alarm clock? what alarm clock?

Today was Brendan's first day of summer school. The bus is supposed to pick him up in the morning, but he missed it this morning because we overslept really late. We stayed up late last night listening to severe weather alerts on the radio, watching TONS of lightning and listening to the booms ("Thunder!" says Maggie, or at least a word that's recognizably trying to be thunder. "Boom, boom!"). We had repeated power dips, and reset the clocks when we all went to bed around midnight when we thought the worst of it had passed, but there was apparently another power dip shortly after midnight. So no alarm clock. I'd set a reminder wake up call, and my voicemail says we got it, but I sure never heard it. But then, between the babies, Karl's schedule and me trying to get evening time with him, and all these late night storms, I am soooo sleep deprived. Usually it's been bright and sunny the morning after these storms, and the light wakes me, but today it's all overcast.
