Ill Get Up In Just A Minute
Are you one of those people who wake up in the morning, fully
refreshed and singing with happiness at the start of a bright new day? Well, most of us aren't. And frankly, we'd rather those of you who are would knock off the racket. We're trying to get a little last minute sleep before staggering off to get our morning coffee. Those final minutes in bed are golden. You know the ones I mean, the last precious moments, still snug and warm under the covers, fully awake and knowing you have to get up. But not just yet. No, just a few minutes more. This is why the snooze button is so popular on the alarm clock. People just do not want to get out of bed in the morning. Especially kids. Anyone who has tried to drag a 9 year old out of bed at 7:30 AM to prepare for an 8:30 AM school day knows exactly what I mean. But even for adults, overcoming the morning inertia can be an exercise (and I use that word with its loosest possible meaning) of insidious procrastination. Luckily for my family, we have an almost infallible system for overcoming this daily problem. We call our system "The Dogs." The way this works is that Doug, our larger, main dog, will wake up promptly at 6:30, sit by my side of the bed and place his paw on my back. We call this, "Giving The Paw." The process works something like this: Doug: Me: "Ok Doug, good boy." Ten seconds go by. Doug: Me: "Ok, Doug. Ok." Another ten seconds go by. Doug: ... Me: "Coming Doug, Coming." Fifteen seconds. Doug: At this point there is an air of frantic insistence in Doug's pawing. The message is http://www.dontplayplay.com/html/Hum...929/25443.html |
