Sweet

Woke up this morning, looked at the clock Bleary eyed, thought it read 5:23 Way too early... turned over and went back to sleep Woke up again which seemed like 10 minutes later The clock read 7:42 Thought for a moment in my stupor Holy crap! Gotta get up! Hey wait a minute... I'm retired No one's waiting for me to solve any problems To create a market plan for a new product My big easy chair awaits... SWEET © Jack Ellison 2014

Lightened and thundered early this morning around 3 to 5 AM. All the puppies ran and jumped up to sleep with me! Yep, no sleep... Not to be left out... Dragon came along with his blankie too. Cuddling in... we almost over slept when we needed to sent Hubby off to work! Never miss that and always say a silent prayer for his day to be good... I don't miss the craziness of work any more. But instead of an easy chair... for me it's a computer chair...
