I lost my arms!!

There must have been something in the cupcakes that were left over from St. Patrick's Day at my birthday party because last night sure was a doosey! I spent close to an hour and a half sitting on our front porch shivering like it was nobody's business just talkin' it up with a couple of good friends. And by talkin' it up I mean spilling the beans to just about every good boy story I've had in the past year to my dear friend Brad Hatch. He had no idea what was comin' when he sat down at 11:00 that evening...I had no idea either. But this post isn't about those stories. I finally headed inside around midnight and was so incredibly cold the shivering was turning into convulsing and I couldn't feel my toes. I crawled into bed and despite the 4 blankets, 1 down comforter, and my hoodie hood pulled up, I could not warm up and fall asleep. Eventually pure exhaustion must have hit because I finally fell asleep.
During the night I remember waking up in a panic because I would try to roll over but I couldn't find my arms! Yes, I was panicking because I couldn't find my arms...you read that right. The crazy thing was that not knowing where my arms were was not enough to really wake me up and I drifted right back off to sleep once my blood pressure normalized. It wasn't until this morning when my alarm clock went of at 6:45 that I woke up enough to care about my apparently missing arms...I tried to roll over in bed and turn off my alarm when I realized my arms were not in the arm holes of my hoodie. Instead, sometime during the night I had pulled them out of the sleeves and in close to my body. When I had tried to use my arms to roll over during the night, they were stuck inside my hoodie...resulting in the panic attacks while I was sleeping. When I realized my arms were still attached and how ridiculous the whole situation was, I just rolled over and laid there and laughed until I almost cried.
I learned an important lesson last night...Apparently not knowing where my arms were was not enough to wake me up. Damn alarm clocks... : )
