Big Man's "secret project"

When Big Man finishes a work week (of overnights) he tends to not be good about going to sleep (during the day) on his last day. This means, essentially, that on week like this, his last shift was Wednesday from 12:00am to 8am. He arrives home Wednesday morning, and should sleep for the day, but often doesn't, or just naps on the couch. This means he basically loses a day of sleep, and is nodding off on the couch after dinner, which is no fun for me. But he's transitioning to night-sleeping, and it just what he does, but I worry that it really means he goes one day per week with no real sleep. So I always bug him to go to sleep.

I figured he wouldn't sleep yesterday because of the PS3. I thought that it would, understandably, be a distraction from sleep and he'd play Madden all day.

But when I came home from work, the PS3 was still in the box??? And Big Man 'fessed that he'd only napped on the couch?

So over dinner (which he cooked, as he usually does) I asked him what he did all day. He told me he was working on a "secret project". I kept bugging him but he wouldn't tell me what it was. But at the end of dinner he said he would show me. He took me upstairs to the baby's room, to show me that instead of sleeping, he had painted the dresser/changing table to match the paint in the baby's room. (and to think that my hunch was that "secret project was code for "internet porn")

Big Man rules.
