It’s the weekend. We have already established that I hate perky morning people. Why can’t they be perky and leave me the hell out of it? So my phone rings on Saturday at an ungodly hour…like 8:30 or something. I’m dead asleep and not really running things. My hand moves on it’s own accord and I find a phone next to my face….
Annoying screachin morning person: Hellooooo, did I wake you?
Me: wut…who is this?(So I know where to send the hit squad.)
She: It’s Susan.
Me: Wut the hell time is it?
She: It’s 8:30.
Me: It’s Saturday, are you nuts? People are NOT allowed to wake me up on Saturday. My family has strict guidelines.
She: You are SO funny. (No, I’m not. I’m deadly serious…this is bad, real bad. She doesn’t know what can of worms she has opened up.)
Me: Call me later. (slam)
So, I couldn’t get back to sleep…yadda, yadda, etc , etc…bad mood, long day…
It’s Sunday. No one would DARE violate the holiness of a Sunday morning sleep-in….WRONG AGAIN.
My son has his sweet baby daughter call me at 8:30 IN THE MORNING ! They want to take me to breakfast. Are they insane? Who could eat in the middle of the night? (and dang, they put the kid on the phone, now I have to suppress my hateful sleep-deprived rant. )
Me: Could you put Daddy on the phone?
He: Hi Mom.
Me: Are you mad? It’s 8:30 in the @#$@%* morning….I’m asleep!
He: It’s daylight savings time. We turned the clocks ahead, It’s 9:30.
Me: Oh, excuse me…big dif…Are you MAD? It’s 9:30 in the %$^#$#* morning…I’m asleep.
So, I couldn’t go back to sleep…met the kids for pancakes and thought about Daylight Savings Time.
Do I really need to get up an hour earlier so I can get in those crops down on the south 40? Or so I can get my 14 kids out there to do the plowing before school?
And why are the crazed morning people SO happy to wake me up to remind me that I lost an hour of precious sleep? Maybe they’re organized…
Smile girl - you get an hour extra of daylight! Yeah!
Do what I do. Don’t make the mistake of answering the phone at all. Smash the phone against the wall if it rings before 10am. It works everytime! Ps. I only buy dollar store phones.
Ah yes! Another Dollar Store BONANZA! Disposable phones…I need them to match my rubber grapes!
Ah yes…and the dogs sleep “later”cuz they don’t do DST!
Don’t you mean sour grapes?
hahah! 8:30am IS the middle of the night!
