The alarm wasn’t supposed to go off yet. It was 3:33 a.m., and this had been going since after about a month had passed that Jeannie and her family had moved into the new house. It was okay for now because she wouldn’t be going to her new job for at least another two weeks. Yet, she couldn’t help but wonder what was wrong with the alarm, which had been her wake-up buddy for the last fifteen years and had never even skipped a beat, much less gone off at the wrong time every morning. “It was a wind-up for goodness’ sake”, she thought to herself. Jamie and Jack slept peacefully. Nothing could wake those two. Jeannie peeked into Jenny’s room and she, too, was in a deep sleep. Jeannie, on the other hand, couldn’t sleep, so she closed the bedroom door. At least John could get a full night’s sleep.
