I don't function very well at 5:00 in the morning. This morning was a particularly bad start. By 5:13 AM, I had broken a bowl, spilled yogurt all over my kitchen floor, dropped two spoons, and caused a bottle of Coke to fall out of my refrigerator on to the floor. (I made a mental note not to open that bottle. But of course by 5:00 tomorrow morning, I will have forgotten my mental note.)
Being completely discombobulated, I neglected to awaken my son at the appropriate time. Fortunately, the breaking and dropping of things was enough of a commotion to awaken him from his deep slumber.
He came downstairs, rubbing his eyes. "Mama, why didn't you come and wake me up?"
"Bubba, I don't think I need to. You're already up."
He stared at me on my hands and knees, cleaning up the last of the yogurt. "Yeah," he said. "You're right. The klutz alarm went off!"
Wow.. that was alot going on there this morning!
ReplyDeleteYes. And not anything good!
DeleteAt that point, just go back to bed and start over. Yeah, I have to get up around five in the morning and my brain doesn't function well then either.
ReplyDeleteI didn't sleep well, either. I think I got maybe two hours of sleep. Definitely not enough!
Deletewe do positively adore such mornings, don't we /noticetheirony/
ReplyDeleteRight. ;0)
DeleteI probably couldn't find the kitchen at 5 a.m.
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy!
DeleteI don't function too well at 5 a.m. either.
ReplyDeleteI don't know too many people who do!
DeleteThe klutz alarm :) I take it he can rely on that like clockwork? :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Pretty much!
DeleteWhat a way to start the day, .......that's still night time for me. What an early start to the day, is that EVERY day?
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Every school day. Monday through Friday. :0(
DeleteNo one should be up at 5 a.m. unless there's a need for a quick pee and then straight back to bed. Bubba needs to set his alarm, get himself ready for school, and depart to get on the school bus. No reason for you to be involved in all that foolishness.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Haha! Except I wouldn't feel like I'm a good Mama staying in bed while he fends for himself.
DeleteJust think of it as early preparation for college.
DeleteI hope the rest of your day went smoothly.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you, I am dragging! When does summer vacation start? ;0)
DeleteOn these kind of days you just have to take deep breaths, over and over again. And tell yourself everything will be ok.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Are you sure?
DeleteIf I had to get up that early there would be a big mess too
ReplyDeleteYeah. This is for the birds!
Deletelol definitely a sign you should go back to bed
ReplyDeleteI wish I could!
DeleteI believe there isn't any orthodox belief for such start of the day. Even if there is, we shouldn't taken by belief. Hope rest of your day went well.
ReplyDeleteI didn't break anything else, so I would say, based on that, that the rest of my day went well. ;0)
DeleteI don't function until noon but at one job, I'm scheduled around 11:30 and the other one, I open a lot at 10 but have to set up at 9:30. The people at Starbucks are starting to recognize me. The cinnamon dolce frappuccinno changed my life. Try it.
ReplyDeleteExcept I don't drink coffee. Maybe I should start. ;0)
DeleteYikes! I think most people would turn into a "klutz alarm" that early in the morning, heh...
ReplyDeleteI couldn't hold one thing without dropping it, yesterday!
DeleteKlutz alarm, I like that... Mine is generally the pooch alarm who always seems to need to go out 15 minutes before the alarm rings.
ReplyDeleteSchultz is not a morning person, so I don't have to worry about the pooch alarm, unless he happens to spot a deer grazing outside the window.
DeleteOh, man. I hope the rest of your day was better!
ReplyDeleteI didn't drop anything else, so that much was better. But I'm still REALLY tired!
DeleteThat is brilliant. You have a very quick-witted son! Also, I'm glad I'm not the only klutz in the mornings. I went to put washing detergent in my cup of tea a few days ago...
ReplyDeleteOops. ;0)
DeleteLOL! Well, that's one way to wake him up. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You too!
DeleteOh..Such mornings are problem, stressful.
ReplyDeleteHow was the rest of the day ?
Good post :)
