You can't make this stuff up

This morning I woke up at 9:45.  Seriously, this has not happened in real life in YEARS!  (I maybe slept that late in San Diego when Paul and I went in May, but, that's different).  Carter and Valerie were asleep... none of my alarms went off.  Let me explain...

We don't set our alarm clock except maybe for going to the airport.  We do have, however, several other alarms:

Carter, usually up by 8:30
Henri, usually up by 7:30
Valerie, usually up by 6 or 6:30
Coffee maker, goes off at 7:30
Me, up after 7 hours of sleep, automatically
Me, up when sun come in my room

none of it woke us up.  We raced to get up and the school called looking for Carter just as we went out the door.  I dropped Carter off, dropped a meal off at my friend's house, came home and did some things that needed to get done.  Then  I had a great Olive Garden lunch with my friend from elementary school, then went home to meet my neighbor to walk to pick up Carter.  Then we came home, I checked e-mail and we had some dinner.  Then I did my meal planning and we went grocery shopping.

As we ate, Carter tells me, "mom, a jail is the same as a prison, and a prison in a castle is called a dungeon." 

Then we headed for bathtime so we wouldn't be up late and sleep in again. We put Valerie in the bathtub (little baby one) while Carter was in the tub as well.  She did great!  I took her out to dry her and Carter noted, "Mom, her penis is inside out." Observant one he is!
