Ponderings of Theodore--the early years

The beginning of the school year is always an adjustment especially going to bed and getting up earlier. Here's what Theodore had to say about that when he was younger.





Too Early
My mom makes me wake up early.
Because of that, I am surly.
Why can't she let me sleep,
And near me her silence keep?

  1. Hi live and learn,
    message to Theodore's younger self -- mom's have to get up earlier too!

    School just started this week, and while it's nice to get back on track with routines, it is so tough to wake before 6 AM (for me a night person).

    1. And I think it gets harder and harder to wake up early when it's dark in the mornings.

    2. It's been a shock to the system here this week! Different rhythm from summer hols, but at least I'm getting a quiet hour to myself between 9.30 and 10.30.

    3. Is that quiet hour in the morning? I hope you get a chance to relax during that time.

  2. For that to be the only thing an adult would have to complain about :-)

    1. We all have a different perspective on life, don't we?
