Ringing of the Bells!

I am laying, peacefully sleeping. Abby is lightly snoring at the foot of the bed. Roxie, the small tiger that we believe is masquerading as a cat, was in her usual spot. Mylie was as normal on my right side, under the covers, head on the pillow and as close to me as she could get. Roger had left for work. It was our favorite sleeping time. No fighting for covers or position on the bed.

All of a sudden this God awful ringing starts pealing through house! It sounded like the Bells of St. Mary were in my living room! Had I drunk a bottle of tequila last night I wondered as I am grabbing my head and falling out of bed and tripping over my feet and dogs and a cat and carpet? No! I swore of Tequila the last time Teresa and I drank two bottles while making margaritas. Hangover lasted a week and I decided I was way to old for that! Besides if it were in my head the dogs wouldn't be barking at it. It's the doorbell!

Okay, mystery solved! I managed to find the door and get it open and there is the little face beaming up at me “Hi Nan! We haven't had breakfast yet!” “Yeah, well I haven't had coffee yet!” Then coming up the walk there is another one who is crying she wanted to be the one to ring the doorbell! “Can I ring it anyway?” “Oh Dear God help me” You have to remember with every ring there are like 10 barks in stereo. And bringing up the rear and walking as slow as he can is the last one. And of course, more ringing of the bell!. I am not going to make it through the day! And of course Mylie manages to get out in the confusion. Luckily we have figured out that we can bribe her so Austin grabbed the snacks and she came back. All I needed was to have to chase her little butt around in my PJ's.'s before my coffee at 8:30 in the morning.

Cara left for work. I managed to pour the pink Mini Wheat Cereal in one bowl and the blue Mini Wheat cereal in two others, pour the milk and get it front of them, get my coffee (Again I cannot stress enough how much I LOVE my Keurig!! Cup of coffee in 2 minutes!) and settle into our day. Hopefully the rest of it will go much smoother!
