Not a Morning Person

Pippi is not a morning person.

This morning a little before six I woke to the sound of sobbing. I traced the sounds to her room. "Are you crying? What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep. The birds are chirping!" She said with as much venom as she could muster. "They start at five o'clock and don't stop. And then it just gets lighter and lighter. It's like I'm watching the sunrise."

"But watching the sunrise is a wonderful thing," I tell her, and then get out of there before she can throw something at me.

Seriously though, I did shut her windows in order to muffle the sound and she apparently went back to sleep - because it's after 9 and she hasn't emerged from her room yet.

LOL, it's a good thing Big Brother moved to a downstairs room because he was getting ready to commit violence upon the mockingbird who would perch each morning outside his window and go on for 25 minutes.
