6:58 a.m. and I’m sleeping soundly (at least I’m pretty sure I am, because I’m not awake yet).
7:05 a.m. – bedroom door flies open and hits the wall – whack. Light is flicked on – click. Child yells, “HEY MOM, look at my hair! Just look at it!”
I roll over to inspect the calamity. Yeah, that’s nice. So, you don’t have your Mom’s crazy ass curly hair and you don’t have your aunt’s straight ass boring hair; what you’ve got, my dear, is something in between, which often looks like someone plopped a mop on your head in the middle of the night. Terrific. Now, go get ready for school and let me get back to my slumber.
That is how the scene plays out, but what I’m really saying in my head is “I’m gonna throttle you if you wake me up like this one more time!” It’s the same scene, different day. Oh, and by the way, thanks for waking me up 45 minutes early. Thanks, just thanks. Grrrrrr. I hate morning.

ah hell naw!!! do NOT wake me up!! and with 45 mins to go?? Fuck that shit!! LOL
I hear ya! I am so NOT a morning person. Grrrrrrrrrrrr…it sets me off on the wrong foot when I’m awakened like that.
I’m not a big fan of the early wake up either. Of course I don’t like being woke up late either, because there just isn’t enough time in a day. Did you have the talk with her later in the day?
Oh, I’ve had “the talk” with her repeatedly. She is notorious for storming into my room before the ass crack of dawn to ask the stupidest questions: “Hey Mom, do these socks match?”; “Hey Mom, do you know where that blue pencil with the white eraser is?” Hey Mom…” You get the idea. She just doesn’t seem to understand that Mom’s sleep is VERY important to her. She gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day and thinks everyone should be an early riser!
I feel your pain. I love my sleep, gawd do I. Remember some day she is going to be all grown up and moved out, or better yet she will still be there NOT waking you up and who the hell knows what she’ll be doing. I have experienced both and sooner or later they respect your right to “sleep in”, but then you wonder why they aren’t waking you up. Funny thing, huh?
I know that day will come. I usually just have to give her “the look” and she scoots out of the room. I just wish I wasn’t such a grumpity grump in the morning. Too bad I can’t have an i.v. of caffeine pumping into my veins first thing in the morning to make the waking easier!! Ha!
Hahaha, that is the best face of glee! You are a serious trooper….seriously, cutting into grown-up-sleep-time is NOT cool, I would punish the crap out of my kid for doing something like that (lol, I’m gonna be a scary mother someday (*shudder…) 😉 )
Oh…she is more than happy to stir the pot. She knows exactly how to push my buttons. It is hard to get mad at her…after all, she’s my frickin’ clone. Yikes!
Ooooh, 45 minutes! oh hellll nooo .. that wouldn’t fly over here.
And I up at 6 to get the child on the bus by 630 .. so what’s this sleeping in til 745 shit???
🙂
Exactly, let me have my 45 minutes! On the bus at 6:30? Hell, that would kill me! She doesn’t have to be to school til 8:40 (technically, I could sleep til 8:15). No bus for her – we live right in town and I drive her to school. There is no frickin’ bus run through town – you have to live ‘outside’ the town in order to hitch a ride on the bus.
