What Really Gets Me Up Each Morning

Congratulations!!! ANDREA, nice to see you on Nates' winning list. By the looks of his winners, it seems as if he's a real picky person.... xox~ Linda

thank you

'if the trades are straight across of the names or not'----what does it mean?pl.

Congratulations on your win in Ed's "What makes you wake up each and everyday" contest Andrea. Love, Carol

Boy, don't we all. One of the realities of life I guess. Congratulations Andrea

Congratulations Andrea. Actually that is probably what gets most of us out of bed. Love, Joyce

haha good one Andrea... We understand the cats thing. They can be quite demanding. Almost as much as a stretched bladder! Yup, happily Catholic . And that day of the dead is formally called All Souls Day whereby special day set aside where we pray for all who have already passed on. Enjoyed your poem

HA HA i think it is the bath room that calls me out of bed. Pets wake you but now I have only fish in the house. Cute poem. love phyl

well Venus wakes me up every morning and then the cat starts .haha.what a pair.. this is a fantastic write .. good luck in the contest..pets are a great reason to get up.. and work is a close second.. luv..

very funny poem. good luck in the contest

hate those groin shots too that will wake up the dead great entry for contest dear friend keep up the nice work looks like a winner to me

I can relate to the cat as well as all the rest. Good one, Andrea. Kim

Indubidubly!

The latter sure gets many of us up Andrea, and animals can be very demanding. Good luck in Ed's contest with this "you" reality piece :)

When I still had my cat I could relate to the start of your piece and now I am a lady of a certain age - I can relate to the end lol - good luck in the comp, love Janette

Oh yes....many of us would stay in bed a little longer, without nature calling!! Cute one Andrea!!

LOL, great write, especially loved the last line! I guess that's reason enough to get up : )

LOL Yes, I remember cats whining to be fed each morning, but it was having to pee that MADE me get up out of bed, Andrea. I love your entry! The Potato Pancake poem did not appear even when I tried to edit it, so I reposted it. Thanks for the heads up. Best wishes in Ed's contest! Love, Carolyn

Okay....Andrea..Good luck in the contest..Reads like a winner to me..You do have the option of going back to bed though..Reads like a winner...Thanks for stopping by..Yes, years ago occasionally we would go to the drug store and get a coke with cherry added to it..'twas delicious..I am not familiar with the song but it is possible that if I heard it I would remember it..Sara

Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry with us and for your kind comments on my writing Andrea. Love, Carol

Wonderful write. Best of luck for contest in Ed Ebb's. Thanks. bl

Alarming! tony

LOL!!

This one made me chuckle Andrea. Those are the same reasons for me. My dogs have to go outside and I have to go inside. ;) Great basic reason to get out of bed. Should do great in the contest. Good luck. God Bless, JB
