What is so difficult to understand about that sentence?

We tell everyone the same thing. Very few people take it to heart or understand that we really do mean it.

With as busy as the dogs and The Curmudgeon keep me jumping all day, I barely get enough rest until long after they all settle down for the night.

I seldom fall asleep before four a.m.

Therefore, it is no wonder I am cranky, bitchy, and mean as hell when the phone rings before I’ve had a decent number of hours sleep and coffee by the gallon.
