ipad disabled itself?? Ipad 3, ios7 (yes... it is actually a 3 :( )

I updated my ipad to ios7. Loved it, great.

I'm sitting here working on my computer. Ipad is near me, not plugged it, not being used, not low on battery. I hear it make a sound, softer than a notification, and I look over. The screen woke up for a second then went dark again. I picked it up and hit the home button. I'm confronted with "ipad disabled" in the middle.

I wasn't even using it. Hadn't in hours. No one was near it??? I've never entered the passcode wrong. Not even once.

What happened??? How do I fix it?? I can't restore it, as that will wipe out data that needs to stay in place for the moment. My last back up was right before I upgraded to Ios7. Usually I always have everything set to go through the cloud.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 7

Just tried to Restore from Backup....

I get the message to disable Find My Iphone on my ipad before I can restore..

What the heck Apple??? I can't access the ipad because it magically decided to disable itself. I can't turn off an app I can't get to. I can't make a new ios7 backup right now because it's disabled. I can't un-disable it unless I do a restore.
