My husband always has the alarm set so that he can wake and then after a while he comes to wake me. I never wake to an alarm.
This morning I did not wake to the alarm, I woke to him being beside me telling me that we slept in. Yikes we haven't done that in decades.
So both flew up and out of the bedroom. We are a few minutes behind our usual schedule, but am making it up. He rises earlier than he needs to.
What a rough start to the day, it should all be much easier now I hope.

Hope your day goes smoothly after the rough start. You both must have been tired to have overslept.

Thank you, it is actually a great day today.
My doctor started me on a new medication yesterday and a side effect is an upset tummy. I only took 1 dose, but I was up last night for about an hour with a terribly upset stomach. I was surprised that it could affect me so quickly, but it could be something else too.

@Marilynda1225 It was a great day, and it is no-cook Wednesday, so I am looking forward to a nice healthy wrap for supper tonight.

I feel for you. I hate how rushed I feel if I oversleep.

Was it a must to wake up to the alarm? As long as no harm was done in sleeping in, I think that's okay.

@toniganzon He is retired, but he goes to our son's home before he begins working so that he can look after the twins while our son and his wife both work.
