I’m on a roll with these titles, huh? Or would that be a rut?

God I struggled to get out of bed this morning. I slept great until the paper guy came. See, he drives a monster truck and it must be starving because it growls so loud that it wakes me up every morning. They usually come around 4:30 but this morning, they came arrived a little before 4:00

Since it’s been so lovely here these last two days/nights, we’ve been sleeping with the windows open. Which was fabulous for the comfort level, but disastrous for sleeping through the night.

That is a loud-ass truck.

And we’ve discovered that the paper guy is actually paper people. There are at least 2 of them and they tag team. They carry the papers to the door (which is fabulous on one hand) but when you have the windows open, you can hear them shouting their plans of attack.

Anyway, this morning, the monster truck rumbled and roared before 4:00 an the paper-people attacked the neighborhood with gusto, and I never seemed to get back to sleep.

So now I’m drinking coffee like it’s lifeblood, glaring at my kids whose very existence is on my nerves this morning, and wondering if I’m going to make it through the day without taking a nap.

Gee Mel, cranky much?
