If you happen to be one of those people whose wretched children precious cherubs wake long before the sun each morning you might find yourself feeling debilitatingly exhausted a mite tired. You might find yourself in bed by the side of a spouse who feels the same. Â You might find yourself awakened by your generous and loving spouse who gently wakes you, reminding you that both of you had better get going or the whole family will be late. Â
So you might drag your tired self out of bed and get the kids, who have an unholy amount of energy, downstairs for breakfast. You might expect your spouse to be showering and shaving and doing all of his normal morning routine and heading out the door any moment, as per usual. So when you run upstairs to hop in the shower yourself you might be slightly vexed to find your oh-so-thoughtful spouse snoring his helpful face off in bed.
Not that this has ever happened to me on a weekly basis, but some people might find that irksome. Some people might even feel inclined to smother said spouse with a pillow. Thankfully some people have at least some measure of self-restraint!

So, what time do your kids get up anyway? Can you seriously beat 4:50? Zoe was getting up at 4:50 a little while ago.

That’s totally what happened to my first husband. Snooze induced death by pillow. (You’re not going to alert the authorities are you?!?!?)
Teddi: I can indeed beat that. 3:30. I’m a zombie.

OK, I feel bad for complaining that my guys stay in bed until 7, (I think it was the death threats that they were threatened with at a younger age) but it still drives me nuts that I am always up first and being all domestic getting breakfast, lunches, snacks for after school activities, checking that appropriate belongings are in bags ready for school… you all know the list, oh and trying to get ready for work also. And to think that all through this bliss, all dear hubby snoozes a little longer showers and head off to work. GRRRRR

SOME PEOPLE might be inclined to dump a glass of ice cold water over the OTHER PERSON’S head. Because I’m pretty sure that the OTHER PERSON would never pull that crap again.
Just an idea.
