4:45 a.m. – Alarm goes off blaring local radio station next to my head. Slap alarm.
5:15 a.m. – Get woken up by the barking dogs and realize, yet again, I had slept in. Yeah, I know – how can I call 5:15 a.m. “sleeping in”, right? Kids, it’s all about having kids. It used to be they would not let you sleep in; but once they start sleeping in, you focus on getting shit done before they get up.
5:16 a.m. – Shuffle out to the family room like some sort of slumber party zombie paying careful attention to dog traps like shredded things, peed-on things, or chewed-on things. Let the dogs out.
5:18 a.m. – (Yes, I noted down these exact times with this post in mind.) Throw on jeans and a grubby house t-shirt, socks and shoes. Poke Mrs. Ubernerkle awake, and not in the fun way.
