Your friendly 4 am wake up call

This is what I woke up to Wednesday morning at 4 am. ALL of our Fire Alarms going off. I panic jump out of bed and start running around the house trying to find the "fire". No fire anywhere!!! Still panicking because they are all still going off and we have one in all the bedrooms, so far both boys are still asleep, I dont know how, its loud enough to wake the dead. Noah is at work and has the car and I have no idea what to do. I call him at work, no answer. The alarms are still going off and I start to wonder if there is a fire in our neighbors house who we are connected too, so I go peek out the front door, no sign of a fire. I get out the stool to try and get the alarms down and even on the stool I can not reach them, can barely prey out the batteries, which only makes it stop blaring at me and start beeping at me. I call Noah again, still no answer. Now Braddoc wakes up (first time the whole night, makes me wonder "Would he have made it the whole night if it weren't for this?") So I am trying to call down his cries so the combo of that and the alarms dont wake Landon. Noah finally calls back and is no help at all. I call maintenance and they say it will be a few hours. "WHAT? Its 4:30 and I have 6 alarms going off and kids trying to sleep." Finally he tells me that he will try his boss and call me back. Then Noahs walks through the door, Thank goodness. He came home long enough to get the beeping to stop and take down the ones that would not stop. YEAH!!!! Well the next day the rest of them go off again.... oh what fun! Luckily Noah was home and got them all down. It was just the batteries! Figures they would all go out at once. But it was weird, usually it just beeps every few minutes annoyingly "CHANGE ME!!!" this time however they actually went off non stop. Crazy!!! Not my idea of a nice wake up call, but it did get me out of bed and wake me right up!!!
