If you know me via my blogs you'll recall my ongoing struggle with alarm clocks, well maybe I'd better rephrase that. It is more like my struggle with getting out of the bed in the morning.
I have not always had this affliction, I guess it started when the bed became my own. Sure I could spread out, sure I could wear socks to bed IF I WANTED! But I no longer had a hand to push me out of bed in the mornings, and neither did I have an annoyed voice tell me to turn my alarm off and "GET OUT OF BED".
So began my struggle with alarm clocks, err hum, getting out of bed in the mornings.
I tried everything, in fact eventually the only combination that worked for me was around 6 alarms clocks, that being my regular bedside table alarm clock, three alarms set up on my mobile phone, every five minutes, the alarm set on an old mobile phone that is in the bottom drawer and then the most drastic of measures the alarm clock set on the clock in my ensuite - which of course forced me to get out of bed to turn it off.
It does still amaze me that I can turn alarm clocks off in my sleep, wake with a start a good hour after I was MEANT to get up and wonder why I didn't hear my alarms!
Fast forward to today, Miss 9 has dance rehearsals for her upcoming concert. I've set my alarm for 8am, we have to leave by 8:30am ... it's the week-end, no panic to get anywhere .. So I am playing dangerously and only relying on the one alarm.
Well it wakes me up, and I hit snooze - OF COURSE. Then I glance upward where my bedside clock reflects the time ... it's only 7am! At first I ignore it, but as my phone alarm keeps going off I realise that something isn't right. But you know when you wake up and you're a little dazed so your mind kinda accepts what just doesn't make sense?
That was me, I'm thinking ok 7am .. 8 am .. well my alarm is good, I'd best get up. Finally I decide to check other clocks in the house .. all say 7am!!! Seems that my mobile phone has decided that it needs to jump backwards for daylight savings which happened ?earlier? this year? DOAHHHH
So here I am it's now 7:30am, I'm awake because my alarm clock I guess you could say finally got it's revenge. Good for my blog, because it's given me a spare minute to do one, not good for my sleep, which I really love so much! haha.
Have a great week-end everybody
