The sound of footsteps

The alarm and the nagging feeling that I have to be at work at 9:00 am.

My dad (I'll miss that at uni  ;D)

Hubby saying he felt like he had low blood sugar, he has a hour and a half appointment for dental work in a couple hours, so he was trying not to eat too much, 'cause he didn't want to get sick during the process, but he had to eat at least a little something.

A natural reason

A bizarre dream.

I couldn't breathe because my head was so stuffed up.

My dad waking me up and telling me to take the car to the body shop.  :( At 7:30 in the morning y'all!

Noises from the kitchen

Dog needing to go outside.

That natural reason again.

The phone  at 6:00 am  hubby telling me to get up for Cardio Rehab aka Hell and Torture.

The first time I could sleep in and I was looking forward to it. It started about 2:30 a.m. with a meow from Electra. She then curled up with me and at that point I realized that Elvira was at my feet. Shortly there after, Elvira woke up and decided it was a good time to curl up on my neck. The purring in my ear wasn't bad but it was sharp claws in my head & the licking on my nose was bothersome. This went on and off until I finally got out of bed about 9. No, her food dish WAS full (made sure of that last night because I did want to sleep in). I think she missed me. 



Cat

Carlos saying, "The natives are getting restless." and then I heard it. My neighbor yelling and a kid yelling back. Then the kids were all yelling/singing following by the dog joining in.  ::)  Looking forward to the winter when 1. the windows will be closed, 2. the kids will be in school.

Cat
Not the cats this morning?  ;D

Mr. Sunshine

The alarm.  I did not want to get up.  :(

The natural to switch the computer on.

Thunder-and of course the cat running under the bed because the thunder scared her.



Cat

Hubby to tell me to get ready so we could start our journey back home

The thought that the world will end today.

The thought that the world will end today.



It's the end of the world as we know it. (And I'm feeling fine).

Oops, wrong thread.  ;) :D

We are all fine now, for that machine thingy did not work.

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and seeeeee...

my alarm clock should have woken me up, but it didn't and I was an hour late to work  ::)

The sound of footsteps

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy



Cat

Cat
Easy come easy go!

Easy come easy go!



A little high, little low.



Cat

A little high, little low.



Cat
Anyway the wind blows...

...that would wake you up ?

Anyway the wind blows...

...that would wake you up ?



Doesn't really matter to me. To me.



Cat

the same thing that always wakes me up, my stupid alarm clock with it's annoying beeping

The sound of Canadian geese honking as they are making their annual southern journey.



Cat

From an afternoon nap, my wife coming home.

...that sudden urge!

...that sudden urge!


Ditto Darn Lasix

Just then from an afternoon nap, loud cheering of the spectators at the Ryder Cup

...that sudden urge!


Me too.  Twice!  and then finally the alarm the third time I got up last night/this morning.

the 3 year old kid next door banging on the walls with his toy..probably too many E numbers again

>:(

my day off an i woke up at 5.30am wondering if id checked date codes correctly on some (short coded) fresh salmon at work..my boss won't have enjoyed the text i sent him at 06.15am if he was on lates today   ;D ;D

:D

I suspect there are issues

I suspect there are issues
Sorry I meant to say ADHD, but it could be all the same thing?

That sudden need again

My wife, she needed to know something.

My cat meowing up a storm-though I don't know why. Her food dish was full.



Cat

My cat meowing up a storm-though I don't know why. Her food dish was full.



Cat
How about the drink dish?

How about the drink dish?



One was VERY low but still had some in it. The other was full. (Yeah, they have two water dishes). I just don't get it.



Cat

Cat
The water was stale in the dish and smelt differently?

A light being switched on.

I can't remember.  ;D ;D ;D

Whta else would today?

Tam's cell phone

Noises from the kitchen

My daughter.  I think I need a new alarm clock.

My husband's snoring-at 4:00 this morning.  ::)



Cat

My alarm clock, unlike yesterday.  It's amazing how that can happen when you set the clock right. ;D

The cat walking on my hair. Yup-her food dish was empty.




Cat

The natural reason once again.

Jocelyn yelling at me to wake up

The sound of something been dropped on the floor.

My husband staring at me.  I swear his stares make noise!  ;D

My Cabbage Patch Baby Doll on the headboard of my bed, falling off and smacking me in the nose this morning.  >:(

It hurt like getting punched with fist!
(She has a hard plastic head)

Natural reasons.

The sound of my cell phone ringing!  >:( I gotta remember to turn the ringer off!

The front door closing.

A whooping big clap of thunder

the bright sun.

Stupid kid next door who was talking VERY LOUD to no one & screaming at the top of his lungs-for no reason. Sure he stopped AFTER we both were awake.  >:( >:( >:(



Cat

I have a similar situation.
A mentally challanged Man {He's 21} visits His Grandmother most weekends.He's very loud,curses a lot....He usually starts about 7-8am....The Landlady has spoken to the Grandmother about complaints She's received....But He's pretty uncontrolable.

The boy bouncing into my bed.

The kid was only about 4 or 5 years old-but when you are trying to sleep and hear that, it doesn't matter what age they are. When Carlos came in from getting the paper, I asked him, "Did you shoot that kid?" He said yes.  :D ;D ;D ;D  Of course neither one of us would have hurt him.



Cat

^ you would probably do the entire neighbourhood a favour if you DID shoot him/her!

I was awoken this morning be a huge meteor that completey destroyed my city! Can't wait for what might happen tomorrow!  :)

He's probably autistic.

A natural reason

The sound of my father in the kitchen dropping  a bottle of water.  >:( at 7 am!

I went back to sleep and woke on my own at 9:30.  8)

The sound of someone in the kitchen

the phone ringing - it was 6:15 am (he leaves for work at 3:30 am) and they wanted hubby :-\\

morning thunder.

