Alarm Clock

Well, how can I start this. Thursday, I was so happy because my husband had woken up before his alarm went off, and decided to get out of bed. Usually, he stays in bed and ends up falling asleep again. Therefore, I get woken up at about 0530 by his stupid alarm clock. The problem is not necessarily with the alarm clock, but mainly with the fact that he lets it beep for about two to three minutes before snoozing it. Now, I want you to pay close attention to the word snoozing, because he does not turn the alarm clock off until about 0600. Even then, I still would not have a problem with him snoozing his alarm clock for a half hour. What really aggravates me, is that he also sets his cell phone's alarm clock to go off five minutes after his regular alarm clock goes off. So, think about it... around 0530 his regular alarm clock goes off. Then, he snoozes it right at about 0532 or 0533. Last but not least, his cell phone's alarm clock goes off at 0535. So, repeat this process over and over, until 0600. I believe, this is enough to make a normal person go insane.

However, this is not my only issue with his alarm clocks. Not only do I have to hear one after the other, but I also have to put up with their annoying sounds. His regular alarm clock, starts off loud and has a regular steady beep. The more he lets it beep, the faster and louder it gets. Then, his lovely cell phone alarm is so loud, that it could make you have a heart attack, if you weren't expecting it. Needless to say, I have to deal with this everyday of the week, except for the weekends. The weekends are nicer because I do not have to put up with the alarm clock situation. However, my husband still wakes up early. Even though he tells me to keep on sleeping, I can not seem to be able to do so. Who could possibly sleep with someone roaming the house or watching a movie in the living room with the surround sound on? Not me.

I guess he has gotten a little better about the alarm clock issue. Back when we were dating, he used to have three different alarm clocks, set to different times. So, he would have his regular alarm clock that would slowly get faster and louder. Then, his cell phone which at the time was set to the "Low Rider" song. He also had his stereo set very loud to play "Master of the Puppets" by Metallica. I must say after all of that, it was hard for me to fall back asleep.
