[stylist] Let's Play

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Ha-ha! One comment, you start most your sentences with I, and typically
you want to avoid to many I sentences.

I tell my hubby to put his clock across the room, but he still gets up,
turns it off and gets back into bed, LOL!

At least it's his wife he's sleeping next too, grin!

Hi,
Since I started this, here is my try.

Today I awoke to that shriek that beeps every half second. I placed it
across the room so that I would have to walk across the cold floor to
turn it off. I had to make sure I was awake. No choice.

I can't miss my bus. I have two to take, plus the school bus. It would
be one leap to the floor and then across the room to quiet that stupid
cube for another day.

My feet didn't hit the floor. My first leap still had me on the bed. My
legs were still straight. Then, another leap. One more. My feat landed
on warm carpet, not cold floor. I landed at the foot of my bed, not the
side. I leaned forward to get my balance. my hands, then my chest
thudded against a wall.

It was Saturday, not Friday. I wasn't student teaching. I was sleeping
in. I wasn't in my college dorm room. I was home, in my bedroom. I
hadn't been in my twin bed. I was in my queen bed. It was then that I
realized that my heart was slowing.

"Are you OK, son?" came my dad's concerned, deep, tired voice from his
side of the bed.

"Yeah." I said.

Then, a rustle, a click, and one more muffled sentence from Dad. "That
damned alarm."

Jim
