Early Risers!
I used to be an early bird…..way back before I had kids. I was most productive in the morning and couldn’t wait to get out of bed and get going. In fact, when Chad was working for his dad and would leave for work at 4 am, I would often get up then and clean the house or do homework for school.
I would love to continue being an early riser now…I think it would be awesome to be able to exercise (no apidexin for me!) and get my day going without the company of small people first thing in the morning. But as soon as they hear me up, both of them wake up so I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon.
So instead I’m stuck staying up until midnight or later trying to get work done. I’m definitely not at my best, but it’s the only time I don’t have constant interruptions. At least the kids sleep in until 8 so I can still get some sleep…..
….until lately.
Lately, they’ve been getting up before 7, which is oh so rude when I stayed up past midnight. Something is going to have to give. If they’re going to keep getting up so early, I’m going to have to come up with another solution to get stuff done and not stay up so late. I have no earthly idea what that would be, but I can’t keep drinking my weight in coffee everyday!
Any suggestions….either for rearranging my schedule or for getting the kids to sleep later?
