Not So Funny Saturday Morning

Anyone who is anyone in my circle of friends know that I have a serious sleep/wake problem. I never fall asleep before 1AM and waking up in time to get my kids on the bus requires 3 alarms, and 2 great above and beyond friends to call me back to back to back and not only get me to answer the phone but also to hold a stimulating conversation so I actually wake up and get out of bed. Then another couple of calls after that to make sure I didn't get back in bed. Yes, I have tried medication but I'm not thrilled about mind altering substances other than coffee, wine and vodka.

Saturday is the one day I never have to worry about getting up...until this morning. 

DD2 and I fell asleep watching 'Kung Fu Panda'...again for the 3000th time. Sleep felt so good. I currently don't recall an actual dream and my sleep app shows that I only had 3 hours of R.E.M sleep ( the app is called Sleep Time, $1.99 in the App Store). 

Why am I awake?

This morning the Boy1 comes running in my room at 6:50 AM in tears, remember he's my academic child...

Boy1: Mom we missed the bus and now you have to drive us!

Me: What are you talking about?

Boy1: Mom, get up? We are going to be late for school!

I sit up rubbing my eyes. You know that feeling when you didn't get your usual amount of sleep and your eyes are dry and won't lubricate? I had that going on. 

Boy1: Mom... I have four test today get up!

Me: Boy1 calm down. It's okay I will drive you, now go wake DD1 and get dressed. 

Boy1 leaves and comes back laughing hysterically. 

Me: What? What? Why are you laughing?

Boy1: Mom, I just looked at my computer  and I'm an idiot. 

Me: You're not an idiot. Did you forget to save or print your work?

Boy1: No, apparently it is Saturday. Sorry for waking you lol.

I plop back down and lay still for another hour before realizing the magic won't happen and I won't drift back to sleep. Where is my favorite coffee cup?
