The Double-Digit Rule

I have a rule in my household. It is a rule established to preserve my obsessive compulsive sleep patterns, but honestly, I believe it should just be common sense for anyone who knows you have a family.

Do not call my house before 10:00am, and do not call my house after 10:00pm.

The 10 to 10 zone is OFF LIMITS. Unless we have plans on a Saturday or Sunday that include the hours BEFORE 10:00am, I am probably trying to catch up on all the sleep I’ve lost throughout the week. After 10pm, I am either engaged in some activity that probably would not be condusive to a telephone conversation or I am asleep. And we’ve already established what happens if my sleep pattern is disturbed. Watch out.
