Wake Up Time

I wrote this for my snipoff for this week and thought it also applied for my blog.

You are on a dock with your feet soaking in the water. In front of you is one of those views they put on the April or May month in calendars. It’s a beautiful mountain with one of those meadows in full bloom at the base of the mountain before it meets the water. You have your headphones in and the song that is playing is far too familiar. You wonder what on earth is happening as the music grows louder and the view dwindles out of sight. It literally just starts to disappear slipping right out of your sight and all you are left with is the music and darkness.

When it finally clicked in that sleepy brain of yours you were not pleased. You grabbed your phone attempting to click enter on your phone once the snooze option was highlighted. You had quite the struggle accomplishing your task of hitting snooze. First you tried to unlock the front screen but you failed about three times so you decided to just slide it open in order to automatically unlock the buttons. While trying to slide the phone open you managed to hit the button that starts up the internet, wait a second you don’t have internet. You then hit the clear button about a million times in order to avoid being charged by the phone company for your clumsy mistake. At this  point the snooze button was no longer and option and you decided it was good the window in your room is equipped with a screen because if not, the phone would have surly be hurled out the window headed straight for Sacagawea Hall.

You decided you would rather give in and force yourself out of bed than deal with anymore technology. Oh boy, why on earth did you make it so that your bed was so high off the ground? Well, after 1 2 3 you took the jump and luckily your wobbly morning legs held. Now the race was on, you set your alarm for so late that you only had 10 minutes remaining before you needed to be seated in Spanish. You should really have considered going to bed an hour or two earlier the night before.

  1. Erica, I love your line, "You decided you would rather give in and force yoruself out of bed than deal with any more technology." It's a funny time we live in that we're already dealing with technology even before we get out of bed in the morning, isn't it?