Same thing as yesterday, my lovely alarm clock, but this time another sound was added.  The sound of little paws beating on my door and meows.  Not Matthew, my cat.

myself.

Tim turned the TV on.

I just opened my eyes

A Charlie Horse in my leg 10 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off.  :o >:(

A twitch in my leg.

wow...you woke up dead!!!! that hardly ever happens!!!!

The sunrise at 5AM

Sunlight in the room

I woke up instantly.

A very BAD dream that Matthew's Dad showed up on his motorcycle with a rifle!  (actually, in the dream it was Matthew's toy musket, but you get the idea.)

The telephone

*&^%%$#*@%! hot flashes!  >:( >:( >:(




Cat

I;m sorry you had a bad dream.  :( And I didn't know that they still made toy guns for kids.

I was awakened by my idiot neighbor mowing his lawn--at 6:30 am. The slugs aren't even up that early!  >:(  <--this face isn't angry enough.

my fan.

my fan.
You have a groupie in your bedroom?

The sound of movement in the kitchen

Another darn thunderstorm!

Awwww, thanks-it's all part of being divorced from a psycho....it happens.  Matthew's musket is wooden and doesn't even hold any kind of ammo, real or play, so it's more of a replica to look at than to play with.  That's why I had at least a small laugh from the dream after I realized it was a dream ;)

RAIN!!!!!!!!

An elbow in my back.  My daughter crawled into bed with me at 1am and I was too tired to kick her out.

Sunrise around 5AM

I woke up automatically.

From my afternoon nap, the telephone!

my constant cough from a cold I have

light showers.

my neighbor's automatic garage door opening.

I had a strange dream about Prince.  >:( I woke up with a start and have spent most of the day pissed at him. As usual.  ::)

;D What were you pissed about?

;D What were you pissed about?


I think she's pissed that he's still alive... given the choice she'd prefer prince's death to michaels....  oddly enough i had the same reaction when i went home after losing Carly and seeing my mom's stupid dog... that "Why couldn't it have been you instead?"  it totally understandable Tiff.

sorry I just spoke for you again but I'm bored.... 


back on topic..... I woke to my alarm clock.... about 6 times...every hour on the hour because I was doing laundry and the drying cycle was an hour long... it takes two hours to dry a load and on the second hour I would start a new wash load... then dry that for an hour and repeat the process.... I got three loads done this morning but not a lot of sleep.  ;D

Movement in the hallway

the birds.

nothing... I haven't been to bed yet...

I woke up to hubby getting out of bed, so I got up too. 

The usual. Awful alarm clock beeping.

the cloudy morning.

Footsteps

the sun.

The phone.My Sister called at 9:30 am.

I was having a lovely dream about Michael Jackson singing to me and then all of sudden there was this popping noise.  >:(

Some jerk next door was popping firecrackers. WHO THE HELL POPS FIRECRACKERS AT 7 IN THE MORNING?

I had a good notion to get in my car, turn the sound system to 11 and let Prince scream for a while.

That urgent need once again.

nothing just woke up automatically.

You know that feeling that you are about to fall out of bed, like you're on the edge then you jump? Thank goodness it happened or I might have been late for work!

The feeling of not wanting to sleep anymore.

the bright sun.

My dumb alarm clock.  >:(

A phone call....thank goodness, because my alarm clock was flashing-apparently the power went out overnight and came back on form a thunderstorm... :)

the sun.

the sun.
Do you close the curtains at night?

Do you close the curtains at night?


No I have blinds.

A really funny dream. I dreamt that my friend and I were trying to catch a bus (I've only ridden the city bus once in my life) and when the bus pulled up, the driver wouldn't let us on because she didn't like MJ. So later that day--in the dream--I see the bus driver at a store and she left the keys in her car and left it running. I went and threw it into reverse and it flew down a hill into a tree.

And then I woke up.  :)

I gotta stop eating pizza before bed.

Natural reasons today.

the bright sun.

It is always the sun that wakes you up, have you thought about sleeping in another room?

My alarm clock.

Nothing.  It was heaven!

There is no other room,unless I can sleep in the basement where that's a little cooler.

A fire alarm at 1:50AM this morning. Everyone in the building went outside. Fire engines didn't arrive until 2:10. That's 25 minutes later.
Apparently our building's alarm was not connected properly with th epowers that be.

Thankfully, no fire tho.

Banging and hammering at the front door. We are getting our storm door installed.



Cat

The guys who are working on our roof knocking at the back door needing to plug in their equipment.

This morning I didn't hear them coming in to plug in the equipment but when they turned their equipment on-that is what woke me up.



Cat

Workmen scrapping the pavement outside with their shovels.

At 5 a.m.-Carlos.  ;)
At 8 a.m.-the guys working on the roof-but this will be the last time. Sometime this morning, I heard one of the guys say, "We are done!" YAY!!!!

Now that's classic.

a headache  :(

I woke myself up.

I woke up laughing from a dream.

And my doll was about 70  dollars. Not bad.  :) He is an accomplishment. This was a doll I've wanted since 1999. 11 years I wanted one. And finally the little guy is on his way! I'm so happy.

But it's also kind of sad. Once he arrives, I've kind of finished my MJ collection. I can't think of anything I wanted more than him.  :)

Eh, but something else will probably pop up. I mean if people keep buying Elvis junk, I'm sure to find another MJ collectible. I love it.

Back on topic, I had a funny dream about cows.

I forgot to mention yesterday, we were woken up by the phone. &^%$#* Cigna called at 7:30 and they thought we were in Vermont which would have meant 6:30!!! WTF!!!! The woman apologized but still...what the f*** were they thinking? Carlos said that she had a Southern accent which meant it was probably 6:30 where she was, too.
