I threw my clock out the window

...cause I wanted to see time fly!
(Laffy Taffy jokes! Gotta love 'em!)


You know those nights,
after a busy day of non-stop doing, when once again you find yourself in the

h a v e n. o f. h i b e r n a t i o n.

When you collapse your exhaustified self on your bed and lovingly nuzzle your face into your freshly laundered pillow.

When you pull the sheets over your shoulders and around your face, smiling to yourself, literally excited by the sensation of long-awaited comfort.

When you curl up in a fetal position, the crickets chirping melodically outside your window,
and your heavy eyelids close.

When you drift ever so peacefully into a...s u b c o n s c i o u s...s l u m b e r . . .

AND SUDDENLY

your alarm is buzzing oBnoxIouSLy in your ear at 5:30am!! You HIT snooze, roll over and attempt to uselessly cling to the wisps of your vapor-like dreams as they

b...R...e...A...k

between your fingertips...


Yeah,
story of my life!


So, here's to
good nights,
sleepin' tight,
and
sweet dreams
that take their own
sweet time!
