Heavy Sleepers

Tuesday morning started out like any other morning. I was up around 4:30a getting ready for work. An hour later, I'm ready to leave the house. Usually Carter gets up to go outside, but he was still asleep. I was happy that I had saved 2 minutes and could just leave for work. (Yes, 2 minutes does add up when it's extra time).

I walked over to the front door and realized it was unlocked. I was annoyed with Ivan instantly, Danny had come over the night before for the Jazz game and left at 10p and obviously Ivan didn't bother to lock the door. So my mind is racing with being annoyed with Ivan and all of the things I needed to get done at work that day.

I open the door - the ALARM we installed two months ago starts blaring and going off. Crap! My first reaction was to hurry and close the front door. Duh, that didn't make it stop. So, I run over to deactivate the alarm and it says "communication canceled". Whew, I don't have to deal with the alarm company or police department at 5:30 in the morning.

At this point, I'm stressing that I've woken everyone up so early in the morning. I quickly walk back to our bedroom, flick on the light and say "I'm so sorry" expecting Ivan to be up and annoyed with me. Nope, he's dead asleep. He doesn't even move when I turn the bedroom light on. Ok, whatever. I walk back to the kitchen to listen to see if Emery woke up. Nope, she's still dead asleep too.

Moral of the story:

1. Turn off the alarm before opening the door
2. Be aware that my husband and daughter will sleep through anything and I'm on my own if there really is an emergency and the home alarm goes off
