Getting up in the morning is probably one of the least favorite things I have to do in a day.  It does beat the alternative but still is so hard for me to do.  I loved working, but having to get up early in the day was what I hated the most.  Once at work, it was fine, but oh that desire to sleep in was so tempting. Today I am forced to get up earlier than I would like to, but having two dogs 1. Want to do their morning routine which includes emptying their bladders and 2.  Eating.  They are ruthless in expressing their needs to the point that getting up is easier than hearing their constant warning that they want me up.
