This morning my alarm clock went off as usual. I hit doze and when it went off again I did the whole groaning and complaining as I shuffled off to the shower. I was pretty tired, but I figured it was because we all went out last night and it was kinda late when I got to bed.
I did the usual things (dress, grab purse and keys,etc) and stopped to open the blinds in the living room. I don't usually do this since no one is at home during the day, but with the kids home I thought some sunlight wouldn't kill them. It was really dark outside which I thought was weird and I didn't make the connection but traffic was pretty light outside.
I went to give Bill a kiss goodbye when he asked me what time it was. I told him it was 7:30 like usual. Then he tells me "oh yeah, the clock is off by an hour".
WHAT?!!!
That man is soooooo lucky I don't have coffee until I get to work. If I had been properly awake he's be wearing my foot up his ass.
I asked him why he hadn't mentioned this to me last night and he said he forgot. I never look at the clock when I go to bed. I usually just dive under the covers and enjoy the extra space for an hour or two before Bill joins me and we start the nightly fight over covers and space.
Well, I'm no dummy. I stripped down to my skivvies and jumped right into bed for my missed hour of sleep. I was just dozing off when the neighbor decided to fire up his electric guitar. Our neighbor has NEVER done that before! Especially at 6:30 ish in the morning. Luckily the joining wall was just a leg length from the bed. I gave the mandatory thumps to the wall and they piped down after a couple of minutes.
I look like hell today. I have serious bed head, I'm well into my 3rd cup of coffee and the bags under my eyes could hold a weeks worth of groceries. I feel fine though, and despite the fact that I had a horrible sleeping accident. I'm not sure if it's the delirium of sleep deprivation or the caffeine speaking, but today's looking good.
