Day 9: Do Something Before Breakfast

I was on the phone with Betty late last night, just about to start my homework (I had been babysitting, but it really is a routine thing for me to stay up past midnight every night.. unfortunately) when she says "Well I should really let you go, especially since you have to get up before the sun rises for our task" and I was so confused, I had only glanced at it and I didnt know what she was talking about. So I got the book and it turned out that I did have to get up early. Not as early as Betty thought, but early enough to do something productive before breakfast.
I get up at about 7:02, and that's pushing it as far as I'm concerned because I'm not a morning person. Getting out of bed is very difficult for me (and lots of other people, I'm sure). So to say the least I was dreading this task.
I decided I wasnt going to get up suppppper early because I have school and that's not practical. But I didnt wnat to do something dumb like do my homework in the morning because that's not the idea of the task. And I couldnt really leave my house because my sister and I ride to school together and she would NOT be up for leaving any earlier than we usually do. So I figured I would get up early and make my mom breakfast.
My mom gets up at the same time as my sister and I so that she can make us breakfast and pack my lunch. Even if we have cereal or something, she always gets up to see us off to school. It's really sweet, actually.
So I got up at 6 (yuck!!) and got dressed and went downstairs and made her a big omelet, sausage, and toast. Then I brought it up to her room, but she wanted to eat it downstairs, so I put it back downstairs. She wasnt as excited as I thought she'd be... I really thought she would be ecstatic, but instead she was like "Could you just not sleep last night? Is that why you got up so early?" and I told her I just wanted to and I think she just thought I was weird. So that was that. I finished getting ready, ate my own breakfast, and went to school. Now I have to do homework and go to tennis practice and I'm feeling tired just thinking about it.
Let's just say I wont be getting up at six again any time soon.

Awww...she wasn't excited at all? That's really weird. Did she even say thank you or anything? I really thought she would be ecstatic too. Sorry that didn't go as well as planned. :/ (Oh yeah, and I got the pics from my cell phone onto the computer by sending them to my email address from my phone.)
