no sleep for this girl

i have anxiously been awaiting this day all week simply so i could wake up on my own terms. foolishly, i even thought i may sleep in until 10am, a rare event in my life. promptly at 7am i heard noise in the living room. since roxy sleeps under our bed i immediately thought someone was in our house. i got up to check only to find roxy playing fetch with herself between the kitchen and the stairs (she may have gotten up with daddy at 4:30). she seemed pretty pleased within herself that she had woke me up. after putting her out to do her business, i heard more noise. i thought, "boy, the mice are getting pretty big to be making that much noise." but, to my suprise, when i went on the back deck there was the biggest black bird i've ever seen perched there, watching the mustangs feed. that got roxy going again. thinking that it's too early for old macdonald's farm, i left roxy on the deck to get rid of the bird and mustangs. as i lay here, i believe that there is still hope for more sleep. so i will try again, esspecially since roxy has made herself comfortable and is dozing!!
