The 9-year-old is in the kitchen arranging the toaster for his Pop-Tarts...I give him the not-so-Godly look, and he says,"What?! Did I wake you up?" The rule quickly changed after that...you get up when you hear us get up...Tina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816276921225056551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-91886507890680877282011-04-24T13:12:47.505-07:002011-04-24T13:12:47.505-07:00I am so going to use this.I am so going to use this.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372272007182679464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-20959238890029009022011-04-22T20:27:49.852-07:002011-04-22T20:27:49.852-07:00Good idea.

One timer turned on the radio for about 10 minutes of slow-waking time. Then, another timer would turn on the lamp at the bedside. About 10 mintues later the rude alarms would start going off. <br /><br />It really helped prevent those glued-to-the-ceiling-when-the-alarm-blasts-you-out-of-bed feelings. It made for much nicer mornings... and when your day had to start at 3:30 or 4:30 in the morning... nice was a priority!<br /><br />-JMrs. Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074175372366505265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-5174330749460952602011-04-19T17:30:28.097-07:002011-04-19T17:30:28.097-07:00Aha!
