Today, I got to sleep in late for the first time in 3 years, as wife took our two young daughters out of town to visit with her parents. I told my mother that I was really looking forward to being able to sleep in this morning. The phone rang at 7:30. It was my mother asking me how I slept. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5 a.m., my mom loudly knocked and came in. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML
Today, and for the first time in months, I woke up feeling well rested and ready to face the day. At 7pm. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke me at 5am, just to say how great it was that I could still sleep two more hours before leaving for work. FML
Today, my wife finally let our kids stay the night at my mom's house, meaning we had our first night totally alone together in 6 years. She spent all night texting my mom for updates on the kids or on the phone to her sister, so I watched a film by myself then went to bed bored at 8:15 p.m. FML
Today, my husband was going to let me sleep in for Mother's Day. That would have been great, if my brother didn't call me at 5:30 in the morning to say Happy Mother's Day. Now I'm up like any other day. FML
Today, I had three days off work. My mom woke me up for work on all three of those days, despite my repeatedly asking her not to. When I actually had to go to work this morning, she didn't wake me up. At least I wasn't late. FML
Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML
Today, I didn't get to sleep until 5 a.m., as I stayed up to finish off a big project that I have been working on for the past week. I was then woken up at 6 a.m. by my daughter saying she was ready for school. School starts at 9 a.m., and is a 2-minute drive away. I'm now at work, living off an hour of sleep and coffee. FML
Today, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML
Today, I had my first day off in weeks. I was excited about getting to sleep in, until my boss called me at 6:30 in the morning to remind me I didn't have to come into work. Thanks. FML

Yeah, screw that bitch. I'd call her ass up at 5:00 Am or something and ask how she slept

#17/24788: You have a point. @OP: My Mom's "sleeping in" is like... 8:30AM. A couple people in my grade are the same way because their parents won't let them sleep in later than that. It sucks though. You could have gone back to sleep. Or just ignored the phone call? I feel sympathy for you though. I hate it when people think waking others up is funny when they're extremely tired.

Although I know how you feel. Sometimes I can't go back to sleep... Maybe you'll get another chance to sleep in soon. Before another three years hopefully.

This is when you unplug all the phones in the house

I feel you, man. This is totally the kind of thing my mother used to do. And no matter what time of the day she called me, day or night, the first thing she would always say was, "Did I wake you up?"

Sometimes I can't stand how ignorant some people are when posting a reply to these anecdotes. "Turn your phone off!" "Roll back asleep!" "This isn't a FML!" Come on, people! People are limited on the number of characters when typing up these FML's. Why turn off your house/cell phone? Something terrible could happen, and the OP would have no way of being contacted. Some people CAN'T roll back asleep. It could take a few minutes, or, it could even take an hour. Not everyone is the same.
