The night the lights went out at Profbaugh's house
Well this morning started out with a bang at our house. You see our power must have gone off some time in the wee hours of the morning. I was up very, very late--working. So imagine my surprise this morning when my daughter walked in to my bedroom about 8:55 and said, "Don't you have classes this morning?"
Talk about a shock. I think I literally bolted out of bed. You see I do have morning classes. My first one starts at 9:00 am. I ran to the phone, called the university and had them break the news to my 9:00 am class, that I would not be there. I'm sure they were heart broken. Okay, folks you need to let me have at least this one illusion this morning.
I quickly went into overdrive at home, got dressed, make-up on, hair moused and headed out of the house.
I made it to campus with 5 minutes to spare for my 10:00 am classes. I'm sure my students were happy to see me (again, just give it to me this morning).
So where does this leave me? Resolved that I must buy a battery operated alarm clock!
Much love,
~Cheryl

OH girl! I so glad you made it!
Awwww!
This happens enough that I have now converted to cell phone alarm only...unless I've changed time zones or something, it usually works well.
have a better week Cheryl
I was totally going to say use your cell phone as a back up...but I see gratefulinga already beat me to it! I must say...it is the only alarm I use too! Hope my 8am prof is running late tomorrow...my first essay is due and I don't want to part with it yet! I think it is ready...but I'm not sure!
That is hysterical! I can just see you flying around and "mousing" your hair---I laughed so hard as the professor misspoke...but why I came by was to tell you that the professor I met at LPL has a permanent place in my heart. I loved you Cheryl! Being in your presence, looking into your face which you have never seen, was moving for me and I am so glad you are my friend! And yes, you are brilliant even though the prof spelled one word wrong on your entire blog! You have such a great sense of humor and I hope you hear me laughing over here at your frenzied morning! You made your 1st period students so happy!
So glad you made it! Poor Cheryl! That is the worst feeling ever! It's happend to me way too many times:) You're a sweetheart Cheryl! I'm so glad I had the chance to meet you in SA! Thanks for your kind words on my blog!!
Blessings!
