Chirp in the am

It never fails...that chirping, set at about 2 minute intervals will drive you completely crazy. In fact, I think it should be considered the newest in detainee torture chambers..
The chirp, the low on battery power, smoke alarm chirp. You know the one, the one that never goes off in the morning or on Saturday when you are doing around the house repairs. Oh, the chirp that always starts at about 2:12 am when you are in your deepest, most treasured cycle of REM sleep. The one that goes off, you hear it, hope it was not what you think it was, snuggle deeper down in the covers and then 2 minutes later, CHIRP! to me the worst type of nightmare you can think of... because then, you have to wake the hubby, get out the ladder, check every alarm because they don't have any type of light signal but an annoying CHIRP that sounds like it could come from any of the FIVE we have in our house!! CHIRP! Exhausted, hubby disconnects the carbon monoxide alarm which then set off the house alarm and woke everyone in the house up... mom lulls them back to sleep, mom convinces hubby to just rip them down and throw them into the abyss of our garage until the next am.. sleep again at 3 am!
I am FIRED up about this...can you tell...
