In the last five days, our smoke detector has gone off seven times. (And I don't mean 'chirping' from a low battery.) Six of those have been during sleeping hours. And none of them have been from the result of any smoke. Our alarms are apparently one of a few defective models that go off when they're not supposed to, and don't go off when they are. However, before researching it this morning, we didn't know that. Now that our children have been sufficiently traumatized, and we have been frustrated and sleep deprived, we're off to buy all new smoke detectors for our house. Sound like a fun weekend project???
Needless to say, we have not been getting a good nights sleep around here. There's nothing like flying out of bed at 2 a.m., heart pounding, with an ear-splitting alarm coming from nearly every room in the house. And it seems a little hard to focus a logical thought process about how to resolve it in the midst of the noise, and recently interrupted 'sweet dreams'. Believe me, there weren't many 'sweet dreams' last night!
So I'm adding to my wish list ....
Warmer weather
AND
Peaceful nights!
