What goes through your mind when the phone rings at 5 am

[Wyndi]

 when the phone rings at 5 AM my first thought is who DIED! My 2nd thought is Did I get a new niece or nephew? No to both. Its the school calling saying 2 hour delay.

I may be old fashioned but I was brought up that all phone calls after 10 pm to 8 am are family emergencies. A school delay does not fall in that category.

When I get up or DH gets up, we turn on the local news. Thats where we have always gotten the news: 2 hour delay, school closed. this whole idea of calling and waking up the house at the crazy hours of 3 am, 4 am and 5 am or if your one of the last to get the call 6 am, just makes me grumpy.
