Silent Alarm

Katy's alarm woke Nik up at 5:30 am today.  Nik wondered if Katy had pressed snooze and needed to be woken up.  Then, because it was 5:30, she fell back asleep.  Katy's alarm also woke me up at 5:30 am today.  I wondered if Katy had somehow gotten up without my notice.  Then, because it was 5:30, I fell back asleep.  

About an hour later, my alarm rang.  It woke me up.  I stirred and thought, "I guess she left and I didn't hear her."  Unfortunately, neither my alarm nor Katy's alarm woke Katy up.  And she had a flight to catch.  Five minutes later, Katy shot up in her bed and blurted.  "Oh sh*t!"  And that's how I ended up at the airport in my pajamas.  And how Nik and I managed to get back, change, go out for breakfast (and come up with a brilliant baking idea-- pumpkin bread with Raisinets) and return again, all by 9am.  It was a very productive morning.
