[QUOTE="witzend, post: 333180, member: 99"] Firstly, let me say that I am bound and determined that we both are going to start getting up at a decent hour in the morning. I have never been a help in the morning and there's no reason I can't get up early enough to make sure that everyone is up and running and that my own day isn't starting at noon. This morning we are up at 6:00 AM. My alarm goes off as I am already in the bathroom. His isn't working and he won't buy a new one. I finish up and go turn it off. By then, the little one is whining to get out of his crate at the foot of our bed, and husband is still laying in bed. I let the other dogs out while I pull on my pants, my uggs, and my coat. Puppy is now barking. I let the dogs in, open the crate, get the puppy, struggle to pick him up instead of letting him run to pee on the rug. It's difficult for me to stand up at all, let alone stand up with a squirming puppy in hand. I take puppy out, he pees, sniffs around, etc. It's been 9 minutes since the alarm went off. husband is still in bed when I come back in. I ask him, "You're not[I] really [/I]still laying in bed, are you?" "I'm [I]not!" [/I]said as he is still laying in bed.:angry: Well, husband it seems to me that actually [I]are[/I] still laying in bed! Big put upon groan, and he gets out of the bed. I feed the dogs, get my coffee, and he rolls out about 5 minutes later. I tell him to get his breakfast, which he takes to the computer room. I remind him that if he doesn't want to watch the puppy, he needs to close the door on him. He brings the puppy in with him. Two minutes later, he lets the puppy out. [I]Thirty minutes[/I] later he has finished his bowl of cereal, and comes out. During this time I have taken the puppy out twice, paid the bills, balanced the checkbook, eaten my breakfast standing up, recycled the junk mail, and swept and cleaned under the dog crate. Big hassle for him, I ask him to check the rat trap in the garage so he can toss it before he leaves if there's something in it. There's not. Then he sits for 1/2 an hour. He's been up for two hours, and just now is getting out of the shower and has been in front of his computer again for the last 10 minutes. The man is always tired. Is it just me, or does it seem like you could sleep longer and [I]still[/I] be to work on time if you just didn't sit around reading web pages and staring at tv? Mind you, he is riding a light rail train to work that has wireless internet and he is taking his laptop with him. Why not do it on the train? [/QUOTE]
