This would never happen to Mr. W, as he sets two alarms every night, one battery operated, one electrical. Me? I rely on my little battery-operated alarm clock that I've been using for years, and the kids rely on...me.It has happened that once in a great while my handy-dandy clock doesn't go off. Usually because of operator error--I didn't set it right, or set it for PM instead of AM. Luckily, I have an internal alarm clock that blares when the kids are in danger of being late for school. No crises...yet.
Do any of you get the Signals catalog? They have a lot of fun, knick-knack, kitschy type items. One of them is a fancy alarm clock that sounds like a butler. There are many different settings, including, "I’m so sorry to disturb you but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient, I agree . . . I believe it is the rotation of the earth that is to blame."
LOL. Not sure I could get used to a voice waking me up, but it could be fun.
How do you wake up? Blaring alarm? Clock radio?
I wake up to one or both of my dogs crying, shortly after that my alarm goes off. I usually hit the snooze button at least once & then get up. I've been turning the TV on to get some light & sound in my room then get going with the day!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the butler quote.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby got a new alarm clock a few months ago that uses nature sounds. He chose 'waves on the shore'. Since I usually wake up needing an immediate trip to the bathroom, the sound of rushing water first thing in the morning is NOT helpful.
I wake up with a clock radio, but most of the time my cat, Little One, wakes me first. She has a set schedule of when she wants feed. The butler clock would take a bit of getting use to but sounds neat.

Thoughts in Progress
I wake up with my DH kissing goodbye when he goes to work<3 Puts a smile on my face and starts my day off right!
ReplyDeleteBreaunna, you're better than me--I hit the snooze three times every morning. It would probably be more than three, except my clock stops at three snoozes. Probably a good thing.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Linda! LOL!
MC, pets have a way of making their needs known, huh? :)
That's sweet, T! Half the time I'm out cold when Mr. W kisses me goodbye!
aawww Tonya...that's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wake up. I just get up and I'm raring to go, except if I'm sick. I still get though. I do set my clock radio 15 minutes before I need, but I always wake up before and turns itself on.
I have three alarms set on my cell phone (usually 5, 515, and 530). If I really REALLY need to be up at a certain time, I set a regular alarm clock and put it across the room so I have to get out of bed.
ReplyDeleteI usually always just wake up a few minutes before the alarm would go off. So I usually never have to hear my alarm, which is just a clock radio on my night stand. When it does go off, it always startles me awake. And even though the butler idea is cute, I think the voice waking me up would freak me out.
ReplyDeleteI actually have that talking clock. The voice is Stephen Fry and it's a hoot!
ReplyDeleteMy husband got it for me for my birthday in 2009. It took FOREVER for it to come from the UK.
