I’m Not Getting Up Until Mommy Does!

Nope! Not yet!

I have a very important morning rule.

Nobody gets up until Mommy gets up.

Mommy doesn’t have to set a alarm anymore, which works out perfectly for me because I happen to be a big fan of sleeping in.

If Mommy is still in bed, I’m still in bed.

Why would I get up?

Breakfast will still be there.

My sisters will still be there.

The house certainly isn’t going anywhere.

Sometimes I open my eyes just long enough to check on Mommy.

Still sleeping?

Perfect.

Back to sleep.

But the SECOND Mommy starts moving around, I know.

One eye opens.

Then the other.

I watch very carefully because there is a big difference between Mommy rolling over and Mommy actually getting up.

I’ve been fooled before.

But once her feet hit the floor?

Okayyy… I guess we’re starting the day.

One of the nice things about getting older is knowing there’s no reason to rush.

Especially when you’re retired.

Wait…

Mommy’s retired.

I guess I am too!
