All the fire alarms going off in the house. I scrambled out of bed and ran from room to room checking for fire or smoke. Ran downstairs and did the same check. I found nothing but still called the fire department. Had to rush to get dressed and meet them when they arrived. They also checked the whole house and found nothing. They told me I must have a 'bad alarm' that was setting off all the others. They were kind enough to unplug all of them before they left. I called a company who sold fire alarms and bought brand new ones that same day. All, has been quiet since.
I was in work at 8am, however it was the birthday of a close friend the day before so it was one of those 'okay i HAVE to go out, I can't miss it, i'll just have to suffer tomorrow' things, well I got woken up way too late for my bus to work, I was so hungover and felt so ill.
My family all woke me up together laughing, it was not funny for me at the time. one of the worst days evvveeerrr

When my daughter was younger (and much smaller) she climbed up on the dresser and jumped on my stomach while I was sleeping (knee'd me in the privates too, accidentally). It knocked the wind out of me and hurt!!!!!!! However I remained graceful on the outside and explained why that was not a good thing to do to daddy.

I sort of get woken up like this at times, but from my cats and they are relatively smaller than a child. They will decide to chase one another or climb up on the window sill while I'm asleep. Sometimes they'll dart over me and dig their claws into me as they're launching off, chasing one another. One time I had a cat fall onto my head and scratch my scalp when she was trying to climb up into the window. And another time, my boy cat pierced my arm so deeply that it got infected, swollen, and was super itchy. I've still got the scar!
