....."We have a couple of rules in this house, the big ones revolve around me not waking Blonde Lisa just because I'm bored and I'm not allowed to try and have a conversation until she has had at least a second cup of coffee . Apparently I tend to just go on and on and on, and this can annoy some people. I did learn early on that blonde Lisa was not the person I should annoy".....
I've learned to stop trying to brighten up the DW's morning with laughter and wise-guy comments; she has a built in timer that does not allow the smile to engage any time before noon!
Oh well, I'm a morning person and always will be. Luckily, the littlest guy in the house is too, so I have some cheery company each morning.
