Alarm Bells Ringing

I haven't needed an alarm clock for a very long time.  The moment that cellular phones came equipped with an alarm option, I began using it.  I think that today many people do this already.  They use their cellular phones in place of the good old alarm clocks.  If this is the case then, are alarm clocks already obsolete, I wonder?

Most times I can wake up before the alarm rings and this is only because I love to put it off before it breaks the silence of the morning.  When I am tired, then the alarm wakes me up but usually it is a nice piece of music that does the job.

When I was still working, it was "Finally by Fergie" that started my day.  I loved how it started with "Ever since I was a baby girl, I had a dream...".  Give it a listen here.

Ever since I was a baby girl I had a dream

Cinderella theme

Crazy as it seems

Always knew that deep inside

that there would come that day

But I would have to wait

Make so many mistakes

I couldn't comprehend 

As I watched it unfold

This classic story told I left it in the cold

Walking through unopen doors that led me back to you

Each one unlocking more of the truth

I finally stopped tripping on my youth

I finally got lost inside of you

I finally know I needed to grow

And finally my mate has met my soul

[chorus]

Finally

Now my destiny can begin

Though we will have our differences

Something strange and new is happening

Finally 

Now my life doesn't seem so bad

It's the best that I've ever had

Give my love to him finally

MMMMMMMM

I remember the beginning you already knew 

I acted like a fool

Just trying to be cool

Fronting like it didn't matter

I just ran away

Put on another face

Was lost in my own space

Found what it's like to hurt selfishly

I was scared to give up me

Afraid to just believe

I was in a jealous, insecure, pathetic place

Stumbled through the mess that I have made

I Finally got out of my own way

I Finally started living for today

I finally know I needed to grow

And finally my mate has met my soul

[chorus]

Finally 

Now my destiny can begin 

Though we will have our differences

Something strange and new is happening

Finally

Now my life doesn't seem so bad

It's the best that I've ever had

Give my love to him finally

MMMMMMMM

Finally, Finally yea...

Finally 

Now my destiny can begin 

Though we will have our differences

Something beautiful is happening,is happening

Finally

Now my life doesn't seem so bad

It's the best that I've ever had

Give my love to him finally

Ohhhhhhhh!!

Finally, Finally...Finally....

Gone are the days when the jarring sounds emanate from a tiny thing that some people put across the room so that they have to literally get out of bed to shut off.

I don't have that problem.  I can wake up no matter how little sleep I've had the night before.  In fact, I can sleep at 4 am and then wake up at 6 am and I'd be good to go for several hours.  

I used to think that young people would make better candidates at managing with less sleep but I am now convinced that MOTHERS are the ones that win in this category.  They are the ones that have it in them to continue even when they are tired.  There is a hidden gene inside them that is activated once the baby is born.  

For years, I longed for the day when I would never have to set an alarm again and now it's here.  It is as wonderful as I thought it would be.  Finally!
