If I turn off my computerer or move it just a bit, she's ready to jump into my chair to keep it warm. I wake up early to write so I don't mind the dog being up early with me, it's the kids I want to sleep late and them staying in bed until 9:00 in the morning would be heaven.

Mine wake up with the light, which means 6:00-ish this time of year. Of course, I also own an inn, and those guests want their breakfasts, so sleeping in a distant dream for me. As for the dog, well, he's sleeping again at the moment. No problems with that lazy guy. I’m still stuck on the part where your kids sleep until nine or ten.

Sadly, I DO have a book due this summer — August 1. Maybe the dogs realize that and that’s why they’re getting me up early, LOL.

My husband has woken up many a time to hear me talking my dialogue out loud, just to make sure it all "sounds" right -- because he wants to know who I'm talking to. Maybe I should just say I'm talking to the dogs ;-) Shirley Ray-Anne,

For my KIDS sleeping late means 7 or 7:30. When the dh is working, I'm still up at 6. And when he's not, that means he AND the kids are underfoot. Good thing I didn't have a hot and heavy deadline this summer, lol. LOL Shirley. For my KIDS sleeping late means 7 or 7:30. When the dh is working, I’m still up at 6.
