My rude awakening

Weekends are for me to sleep in!

And I usually stay up super late on the weekends which means to even get 8 hours of sleep I do not wake up until 10:00 or later.

On the other hand my husband is an early to bed, early to rise sort of guy. He plans to do things at 6 am on a weekend... Personally I didn't even know that time existed on weekend other then if I was going to bed at that time.

Friday night I had friends over until about 1 a.m. so I didn't even get to bed until 2 a.m. He had planned on going hiking with his boss, so he gets up at 5:30 am. Everything was fine and dandy until I wake up to the most god-awful sound! I swear he was throwing things around in the kitchen. I hop out of bed, run into the kitchen to see if everything is okay. He had tried to take the ice out of the icemaker and it had basically exploded. We now have ice cubes all over our fridge not to mention what was on the floor. After realizing that there was no emergency and reminding him that 5:30 does not exist on weekends I went back to bed. Only to be awoken again by THUNDER... Then lightening. And like any normal person I counted the seconds between strikes. 3 seconds... That baby was close and my husband was planning on hiking? So once again I get up to let him know that it really isn't safe to be hiking in the mountains during a lightening storm. He told me that the weather said it wasn't going to rain. Umm have you not heard the fast approaching storm and the dark clouds that were now overtop our house? He reassured me that he wouldn't hike if there was lightening. Wow I feel comforted. So needless to say I didn't get much sleep after that.

Holli, it actually exploded out of the freezer all over the kitchen. Stupid icemaker doesn't know how to quite making ice so our ice box gets too full!
