Panel 1: Lila is sleeping. It's 5:58 A.M. Panel 2 and 3, a dream bubble: Lila is riding a lawn tractor, and Cole and a giant Daisy are riding in the cart behind. Lila is on a cell phone: 'Thanks for letting us come over to get showers, Dad. It's too bad it snowed. Since it's too deep for the car I'm taking your lawn tractor to work... No, Cole and Daisy are coming too, they're in the garden cart. The hamster's in the cupholder. Panel 4: the background of the dream bubble is filled with BINGLY BINGLY alarms. Lila: 'I think there is something wrong with it, though. All kinds of alarms are going off. Panel 5: The bed. Cole's leaning over Lila, while her alarm clock goes off. Cole: 'Maybe it's YOUR alarm, not the tractor.' Lila: That's ridiculous. Why would it be my-' Panel 6: same as panel 5. Lila says, 'I've been talking in my sleep again, haven't I?' Cole: 'Good morning, sunshine.' Lila: 'Well, the day can't be any worse than the night was.'

Panel 1: 5:00 A.M. Lila and Cole are lying in bed, sleeping. Lila's alarm is going off. Panel 2: Lila: You ready to get up? Cole: Absolutely not. Lila: You want me to reset the alarm for 6? Cole: Yeah. Panel 3: Lila's sitting up, setting the alarm. Lila: Why'd you set it for 5 anyway? Cole: 'cause your mom's going to call to wake us up any minute anyway. Lila: Oh yeah.... Panel 4: 5:01 A.M. Lila, lying down: I'll just lay back down for a minute then. Panel 5: 5:04 A.M. Lila's snoring again. Panel 6: the phone rings, Lila sits up with a shot. 'AAAAaaaaa! Dammit' she cries.


CONGRATULATIONS MARK JORGENSEN!
Mark won the “Name the Tiny Doggie” contest, by proposing the name “Nugget” for Marin’s miniature mutt.

Yes, I know you don’t know who Marin is yet. She’s coming…. a few more days… be patient!!

panel 1: Cole's clock says 12:16. Lila: Do you want me to set my alarm? Cole: Yeah, set it for 6:00. My alarm is set for 4:45.  You might as well sleep in. Panel 2: Lila's alarm has mutated to this button-covered machine of horror. Lila: Why does my clock have so many buttons? How do I set it? I can't set my alarm! I'm going to be late tomorrow! Help help help! From panel 3 we see Lila is dreaming panel 2 - she and Cole are both snoring - the clocks read 12:17.
