Waking Up Is Hard To Do- In Other Words, Don’t Hurt Yourself.
You know what kind of day you’re going to have when you awaken as I did this morning:
- Think the alarm, which is on the cell phone, is actually the cell ringing, so you answer it by saying “Hello”- more than once before you realize it’s the alarm.
- Once the alarm is off, you move to get out of bed, only you can’t because one arm is stiff as a board due to being in one position a little too long.
- You know how fitted sheets are made? The sewn, gathered part that makes them “fit” to the mattress? Well apparently you had a wild night at some point because the sheet is no longer fitted to the freaking mattress and you manage to get your pinky toe caught, thus sending you onto the floor.
- Pee, flush, wash your hands-with hair conditioner.
- Pass the washing machine, remember you need to put a few items in, do so, then forget to turn it on and wonder why you don’t hear the washer once you’ve made it to the living room.
- Fill your tea cup, (yes I drink tea in the mornings), with hot water, open the teabag, dip it into the cup, zap in microwave, rip it unknowingly and get a good taste of tea leaves when you take the first sip.
- Sit down on the couch, turn on the television, light a cigarette and your hair because of the obvious turmoil in the bed based on earlier events, your hair is in a style you never want anyone to see.
- While drinking the first cup of tea-ask yourself again, if you turned on the washing machine- and go check.
(I’m not making this up and I’ve yet to make it out of my bedroom)
I’ve had 3 cups of tea, so I am quite awake and I need to toss clothes in the dryer before I forget and the whole episode repeats itself.
“Think the alarm, which is on the cell phone, is actually the cell ringing, so you answer it by saying “Hello”- more than once before you realize it’s the alarm.”
LOL
omg you dont understand how many times I have done this. I have the iPhone so the alarm can be set as the same tone as the ringer… I havent changed it and now this reminds me to thou.
Oh honey, I’ve had mornings like that. Sometimes the only solution is to go back to bed and start the day all over again.
Solar: What’s so funny is the fact that I don’t even use the phone as my primary cell- it’s an old, beat up Blackberry my cousin gave me that happens to have the loudest and best alarm ever lol.
And- the day didn’t turn out as bad as I thought it would- actually pretty quiet. Except for the neighbors on either side of me.

Was the first thing I read for some reason and I laughed a good belly laugh.
So wait, you don’t even use it as a phone? lol but just as an alarm?
Yes even I have realized that the first few minutes after you awake sets the tone for the day. I sometimes have a quarrel with my husband the first thing in the morning and everything thereafter is ruined.
