I feel well-rested and ready to go!" :) @Erica – It will hurt at first, but then around 8 or 9 a.m. you will be like, “Would you look at that? I feel well-rested and ready to go!” :)

Well... I guess I haven't been trying hard enough (after all, who can wake up at 5am if they go to bed at midnight?). I will try it for real tonight by actually going to bed early. :) This is something that I’ve been meaning to do for a while now but have always failed miserably.

It takes me at least 20-25 minutes to get into the swing of things, which is why I started getting up earlier. There was nothing that grated my nerves more than being roused out of a deep sleep by the sounds of crying kids. Oooh, goodness, no! LOL @Cee Cee – I’m not a morning person either.

I am NOT a morning person, so when the children wake up before me, they're already going full-throttle while I'm still rubbing my eyes, and this makes me cranky. Getting up earlier allows me time to get a few things done so that later in the day I'm not juggling two toddlers and 5 chores/errands/assignments. It just puts me in a better mood. So why don't I do it more often? I will start. Monday I'll wake up at 6:15 instead of 7:00. My day always runs smoother when I wake up earlier.

I live in a reactive household! I think I'll give this a try tomorrow morning. Instead of getting up at 8am, I'll try for 7am. I'll be back to give you the details.

But if I'm out of my bed past 1 am, my son knows it and he's up too. So I compromise and stay up later, getting things done after he goes to bed and is sleeping heavier, and then I don't have to wake up until my son's ready to start the day. Otherwise, he would just get up at whatever ungodly hour I'm up. I can't even pee at 4 am without him waking up and screaming bloody murder. You know, I’d love to do this.
