thanks IMR. I couldn't stand it and wanted to try what Kat and others had suggested at least for tonight. So I took out the old battery putting in a freshly charge one about ten minutes before her normal beditime, I had her on for no more than six minutes and at 10;06, off she went with one beep after being awake for almost six minutes and eating her leaf about three times. I left her completey alone, not touching the battery or anything in a safe place on the floor to see if she will magically awake at 8:00 or so in the morning.
If that does not work, I will try your advice, turing her on at noon hittting the clock reset button. NOw is that the button in her foot or the one that is RESET that Kat talked about in her battery compartment area. opposite the light that lights up, green? Sounds stupid but I am not taking any chances...LOl. The problem is, I have such problems with that stupid foot clock battery thing, sometimes it beeps once and sometimes keeps beeping and I am not sure if I am hitting that spot correctly in her foot, using a paper clip. (Last time I tried it, it took almost a whole day to get it right as she just kept beeping and I had to change the battery in her foot and it is messed up with a broken prong, i do not look forward to messing with that battery compartment at all! If it is the battery compartment and it is done correctly and quickly enough, I just have to hear that beep once and then I can turn her off manualy till bedtime correctly, then she will be awake for a few minutes then go back into slumber and hopefully wake up in the morning? If this is correct, then I think it is do-able and hopefully will work

Thanks IMR, I appreciate the advice. RWM
( I am somewhat stressed today, I have a weather loach that is in the process of dying and I dont know what to do, finding a fish upside down at the bottom of the tank but still occasionaly breathing every few minutes is terrible. I want to give him a chance but my hubby says "euthanize him, and I can't do that giving him all the chances he may have." Baby is just adding to frustration but small in comparsion for sure.) Weather loaches if you aren't familiar with them are terrible clowns and on several occasions I have found them to be what I thought was dead or dying and they take off swimming and they love to bury themselves in gravel with just a head or tail sticking out like a cut off part. terrible jokers but not when they are really at the end of their lifespan................
