 ~  I Was Awoken By An Obnoxious Bird Chirping This Morning ~

 

I Was awoken by an obnoxious bird chirping this morning.... or so I thought.  The chirping was terribly obnoxious but it was a bird.  Every ten minutes or so I would here this extremely high pitched chirp and it was constant.  So when I couldn't take it any more, I got up to find the source that was ruining my sleep.  And it figures, today when I could have gotten an extra hour of sleep due to the time change, but nooooo!

It didn't take long to find the culprit.  And I should have remembered to do this.  It was the battery in my smoke detector.  So I pulled out my ladder (for the high ceilings) and spent the morning changing out all the batteries in my smoke detectors.  Thank goodness I had exactly the right number of batteries that I needed.

Changing out the smoke dectector batteries is one of those things that should be done

Good reminder for us all.  I hate it when those things start going off.

Ahhh Dawn....   Hmmm, what a fitting name as it pertains to this blog. 

Your story reminds me of when I was young man and my sister's roommate had me come over because they kept hearing this barking and thought a small dog was in the basement. 

As I walked the steps down I heard the familiar chirp of the smoke alarm and acreamed...."OH My GOD...Get Out...it is a Wolf Spider" and ran for the door with my sister and her roomate right on my heals...screaming their heads off...I was laughing so hard outside that I fell down and they started kicking me in the shins and yelling obscenities at me. (Think great big guy...laughing hysterically...while two young adult women try in vain to get some payback.)

I had to stop writing this to dry my eyes...I think I will stop typing and call my sister and see if she has any wolf spiders in the house they just moved into.....

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!!

PS...Sorry you lost out on the hour of sleep...my wife says this is her favorite Sunday of the year because of the extra sleep!!

Timely, because they say when your change your clocks back an hour in the fall that's the time to change the batteries in the smoke alarms.   Sorry you had to deal with it how it happened though.

Dawn, we ALWAYS change out our smoke detectors when you 48 other states do that annoying thing of changing your clocks.  But, it's an easy way to remember.
