Okay, this is freaky. It's WHAT time?
Um.
I'm up at 5 am.
But wait, there's more.
My alarm went off at 6:40. I snoozed it. But while it was snoozing, I lay there thinking that I didn't have any cinnamon rolls for our traditional Sunday Breakfast. And I really should have breakfast cooking at 7, if I'm going to wake and feed everyone on time for church.
So I hopped out of bed and crept to the kitchen and made some peanut butter muffins.
Popped them in the oven just a few moments ago, to bake while I shower. Right at 7 on the nose.
On my way from the kitchen to the shower, I walked past a clock with a dead battery. It said 5. Except the second hand was still moving.
Weird, I said.
And looked at Lunar's clock by his computer. 5. Uncanny.
So I woke up my computer. If I'm awake, it should be, too, right? Guess what time it thinks it is? Yes, 5 am. That's a little too much coincidence.
So all the clocks in the house - except possibly my bedroom one - think it's only 5.
Which means I got up at 4:40.
I guess.
The clock couldn't have said 4:60, so ... what did I see that made me think it was 6:40? And why did I think my alarm had gone off. Did it? What is it set for? Would I wake the Grand Lunar if I snuck back in just to read the clock?
Now I can't go back to bed because there are muffins cooking. Muffins that will be warm and toasty at 5:30 and cold and sad when the children wake up.
I guess I could go ahead and shower. But if I do that and then go back to bed for an hour, my hair will dry goofy. Trust me on that.
So I'm kind of at a loss for what to do. If I had noticed 3 minutes earlier, I could've just let the muffin batter sit until time to bake it. But no, I didn't notice earlier.
So.
I guess I'll shower, and quietly clean, and try not to fall asleep during the sermon, since I can't overcaffeinate myself today. If I clean now, I could nap later, before our Bible Study.
Freaky.

Claim it girl! It's not a mistake! In the words of Peewee Herman..."I meant to do that!".....

The children are wondering what I am laughing at while I read your blog. Hope you got lots done in all of your extra time!! My morning fog hasn't ever woken me up THAT early but I have gotten up and have tried for several minutes to remember what day it was and whether or not it was Sunday or Saturday.
Posted by: karen at January 8, 2007 1:53 PMI had a Saturday morning that I did not have to work, I didn't have any reason to get up early--NO PLANS! What happens??? I wake up in a panic at 7:30 thinking I have overslept. I'm rushing around the room while my husband is laughing until the tears run. Eventually, he gets enough air to tell me that I don't have to work. I climbed back in bed (after swatting him with a pillow) and promptly went back to sleep for another 1 1/2 hours. ; )
