roll over
four in the bed and the momma one said, "it's too early...go to sleep...i'm still tired...get out of my face...it's too early...close your eyes...i'm still sleeping...go to sleep...i'm in a dream...i don't want to...i'm feeling grumpy...it's too early...aren't you tired?...it's still dark out...i'm so sleepy" and they tug and pull on my feet and they take the warm blankets off me and they giggle and they roll me out of bed and i lumber into the living room, start the teapot in the kitchen and try so very hard to wake up. this is my morning. it is so silly when i think about it at night, but i just have the most difficult time getting up. it isn't the easiest thing in the world for me to stay up late either...not a morning dove or a night owl, i guess i am a 3 o'clock coo coo bird.

Oh my goodness. In my early morning sleepiness I thought is said 'four in the morning'! Of course the mama said 'go back to bed'. After re-reading it I saw my error. I too, am a night-owl, or rather have been during my non-sleep deprived past. These days my eyes shut as soon as my head hits the pillow. My friends and family know that we hit the hay at 9pm, so not to call after 9. And lil' C is typically a morning babe, so that is incentive to get the sleep when I can. xo-t
