I hate morning

I know that should probably be the name of my blog but I'm betting it's already taken.
Normal routine I get up take a shower-can't function without one then Oscar the super pug gets let out to take care of business. Some mornings he does not like this arrangement and starts fussing at me as soon as I close the bedroom door so I let him out first for a good long morning frolic-so glad we have a fenced yard.
This morning he started snorting & scratching so I let him out only to discover that it was absolutely pouring out-oh how I love the smell of wet dog in the morning..
Got C up-he is not a morning person either so we don't mesh well in the a.m. but I got him up & started to get his breakfast he comes out & promptly knocks his juice over then sort of stares at me like what now? I know accidents happen and I know he is only 7 but this particular accident happens to him a lot so after yelling at him I got his toast and told him if he was thirsty he could drink some water over the sink. Arbitrary punishment I know but it was the best I could do at 6 a.m. with no caffeine in my system yet.
Somehow we both got ready I think he brushed his teeth but honestly I'm not sure. He could not find any of his five gazillion jackets with a hood so he grabbed a jacket & knit hat not the best rain gear. I did not manage to find a jacket at all for myself but the rain had tapered off, got him on the bus then I had to run by Wally-World to pick up something for work. As I said the rain had tapered off so I did not grab my umbrella wow bad plan on my part the heavens opened up while I was in the store for all of about 10 minute. I went out the door closest to my car with the hope of dashing to it to minimize soakedness-picked the exact moment a pick 'um up truck was barreling through the parking lot so I stopped not wanting to get run over but he stopped as well so I got drenched anyway. I had kind of dried out a little on the drive in but found that it was pouring so much the umbrella was not all that helpful and I stepped into work soggy-bleech
At this point I have the heat cranked up and have finished my coffee and luckily I brought my lunch today so I don't have to go back out into the floods till this afternoon.
Maybe I should tell D to start that Ark in the backyard

Lulu and Mabel are standing at the back door looking at me and saying "WTF??? We're not going out there!!! You some crazy Mom or something?"
