It’s my turn already? Uggg, I just… Okay. Sheesh. There. I close my eyes. Take a deep breath, and try not to think. It’s okay, no biggie.
Beep, beep, beep!
I slam press hard. I’m not ready for this. No worries, it’s fine…
Beep, beep, beep!
Goodness, I KNOW it’s my turn, I’m just not feeling it. It’s hump day. Two more to go.
Beep, beep, beep!
I just fell asleep after my 3:00 a.m. jolt out of slumber.
Why?
We go back and forth in five minute increments until 6:10. My eye pillow flops to the floor at my last attempt to slam the alarm clock, but instead I turn it off. I should’ve just set the thing for 6:15 a.m.
I get out of bed and don’t even look back at the sleep I left behind. It left me at 3:00, but I gladly took it back with open arms, reconciling my frustration and sinking deep into delicious rest that’s cut too short with my day job’s wake-up call.

Ugh, I feel ya. I hope gained energy throughout the day.

I managed. It wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been, but it sure was hard getting out of bed this moring.

I so feel you with this slice…I pressed snooze a million times this morning. What is it about alarm clocks that annoy us so much!!

I love the lines, “I get out of bed and don’t even look back at the sleep I left behind. It left me at 3:00…” It makes getting out of bed sound like a bad breakup. Pair that with your “taking turns” and your plural “we go back and forth” and it makes time and sleep seem like the antagonists in this slice (not to mention the alarm clock!)

Ha, ha, yes, a bad breakup indeed. Sleep, for whatever reason, doesn’t seem to like me.

Some nights are better than others. Hopefully the next few days will make snoozing much better.
