Mean In the Morning

Two cups of coffee
One eye open but I am not sure if I have my pajamas off yet
I do not even care.
I doubt I am awake enough to put deodorant on in the right spots.
My husband begins to walk into the kitchen
I growl a warning growl. 
He backs off.
My mean side is laughing and doing a little jig.
My breath nearly knocks me down
Mornings are not for pussies.

I am a monster and my husband cringes under his desk.

I have been up since 2:26 a.m., too excited to sleep. I get to go back to my regular school today!
