Most of you know that Keith has a hearing loss...as it does aggrevate me a lot sometimes, I know there isn't much I can do about it. So I do bear with it and repeat myself(which I hate doing). He also likes to "pretend" to not hear me when he does, thinks he hears me and answers with "yeah" when it was something that required more than a yeah...so even with a hearing loss he still has selective hearing.
Well when I pulled into the driveway yesterday after my errands a car pulled in after me. The woman got out and asked if I was "heather" I said yes. She says here is Keith's alarm clock...then it clicked who it was. It was the lady working with Keith through mass rehab to help with his disability. Then I got Keith and they chatted for a bit and she got to see Avery. They only live across the lake from us.
Let me tell you about this alarm clock...I had actually forgotten that he had gotten it, until she showed up. I am less than thrilled. Most mornings I have to tell him when its going off b/c he can't hear it. Which is fine, but not on days that I don't have to get up early as he tends to hit the snooze button quite often. So by the time he gets up, I'm already awake. This new clock...yeah it VIBRATES!! You simply put a piece of it under your mattress(at the foot of the bed, he once put it under the head of his bed) and it goes off and vibrates the bed instead of a loud annoying noise.
I'm not sure what is worse yet, but the dog does freak out when it goes off and he jumps on the bed. So I have a vibrating bed and a dog on me..great way to wake up in the morning! It wasn't to bad this morning b/c I woke up before it went off so I knew it was coming, we shall see what tomorrow morning brings....

Aaron wouldn't wake up to a vibrating bed... well not b/c of an alarm (hehe) he can't even wake up when our regular alarm goes off and he hears perfectly fine. LOL Hope Keith wakes up to it before you do tomorrow
