Yesterday first day of school they were excited and ready, today not as much. Waking the guys I heard come on dad just fifteen more minutes or I got a shower last night so wake me at 05:45 not happening people lets move chow is ready so get up and feed those handsome faces. And not one of them got out of bed at 04:45 their alarms were going off, so I went to our bedroom woke up Duncan pup ,get them up get them moving Duncan ok man.
And he does first call so with tail wagging barks licks grrrr grabbing blankets, going from room to room. And now we have three young men sitting at the kitchen bar eating breakfast ready to greet the school day. The bitching continues about getting up I tell them boys I have not had a good night sleep since 84 when I hit the army and then 34 years in teamsters so buck up candy asses. I hear yea sure and you walked up hill both ways , I love these guys dearly.

The cool kids rode velociraptors. You had to be careful round those.....

(2,637 posts)to get any sleep. About the time I hit 55 my body started actively rebelling against early morning hours. I always was a night owl. Usually pulled 2nd shift in the AF, and that was okay. Private DoD job expected me to be there by 0700, and I lived an hour away. Summer was bad enough, but winters in snow and ice were murder.
Now, I'm retired and tend to sleep on an up all night/up all next day... then sleep a normal amount of hours, and then repeat. Can't do it as well as I did when I was in my 30's... then I'd sleep until Friday and be up from Friday night thru to Sunday. Can't do that much anymore... not enough brain cells to replenish the ones that go "whew!" (LOL)
