gained weight? I also exercise more than I did then... It's because I have a husband who needs meals. I'm actually cooking and eating full meals, but then munching on my favorite foods in between. So I have a solution! I just need to stop eating real meals! Ha! I'm just kidding, I need to stop eating junk food... But real food isn't as tasty... Or maybe I need to cook my way through a cookbook and figure out which meals will fill my craving for junk food...
For now I'll just finish my Oreos... I think I'm gunna go splash in a few puddles.

Except for church on Sundays, I routinely do not roll out of bed before 10:30 am. Of course, that's a consequence of working afternoons and evenings.

I haven't even written my blog for today, I'm just dragging my feet.
