It's 4:00 in the morning.
An alarm sounds...
But it's not coming from my clock.
It's coming from the smoke detectors.
Wahhhh....Wahhhh...Wahhhh....
The dogs fly under the bed.
My husband and I throw back the covers
Struggling incomprehensibly to figure out what is going on.
{We seem to be walking in circles...}
My teenagers children wander out of their room,
Annoyed
That the smoke detectors are going off....again.
We had this problem two weeks ago --
The alarm would go off ... just because. {no fire}
Always at night
{Why is that???}
A good dusting and new batteries later
We assumed the problem was fixed.
It wasn't.
So this morning, the smoke detector was also my alarm clock.
Such a rude awakening.
A rude awakening, indeed. But THANKFULLY you are okay!
ReplyDeleteFrom spring awakenings to rude awakenings...geesh! Seems like a crazy alarm clock, but happy it was just a battery issue. Here's hoping tomorrow you hear bird chirping ;)
ReplyDeleteUgh...those few more hours are so important after we've been thrust into springing ahead! Glad you are all safe.
