Tuesday's Tidbits

You fall into bed, fall asleep easily believing you're going to get a good night's sleep and sometime during the night, a dreadful beeping goes off. At first you believe it's all in a dream. You're still sleep hazy and unsure of what you've actually heard. The annoying beep is sporadic, so you lay there in your bed hoping NOT to hear the sound again. Hoping it was truly in your dreams. Nope. The beep rings in your ear this time and you glance over at your husband, sound asleep, and realize that he has to get up in less than two hours to get ready for work. BEEP! This time you pray the sound hasn't reached your other half's ears and you have no choice, but to toss the covers and get out of your warm bed. You fumble in the dark, grab the offending beeper and off you go on a search for the battery charger. At last, you make your find, untangle the wires and plug the thing in. Your CELL PHONE is happy now. The darn thing gets hungry at the most inconvenient times. You climb back into bed and try to sleep, thinking that you've already raised two children, the days of midnight pleas should have ended by now. But, no. There's a whole new generation of electronics out there, just waiting to disturb your peace.
And tomorrow night, if the smoke alarm doesn't go off, the Road Runner doesn't sing with malfunction and the answering machine doesn't start chanting messages, than maybe, you'll get a full night's sleep!
