New Pup & Staying Up Late Don't Mix

Dang @#$%#%!@&* frkn dog! Ok, so I drank just a little too much wine last night. And, stayed up until the wee hours of the morning playing computer games....
Trying to sleep late w/a new pup is impossible!! DH put Piper on the bed w/me like he does every morning. She was frisky and wanted to play, so I put her back in her kennel. She whined a little, so I ignored it and went back to sleep. Every now and them I heard her again.
At about 7:00a.m. (when we usually get up) she was bucking like a bronco trying to get out! So I figured she needed to go pottie. So, now we're both up.
I'm thinking.... no walk today! Groan.....

I fill her food & water bowl, then sit to watch morning news shows until I wake up. She comes up to my (upholstered) recliner, and starts jumping on it trying to get to me and raking her long sharp nails on the chair! AAGGGHHH!!!!!!! Don't tear up my new chairs!!
So, I put the recliner down and now she's jumping on my legs. I push her away and say no. Now, she thinks I'm playing with her so she won't stop! I've got scratches on my legs and my arms that are stinging!

I've already taken her out twice, hoping she would use up her energy outside. Didn't last. Even though she has perfectly good food inside, she insists on eating my plants. :(

Now we are inside and she's playing with her toys. UhOh... where did she go?? I start searching the house cuz she's not potty trained yet. I start out at a run... and she is lying on the kitchen floor (right behind my chair) looking at me like "what?" She does this a few times in various spots. After running around (didn't realize our house was so big!); It takes me a few minutes to locate her, and she is very close by.... under the table, next to my chair! Whew!

Then, at some point, she comes and sits in front of me, staring at me with those big brown puppy eyes, and all calm... and my heart melts. That is..... until she starts all over again!
