     I am not a morning person….at all! This morning I certainly wasn’t a morning person. On a normal weekday morning I wake up about 5:30 and before my alarm had gone off my black Labrador retriever had decided to start barking, at who knows what, right outside my bedroom window. It wasn’t a bark here, a bark there either. She barked for a good solid hour. Then I doze back off to sleep and my husband’s alarm goes off around 4:30. Well he never hears his alarm, so I had to wake him up so he could shut it off.  Let’s just say I didn’t wake him nice! I lay in bed and for another thirty minutes and just decide to get up. There’s no way I can get any sleep knowing I have to get up in another thirty minutes. I go brush my teeth, then head into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee all while shooting daggers at my husband. Like it’s his fault our dog barked all night. Then I find out he didn’t get any coffee made because even though he woke up at 4:30 he fell back asleep in the living room! So I basically woke up for no reason when his alarm went off. Now the poor guy didn’t have a chance, I slammed my empty coffee cup down on the counter and stomped back to the bathroom to get ready for work. He tried to talk to me, but all of my answers were one word replies. If my morning starts off bad it just spirals downward and my husband takes all of the blame. I guess it’s good I can recognize my behavior, but I don’t do anything to change it…for better or worse…
