So, it's 1:02 a.m. this morning, and the stinkin' fire alarm goes off...AGAIN!!! I, of course, am the one who gets up while EVERY other person in the house is fast asleep.
I start hitting Ryan in the back and freaking out. As I am hitting Ryan in the back, he says, "enough, Aim," and starts hitting the alarm clock. (Apparently he thought it was the alarm clock) :)
We realize once again that it's probably just the battery going dead and get back to sleep.
So, the first thing on my list this weekend is to go ahead and get a new battery for that thing. I think being woken out of a sound sleep like that 2 times is enough! :)

O.K., so maybe I over-reacted....
Last night was quite a night, to say the least. I actually went to bed around 9:30, which is super early for me, but I had been canning food all day and was just beat.
Around 11:30, Brett came into our room because he was scared, and as he walked into our room he banged into the trunk that is in front of our bed, making a pretty loud noise and scared me out of a sound sleep. Ryan happened to wake up because of the commotion as well.
A little background :
For those of you who don't know me well, I get scared - VERY EASILY!!! It's a downfall of mine, but I just can't help it. My girlfriends get a kick out of scaring me, and it drives me nuts! (Yeah, I'm talking to you Susan and Faith!!!:) )
Anyway, so Brett was scared last night, which ended up scaring me and then waking Ryan up - not a good scene. I comforted Brett - he laid with us for a bit. Put him back to his bed and then went back to sleep.
Fast forward to around 2:48am...
The fire alarm goes off for just a couple seconds. Of course, I jump up out of bed, except this time I yell "FIRE!! FIRE!!! Ryan! The fire alarm just went off! Ryan! Ryan!!" (I'm actually quite surprised that none of the kids woke up.)
A little background:
For those of you who don't know Ryan very well - it is hard to wake him up - VERY HARD! And he's also a very calm guy - doesn't get scared very easily. Complete opposite of me.
Back to the story, he casually rolls out of bed and stands at the top of the stairs and says "It's fine, Aim."
"It's fine" was just not good enough for me to just be able to get back into bed and fall back to sleep. I made Ryan go downstairs and check for smoke!?!?!? Realistically, I think if the fire alarm was going off because there was smoke in the house, we would've been able to smell it at the top of the stairs.
Down the stairs he went to check everything out - he's good like that! :) Of course, things checked out fine and back to sleep we went. Not before having a good laugh about the events that just transpired. I ended up with a little case of the giggles, which is always fun at 3 o'clock in the morning! :D
At around 3:30 Chloe tip-toed into our room and tapped me on my shoulder. I, of course, was in a sound sleep and did a quick scream, until I realized that it was Chloe. Chloe said, "Mom, it's fine! It's just me!" I couldn't help but immediately start to laugh and giggle. It was all just too much for one night!
So, maybe I overacted, but it sure makes for a good story! :)
