We have noise machines in every bedroom in the house. My attempt to get the girls to sleep longer. Does it work? Only with Ellery and her naps. On Tuesdays I have to wake her up in order to pick Molly up from preschool on time. I can walk into her room with a fog horn and she probably wouldn't budge. But the second I turn the noise machine off, her eyes pop open! The girls are up at the crack of dawn (sometimes earlier) every morning. I have the machines set to timers (thank you for the idea, Tami) so they'll turn off at 7. That seems like a reasonable time (to me) for them to come downstairs. The rule...you can come down when the machine turns off. Do they follow it...nope. Well, on a rare occasion they do.
Molly peeks down from upstairs this morning and sees me heading for the coffee maker. She asks, "is your machine off?"

Ugggh. I will have to show your post to Barry - every time he talks about moving somewhere warmer, I bring up the spider/bug thing, and he doesn't believe me. I'm sure you'll get used to shaking out those clothes, and knowing you, as such a good housekeeper, nothing sits on the floor too long anyway!
