I'm all up to tricks this morning. I mean it's Halloween and I work at a school - it's like an at work holiday in my book. This mentaliy is a bit bad I know, but I can't help it. I love my sleep. I even had a battle getting up this morning that went something like this:
Alarm 6:30am - Beep Beep Beep
Brain: Time to wake up!
Body: 6:30! That clock is set 10 minutes fast... it's really 6:20 - you got ten more minutes and it's Halloween - no one's gonna need you right away at work.
Brain: yea, you're right! good call.
Snooze.
Alarm 6:40 - Beep Beep Beep
Brain: ok we should really start thinking about getting up
Body: Yeah yeah I'll start thinking.. It won't take us more than 15 minutes to get ready - we got 5 more minutes - and it remember 6:40 equals 6:30 we got time....
Brain: yeah ok. but we should stop hitting snooze the BF might kill us.
Body: that's a bit dangerous, no?
Brain: what's worse us being late or the BF being cranky.
Body: yes. yes. ok well back to snooze
6:45
Brain: ok now we really need to get up
Body: two more minutes, i mean what's two minutes - you don't need to wash your hair
6:50:
Brain - get up!! I even gave you 5 minutes... a whole 3 extra.
Body: remember, it's only 6:40!! PUHLEEESE, you can get up and get out in 10. We already know what we want to wear and I hear showers are overrated.
Brain: you're so freakin' lazy!
6:55:
Brain: Come on, Get er up!! We're going to be soooo late to work.
Body: No we're not - and if we are we can always bribe them with Dunkin Donuts.
Brain: Honestly all you think about is donuts.
Body: No I don't. I think about coffee and donuts.
Brain: Right exactly. Now can we please get up...
Body: Fine, but I want a Coffee Roll.
Brain: Fine.
Body: God, I can't wait until we Fall back next week - a whole extra HOUR!!
now out of bed, sluggishly walking to the bathroom.
Brain: We're so late. mumbles I really ought to invest in one of those clocky clocks. Hah! that will really get my Body out of bed.
Body: Huh, what are you saying up there??
Brain: Oh nothing, just pass me the soap.
arg, I go through the same thing every morning, especially now that it's getting cold and grey outside. I've never seen the clocky before... maybe I should look into one too.

OMG, that was me this morning, too! I snoozed one too many times, but I didn't even care. Gotta love it. OH! I finished those damn knee highs! Woohoo!

He-he! I used to be like that. Now brain zipps those eyes open at ungodly hours and doesn't let body go back to sleep no matter what!

That read like my morning! Oh geez. While that clock would probably get me up in the morning, that random beeping pattern would be key, I think I'd lose the darn thing somewhere in my room. Clever idea!

Hmm... our Mum sure needs one of these clocks. We are sick her of hitting her snooze on her mobile phone. It's the ONLY THING left in the house that doesn't get smashed in the morning.

I think I have given up showering this entire week just to able to maximize my snoozin'.
