Three-alarm chilly




Sometimes on a cold winter morning a Mower woman will subconsciously hear her alarm. She'll quickly and efficiently incorporate the sound into her dream and continue the beloved slumber.




Before sleep, the woman is basically intelligent and knows how hard it is to arise in the morning. So, she sets a second alarm. She is sure she can fool the additional, sleep-loving, trickier woman inside. The alarm will actually wake her temporarily. The trickier woman will tell the |-intelligent|, responsible woman that she has heard her doctor speaking to her boss and they have agreed that it's best we do not get out of bed today. OK. That really is wise. I agree with the good doctor and the nice boss.



Now, if the intelligent one sets the third alarm, she has a 90% chance of winning the battle. If not, you never know when a student or coworker will call her cell phone and catch her with the sleep voice.

Good morning, starshine. :) The earth says Hello!

today i rewarded myself for getting up at the 1st alarm with a bowl of cookie crisp. "alecia, if you get up now you can have a bowl of cookie crispt before the 2nd alarm goes off." i jumped out of bed.

leash, your student should respect the teacher/student relationship and never question your lateness. he is fired.
