Thwarting Sleep

Sometimes I wonder if the universe conspires against me in my quest to be well-rested.  I know what you are thinking:  you chose to have four kids and animals...it is my own fault if I don't get the sleep I need.

Well no, it isn't my fault.  Because sometimes, it isn't the kids or the animals, or the husband who wake me up mid-slumber.  Case in point, my experience today.  At the lovely hour of 5:39 am, the carbon monoxide detector chose to tell me, rather loudly I might add, that the batteries needed to be changed.  And because I did not want to have the entire house up at that hour, I took one for the team, and headed downstairs.  Thus, here I sit.

I guess what I need to do is turn the experience around, and thank that detector for helping me find the time to write on the blog.
