i love lucy alarm clocks

As I look back, I’m not sure how it was even possible. When I think of my sister getting up in the mornings, it reminds me of a scene from one of my daughter’s favorite movies. It’s one of those shows with an over achieving mom and an angry adolescent daughter who is going through the process that we all go through…..you know the one, I know what’s best for me and everything in the world should go according to my plans. Getting the daughter out of bed every morning was like raising the deceased. The mom would use every ounce of strength she could muster, grab her daughter by the ankles and pull her entire body up from the bed.

We have the sister clock to that one--the Teach Me Time clock--and it has been working for us since our twin boys moved into toddler beds at 18 months old. They are now almost three years old and when they run into our bedroom at 6:40 am, they are...

Hopefully Kermit's owner has moved that alarm clock so he can make it to work on time. And our top misbehaving animal of the week? That title goes to a dog named Lucy. Why? Because she was caught stealing chicken nuggets in a very interesting way.

What a great alarm clock and news to wake up to this morning ... I think it was like, 'Either way, mom, I still love you.' But then it was funny because I saw it. I saw my picture, and I heard them announce it, but I had to ask him, 'Did I really ...

I confess to setting the alarm clock to 5am to get up and start writing pre breakfast ... Yes they are going to bed later, but getting up earlier provides a solution. And I’m doing what I love and for that ― and my family ― I count my blessings.
