barbra manatee...you are the one for me

I don't know what my problem is sometimes. All year long I wake up at 5:40. It's not easy but once I get up, I am fine. There have even been some mornings where I lay my head on the edge of the bath tub and tell myself that I can take a nap once I get home. It usually helps. This summer has been a completely different story. I can't drag my butt out of bed before 9:00 for anything. This morning, I needed to get up about 9:00. That would have been perfect. But no. I hit the snooze until about 9:40 and then finally got up when I realized that if I didn't I would be late to meet Heather and Jonathan. Then I learned my lesson. If only I would have hit the snooze one less time, there would have been a little less drama to deal with. You see, Lola had climbed up on the bed at some point this morning and was sleeping soundly until we got up. Then I was in the bathroom and suddenly heard her gagging. I ran into the bedroom to find that she had "spit up" a little (barf is not the appropriate word because it was mainly clear...) on Ryan's pillow. I laughed a little and then proceeded to take the sheets and his pillowcase off thinking that it was a little gross but mainly funny. Then I stepped around to my side of the bed where she had spewed all over the bedspread and the floor. Thanks Lola. Thanks for teaching me such a valuable lesson. I will, from this point forward, never hit the snooze more than three times. You are so wise for a chocolate lab. I learn more from you the longer I am with you.

After that extravanganza I still managed to make it on time to catch a train with H & J and the kiddos to go to the Dallas World Aquarium. That place is awesome! I think that my favorite part is Barbara Manatee. She is so cool. I also really like all of the fish tanks from around the world. If you have never been, definitely put it on your to do list.
