My day started at around 2 in the morning. I woke up because there was 18 pounds of cat lying on my feet. Gentle nudging did not clue him in to my wanting him gone so I had to pick him up and show him the way off the bed. So now that I was awake, it seems I’m eagle ears tuned into every little sound, despite the earplugs I have in. I wear earplugs because my husband snores loudly. I suppose so do I but you can’t prove it by me. So now I’m lying wide-awake trying to not hear the snoring, wondering if I can double up the earplugs without damaging my ears or maybe I should just drag a blanket out to the living room and sleep on the lounge chair. By now the cat has figured I’m asleep so he’s back on the bed but I’m not so nice this time. I slap my feet up and down on the bed and he skedaddled out of the room. My husband sits up and, “Huh? What was that?” I tell him he’s snoring and choking so he needs to roll over. He does so with a grumble, at least with my earplugs it was only a grumble, and he goes right back to sleep. I lay there staring at the ceiling because my eyes will not stay shut. I think I finally dozed off but again the cat and again my feet and this time the husband gets up coughing and goes to get some water. I didn’t want to know what time it was. I convince myself that meditating will do the trick and it does. Before I know it, the alarm is buzzing. Of course I don’t want to get up but after the fourth snooze it’s getting really late. So late that we are now rushing and I now have to drive my son to the bus stop because he hasn’t enough time to do the walk. I’m hurrying through the house with my keys and purse in hand and suddenly I hear the car alarm blaring. Damn! I triggered the panic alarm because of how I was carrying my keys, I’d pressed the remote button and damn damn damn HOW DO I TURN THIS DAMN THING OFF? WE HAVE TO GO NOW OR YOU’LL MISS YOUR BUS! LET’S GO!! Husband says to go and he’ll turn the alarm off. My son tries to calm me down but I’m too stubborn and tired. He sits in silence, I get him to the stop, he gets out, I tell him to have a good day, he says sure okay and closes the door. I drive off. God I hate when that happens! I get back to the house, the alarm is off, seems you just have to put the key into the ignition to turn it off. STUPID CAR ALARM!!
