In addition to being doomsday, tomorrow is also Cookie's first day of 1st grade. So we only had time for one story tonight. Bright and early I intend to walk into his room and throw him out of bed. Maybe I'll put batteries into that old alarm clock -- the one that plays reveille and screams "wake up, rise and shine!" in a really obnoxious voice.

Let's see, who did I last wake up in that manner...?
