One More Odie Mishap For The Books

 Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting from BoggsMobile. I hope you have had a fabulous week. Thank you for joining me for a short visit. 

I remembered a blog worthy story I had forgotten to share. This is a story that makes me laugh and shake my head in disbelief all at the same time. 

This moment happened on September 24th this year. I was flying back to Alabama from Ohio at 7:30 AM, which required me to set my alarm for 3:30 AM. My ride to the airport was scheduled to arrive at 4:30 AM. My prep work for the crazy early morning began the day before, making the morning a tad easier. 

On Monday evening, I marked several things off both my get ready and house shutdown lists. I set my alarm, laid my clothes out and tried to go to bed early, knowing everything was ready to go. 

At home, my Echo Dot wakes me with the news. Tuesday morning, I heard the news kick on and I jumped into gear. I knew my time was valuable that morning and I had to be ready on time. I made my bed, got ready and had just a few more steps to be completely prepared. I grabbed my phone to check something and realized it was only 1:00 AM. I was nearly ready 90 minutes before my wakeup time. 

Oh, I was so aggravated! Every second of sleep that is possible is important to me. I just grabbed a blanket to lay across my made up bed and tried to get more sleep. I do not know why my alarm went off so early. I had triple checked the time before I went to bed. 

It is better to be ready super early instead of late. At least I could have peace of mind that I would be on time. It just made my really eventful day longer. Thankfully I napped some on the plane. 

Dad often likes to say the day I was born 2 months early was the only time that I have been early. Well, that is not always the case and this story is proof!

Hope this Odie moment brought a smile to your day! I think I will go take a nap. Reliving this real nightmare moment to write it all made me tired again.

Thank you for reading. See you next week!
