I woke up at 3 am and have been watching TV and playing around on the computer. I even wrote a few limericks.
The time clicks down to when the kidlets wake and begin getting ready for school. The youngest is up at 7 am and the older is up at 7:30.
At 6 am the PHONE RINGS! It is right next to me and about made me jump out of the chair! Who the heck is calling US at 6 am? WHO?
Guess what? It snowed last night. No warning on the THREE hours of news we watched last evening...I wasn't watching news this morning [they tend to repeat the same stories ad nauseum, so I watch cable until GMA comes on] but still....NO warning at all last night, that maybe it would snow? Our weather people stink, especially Doug Hill. I said it Doug - you big baby - you are an awful weather guy. AWFUL!
Since all the curtains/shades are closed at night I didn't see outside to see the snow falling. Surprise!!
The phonecall was the automated school system call "Schools will be delayed one hour...." I swear I was getting ready to curse someone out for calling so early and scaring me half to death.
Bonus tho' - the kidlets get to sleep an extra hour! :D
An automated call system...what an amazing idea! We have to check the radio or computer to know or just wait and if the bus doesn't come...no school.
ReplyDeleteI love the morning times, when things are quiet and there are no voices but the ones inside my head.
Gail I didn't know we had one...Pooldad signed up for it and it about scared the beejebus out of me.
ReplyDeleteI do like the hours between 3 am and 7 am too....Pooldad and I can have time together [when he gets up at 6:30] and I have those few hours to myself....
Then again, I am alone all day when they are in school, so I can't complain :D
I HATE it when the phone rings early in the morning. I love those mornings when I wake up early and can have a couple hours in the silent house. Hope it's not too icy!
