Now when it goes off, I climb over him and turn it off. He falls asleep and is late and I tell him tough shit. That happened once or twice and that was then end of his love affair with the snooze button.

However, the problem here is that Jon works AT HOME, and our daughter gets up early EVERY DAY. The other problem is, that when he used to set the alarm for 5:30, that was totally stupid.karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-73051604150256827542011-10-02T10:06:17.659-04:002011-10-02T10:06:17.659-04:00I wonder if that would work, Laoch...I wonder if that would work, Laoch...karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-57244181967738773132011-10-02T10:05:55.280-04:002011-10-02T10:05:55.280-04:00Matt, let's be honest: I wouldn't even be...Matt, let's be honest: I wouldn't even be energetic.
