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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

You should've said "wrong number" and hung up.

Shit like that is on purpose, passive-aggressive stuff to ruin your ONE chance at getting sleep. Why is your mother so damn mean? I'll bet she's a bitch in other ways. Next time, UNPLUG your phone.

Look on the bright side: You could still go back to sleep, and because you were woken up, you got to enjoy that great feeling of falling back asleep! :)

AM or PM, or are we on a 24hr clock? OP didn't explicitly specify. The assumption would be AM, but we cannot be absolutely sure.

your mom's a badass. I cant believe you felt it was significant to tell your mother that you were "excited to sleep in". loser.

#2, If she's like any 60+ year old woman, she probably wakes up at like 4:00. So after asking her how she sleeps, you get to listen to her rant for a good 10 minutes. xD

My grandma wakes up at 9:30 to 10:00 and she's 83. I think the last time she actually got up early was when she had to drive me to school in the morning because I missed my bus.
