I may try just going and jumping on the bed. . . especially since I should already be in bed but have to be an alarm clock!

Wonder if I will get whacked with something!?!?! I’ll vibrate that bed really good! Indoor trampoline!

The bad news? It goes off at 3:30 am.

Further bad news? The dog wakes up the moment the alarm clock even THINKS about emitting a sound wave and trods all over both of our heads demanding breakfast. Thus making it relatively impossible, if you value your future eyesight, to sleep through the alarm.

My boyfriend considers me a late riser because I usually get up around 6 or 7. I will often go back to sleep if there’s nowhere I have to be, which he considers the epitome of laziness. Whenever I say, “It’s been a long day, I’ve been up since 5:30″ he looks at me like I just declared I slept until noon and goes “I’ve been up since THREE THIRTY.” I point out that I am generally a lot less cranky than he is, which makes him cranky because I’m right.

They also make alarm clocks that run away from you, so you have to catch them to turn them off. This only works, of course, if one wakes up when the sound goes off.

Oh, but unlike my husband, I take FULL responsibility for my tardiness (and my children’s tardiness).

Um, just out of curiosity, is your son ever late to school because of your late rising? Probably not. I will cruise your blog to see if there might be a post on that topic:)
