The 'Kittenzilla' alarm clock went off at 5, stomping across my head

7. Bless her heart.😇

All my life I’ve been an early riser. When I woke up I was wide awake and ready to face the day, which, as my sweet mama pointed out, also had to face me. It took me years to understand that my energy could be a bit intense, off-putting even, to those who eased into the day.

I remember one morning back during junior high, waking up from a sleepover at a friend’s house. We were having breakfast. Her mom peered over her coffee cup at me and said, “my goodness, chatterbox, you’re so hard to take in the morning!” I got up, walked around the table, gave her a big hug and whispered in her ear. I love you, too, Mrs.B, and aren’t you glad I’m not your daughter? “Oh, my, your dear mother” 😂

So here’s to the early risers, and those who live with us!
