It happens every morning around the same time; somewhere between 6 - 6:15 am.
My husband's alarm on his IPhone goes off and our room is filled with a bunch of LOUD GREEN FROGS. Yes, my husband chose the sounds of "ribbiting" frogs over a sweet symphony, or a ringing bell to wake up to every morning. He prefers to wake up to GREEN FROGS
Of course I don't mean that in a literal sense. I just mean that the sound coming from his phone is so loud and shrill that it fills our entire room. My husband seems to have a hearing problem between the time he goes to bed and the time he actually wakes up; so in spite of a crying child, a whining cat outside, or even the loudest alarm clock I've ever heard; he doesn't wake up without a nudge from me; sometimes more than one.
To top things off, he then pushes snooze until at least 7 am. So picture this; every 10 minutes from 6 and 7, my room is filled with loud, green frogs and my husband is absolutely oblivious; while I'm desperately trying to wake him.
By the time he actually does get up (a little after 7); I've been up for over an hour warring with loud, obnoxious, hopping green frogs. Not a very pleasant way to wake up every morning.
I love you babe, but the frogs must DIE!
i prefer the sound of Crickets on my iPhone
and it drives my wife crazy

UGH!!! I hate that! You are not alone, this happens to me 5 mornings out of the week. Then it is my turn on Sundays(cringe). My sound is a beeping tone...I hate it! I can't wait for retirement, then I can fulfill a life long dream off taking the alarm clock out back with a baseball bat and amshing it to bits until a sweet long awaited satisfaction comes over me and never look back(I'm sure my husband will probably want his own to join in on). Good bye alarm clocks FOREVER! What, I have about 30 more years till that happens...(looong sigh).

HAHA!!!! I soooooo feel your pain. My husband does the exact same thing with his alarm. However, I can say it's not frogs. But honestly, I think I wish it was. His alarm is this loud, punchy, jazz horn number. SOOOO loud and soooo annoying. I keep telling him, why can't you just set it to 10 min. before you know how really are going to get up instead of interupting my sleep every 10 minutes for an hour??
[sigh] You gotta love those men we're married to! :)
