Mom! Get UP! It's Morning!!

These animals of mine.

They have no concept that it.is.Saturday.

My day of partial rest.

The one day I don’t have to get up out of bed at 5:30 a.m.

So, they’re up and at ‘em, time to go outside, let’s go, Mom.  Can we have a treat, Mom?

Come look at the birds, Mom! Oh, look, a squirrel, Mom!

Okay, we’ll come back to bed, Mom, for exactly 46 minutes.

(46 minutes and 2 seconds later)

Mom!  Wake up!  We must go outside now!  Because…we hear birds!  That means it’s morning and time to get up! Let’s go outside!  The squirrels!  Dogs are walking their humans!  C’mon, mom!

What do you mean we’ve already been outside?  We just got up, we’ve been asleep with you? Don’t you remember? It’s a brand new day!! Can we have a treat, Mom? Come look at the birds, Mom! Oh, look, a squirrel, Mom!

Okay, we’ll come to bed, Mom.

Can we bring our treats?

It's never boring around here.

Random Thoughts About Early Morning Life at My House

Yeah.  Mornings.  I’m allergic to them.

I want to sleep in.

But...I have dogs.  That wake up around 5:30, wanting to go outside.

So, while I’m up, letting them out, I feed them.  And I go back to bed while they eat.  Just for a minute.

Then, they roll back into the bed, taking up all the space, and absolutely having to be under the covers, where they snore.

People, if I know one thing, I know this:  it is so hard to get up when there are white noise makers (dog snorers) in your bed.

You have never heard anything more peaceful than my dogs snoring.

It’s rhythmic.  It’s sonorous.  It makes your breathing slow down, and your stress dissipate.

I could record and market this stuff, I swear.

Happy Tuesday!
