It's the "Why the hell are you awake so early?" thread

[LeftyMom]

Everybody tell why you're awake (in my case an unpleasant dream) and think restful thoughts toward those of us struggling to sleep, would you?

[Briarius]

1. because the kiddo is up

can't be sleeping in on the weekend, oh no! But come Monday it will be impossible to get her up at the same time she woke me up today...

2. I can never get back to sleep after nightmares.

What was yours about?

[LeftyMom]

4. Sentient automated car assembly plant goes homicidal

Sounds like the plot of a sci fi channel original feature.

9. OMG!!!! If I had that great a reason for being up, I'd be up RIGHT NOW!

10. Got a relatively early night

Was sipping fine tequila and trying to watch a movie, got all sleepy and toddled off to bed at around 10.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Early?????

I slept until 7:15, which is the time I will leave for work tomorrow and the next four days.

16. I am having a brunch at my house.

I made banana muffins from scratch, and I am assembling a nice fruit salad. I have fresh-squeezed juice and coffee, and I'll make eggs. It's going to be nice!

Later, I have a soccer game to attend, and then a block party. Beautiful fall day here in Philly!
