Morning!


Getting out of bed is hard. Mornings, for me, are like bras. I don't like them. At all. They're not supportive (they haven't made one small enough). They're uncomfortable and altogether unpleasant. But it's a little taboo to throw caution and brassiere to the wind... so like my over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder, I begrudgingly "embrace" the morning.

Embrace is strong. It's more of a forced relationship I have with the AM. After all, it's only natural to avoid pain. And donchta know, everything hurts in the morning. I'm an 80 year old who needs to rest her wrinkled prunes a little longer than those annoying gals who wake up at 4:30 just to work out... yeah, I want to punch them in the tinkle taco. (Ain't nobody got time for that!)

So here's some things I say to myself to get my frumpy fanny out of bed each morning:

1. That donut ain't gonna eat itself. 
2. If you sleep till noon, it's really going to mess up your nap time.
3. If your bladder explodes all over the bed, it'd be messy and probably painful. Grahm would be pee-ved.
4. You need to cover up those saddle bags under your eyes, Two Face.
5. You wore your hair in a bun yesterday. People are gonna know you didn't shower. AGAIN.
6. The Zombie Apocalypse is happening now. Your cubbies aren't zombie-proof.

And if all else fails, I roll over and get a whiff of Grahmsterdoodle's top-of-the-morning-to-ya breath. And then I'm wide awake.

Linking up with Shanna!

  4. Oh mornings. I used to get up and go to the gym in the mornings. I kind of miss that. It's easier for me to get up earlier than to stay up late. But I agree.. Starting the day later would be the best.

  7. Donuts. Seriously the answer has been so simple, all along. In order to get up at 5:30 for my clinical for nursing..I just need donuts? Where have you been all of my life?!

  14. The only remedy I have for mornings is a happy baby. It's hard to be grumpy around a happy baby. Which, is kind of annoying some mornings when I really just WANT to be grumpy - you know the feeling.

  23. Ha ha ha! You are too funny. I'm not a morning person either. The fiance always wants to converse and I'm like, "huh? Leave me alone." Bras are horrid. They are uncomfortable... I have too large of knockers to get by without though.

  24. Hahaha my thoughts exactly. Mornings are my worst enemy! I'm always in the worst mood no matter what time I wake up. Oh, and bras are awful too... so I agree with ya 100%!!

  25. I think I have these exact same thoughts every morning! Glad to know I'm not the only one who contemplates sleeping some more but in the end gets up so I don't wet the bed!

  26. Lmao....I honestly think you're my long lost sister or something. Or at least I want so badly to be related to you. Haha! I just want to talk to you everyday. I know I must sound like some loony bird, but I can't help it. You bring out the best in me:)! I DESPISE MORNINGS WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!
