Worst ways to wake up.
One of my worst ways is to wake up with a splitting headache. That sucks.


What else is a shitty way to wake up?

3. Waking up with a killer hangover is fun too.
But still better than waking up dead.

5. Gripping, breathtaking leg cramp.
Alternately: tun*a-breathed yawn in my face by The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger.

*Note to CMW: Don't feed him tuna cat food after 11 p.m.

7. I hate waking up to the sounds of a cat horking up a hairball.
It will be an absolutely awful day if the cat is ON the bed while he's horking up that hairball.

That is among my least favorite ways to wake up, I think. Waking up to the sounds of a kid puking in the bedroom is probably next on the list, because I can't launch the kid off the bed.

11. By having an enormous 32-ounce cup of ice and iced tea
knocked over at 5:00 am onto your head by the cat, a mere hour after you've FINALLY managed to fall asleep after being up all night with "morning" sickness.

Yep, that was definitely the worst ever.

35. well...more involved than originally thought.
about $400.oo. Had to call in a plumber. He got me water but, I have to cut it off when I get everything washed. The wellhead busted. He will be back tomorrow to finish the job. Meanwhile, I have to wrap the pipes he did fix. A gauge and something else is busted, too. Oh well, it is a 20 year old well. I guess I was due.

40. If you lived closer
I'd give you a hand. I do well in crawlspaces during winter.

14. On the bathroom floor after puking and passing out...
...while hearing my wife talking to the 911 dispatcher. That happened the last time I had the stomach flu.

15. A macaw in the next room screaming for breakfast.
0500 hours, a military training instructor throwing a steel garbage can down a concrete floor and bellowing, "FORMATION! 5 MINUTES! MOVE IT!"

A B-52 taking off 100 yards away, especially nice after a drunken barracks blow out the night before.

3am, the spousal unit whispering "Are you awake? There's something wrong."

24. _This_ "Sexy Beast"?
I agree: he's awfully sexy in that role, in a very strange (to my tastes) sort of way, but still ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdIKeMAgsbU

20. By the cops knocking on your door
With an arrest warrant. It's only happened to me once, and it was a case of mistaken identity: that's what I get for having a bleeping common name!

Second worst way is by a 3 a.m. phone call. It's almost never something you want to hear. It's either a persistent drunk who's mistaken your number for that of his old girlfriend, a psychotic relative or bad news - or some combination thereof.

Third worst way is how I woke up this morning: discovering you've slept funny and some part of your body now refuses to work. Who knew you needed a shoulder for so many things?

31. With your children standing beside your bed...
one of them, mascara streaming down her cheeks,
yelling, over and over again, "It's NOT HIS FAULT".

(I did this to MY parents when I was a teen, and
my brother was hit by an AIRBORNE car that landed
on our hood. We walked home to tell my parents
that the car had been totaled.)

My Dad later told me it was the most frightening
moment of his life, and he had been a MARINE.
