Seriously bird? PICK A NEW WINDOW!
Think of any old classic movie in the morning time.. Where the camera pans in to a bedroom as the character waking up is bathed in sunlight, they stretch gracefully and smile as they hear the birds chirping and singing outside of their window.. That's how I woke up today! Almost. The only differences were that my hand was totally numb from hanging over the side of the bed and the "singing" outside my window was actually closer to a squawking, dying crow or something! I opened one eye and scanned the room until I landed on the clock.. 7:42.. My husband had only been gone FIVE minutes and I wake up to THAT. Remember how the seagull on The Little Mermaid couldn't carry a tune for anything.. You know, that romantic part where EVERY other bird was grooving right along and then all of a sudden you hear "Whaaaa, whaaaa whaaaaa WHAAAAAA!" Yeah.. I WISH this bird sounded like that! I rolled over facing away from the window and closed my eyes.. I have only ever had one other nested bird outside of a bedroom window but that was in a totally different house years ago.. Like a fool, I thought that the bird was just hang out for a few.. Make his NOISES.. then go! HA! Fool indeed... After a few minutes with my fan on high and me pretending I was deaf.. I threw one.. then TWO pillows over my head. No deal.."RAAAAWK.. RAAAAWKK!" I don't even know what sound it WAS but that's as close as I can type it! Finally, I get up.. 8:07.. Nearly thirty minutes later I see what kind of mythical creature was stooped outside my window trying to make me go insane... Apparently, when the blinds opened, he or she FLEW AWAY! Are you kidding me right now? So I let out my own aggravated growl to myself as I close the blinds, turn around and fall face first back into bed.. My kids weren't even up yet so YES I would gladly try to go back to sleep for my thirty minutes or less until they wake up.. I curl up with my pillows and blanket. Then I get to that sweet spot where you're just SECONDS away from falling and then of course.. "RAAAAAWWWK!" I rolled to my back with that look on my face that must've read "S E R I O U S L Y ?" All I wanted was a power snooze.. No more than thirty MINUTES! And along comes this satanic rooster wannabe with his horrible squawks! WHY ME!!!! I throw and kick the blanket off of me and sit up with my legs hanging off the edge of the bed.. The noise strikes again! I grab the string to the blinds and yank it down sending the folded blinds up with crazy speed. (Faster than before which SHOULD have scared him away.. again..) There it was.. a crow.. at the top of the tree that sits outside my window... He didn't get startled.. Just stayed there perched.. Look around.. "RAAWK.".. Look around some more... "RAAAAWKKK".. :-/ I was tempted to run outside to find a camera crew telling me I was on Punk'd or Boiling Points or something but instead I did what any calm normal person would do.. I started pounding on the window yelling "GO AWAY!! GO THE HELL AWAY!!!!!!! I WANT TO SLEEP!!!!" FINALLY... the crazy non mechanical (Yes, I was almost convinced it could've been someone screwing with me with a remote controlled hell bird pushing my buttons...) flew away.. He didn't go far.. only to the power line maybe 20 feet away.. I stared.. Not taking my eye off of that annoying feathered freak.. A few more minutes went by I'm sure, and he took off.. I waited there.. No bird.. I took a step away from the window.. No bird.. I sat on my bed and slowly kicked my legs up still looking out the window at the tree.. Still no bird... I laid down smiling and pulled my blanket back up to me.. I rolled over and got comfy then suddenly.. Creeeeek... I turn my head to my opening door... "Mom.. why were you yelling and making so much noise?? I was trying to sleep. Will you make me pancakes?" Grrrrrrrr....... OK! I'M UP!!! And the day has been crazy ever since.. -Super Mom
No Birds for me! But now Paul needs to watch Little Mermaid! Never saw it before and is he in for a treat! You need an owl in your tree! At least a pretend one, something to scare off your alarm clock!
