I have failed my saving throw against groggy sticks *thwack*

I was undoubtedly up too late, which would have been fine had I not been utterly paranoid about sleeping through the alarm. There needs to be a word for that: the type of paranoia you get from not wanting to sleep through alarms, which causes you to not sleep.
(To be fair, I also had new character wandering around in my head, which would have been fine had I not been trying to get to sleep ... Of course, now he's asleep and I have to try and remember all that stuff from last night. Sheesh.)
But I did have a fabulous time chatting with kay_willow.

Look! It's a terrorist! In a glass!
Don't you hate those people that pay with all change? Although to be fair, his reasoning was very amusing.
(I could see my husband doing something like that. My husband also reminds me a little too much of Stewie off of Family Guy - minus the diapers. HE is still asleep, but he did stay up later than I did calling Germany. Curses, Pacific Time Zone. It makes talking with Central European businesses very difficult.)
This woman is obviously a geek. No one that was not a geek would ever think of doing this.

So I have an hour and ten minutes to drag Sean out of bed, feed/water/change him and drag his toddler beeehind out to the bus stop.
SuperMommy ... awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! *takes off in flourish*

I so understand that paranoia about sleeping through the alarm. I very rarely awake to the alarm as I'm up several hours before then. I hate that. Waking up checking the clock...grrrr

ooh, do tell of this new character.

or wake up ten minutes before said alarm goes off (either because you're afraid of oversleeping, or to keep neighbors from yelling at you for waking them up). yes. yes, there does. *glares at self**self remains unaffected*

stewie's my favorite Family Guy character. kickass. ^_^

I'm an extremely frequent exact-change payer. :)

Groggy sticks! I promise I won't usually keep you up that late, and I probably wouldn't normally IM you that late either. ^^ I figured, if you're posting and I'm posting and I'm bored and we're both awake, why not?

If your husband is like Stewie that's got to be fun. It's certainly better than your son being like Stewie -- he has some fairly homicidal mommy issues. XD

I totally get this. It's my most frequent form of insomnia. Or well, sort of. I'm not afraid of sleeping through the alarm, as that never really happens with me. But if I have to be up earlier than usual, I am almost guaranteed to be up later than I should be. I get tense and anxious and worried and paranoid and ... and and and and. I don't know why. It bugs me. I'm not sure if it's comforting to know you go through something similar or if you just have my sympathy for it. I think the latter.

I only set an alarm if I need to be sure that I wake up before it goes off. If I set an alarm, I will wake up before it goes off. Depending on why the alarm is set, I'll wake up many times before it goes off, checking the clock. I used to never sleep the first night I was in a different bed (unless it was coming home). Being a mother has solved that one a little bit.
