I've tried to be an early riser in the past in order to spend devotion time with Britt, but all of my kids have had that sense that "mom's up" and get up too. I found it so frustrating and it wasn't a great way for me to start the day. So, now, I enjoy my evening hours and don't push myself in the mornings! I do wake up early enough to have a cup of coffee with Britt, but mornings just aren't my thing!

I'm not as much a night owl as I used to be. I think I could go to bed at 7 p.m. and I'd still not be ready to get up at 5 or 6. I have done a bit better lately getting in the bed by 11 instead of the used to be routine of 1 and 2. Noelle going to work has helped alot of that!<BR/>Happy Sat.

I always have been! My side of the family has the most fun toward the end of the night! In fact, when we stay at the Johnsons, Russ and I will sometimes go by my parents' house after Jim and Jan go to bed. <BR/><BR/>Now, Russ is more of a morning lark I would say. Although he likes to sleep in til 9 on his off times, he is always talking and "chipper" in the morning. Me - I don't talk early in the morning until I have my alone time (that would be on the way to school in the car). I know you'll think I'm crazy, but my mom used to LITERALLY drag me by my feet until I got out of bed, sometimes resulting in kicking!! I'm pretty sure this went into my teenage years! I told you I must have been a pleasant teenager! Ha! I'm sure I'll get paid back two-fold!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237289855693957253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-48720770004705200192009-01-16T15:46:00.000-06:002009-01-16T15:46:00.000-06:00My sleeping habits are seasonal.

Right now, I can sleep until 7:00 or later because it stays dark so much longer. And even when I wake up, I stay cozy under the covers until I hear the heat kick on! A piece of advice given to my by an older lady at church when I got married was to always go to bed at the same time as my husband...and that's what I've tried to do. It's advice that I'll pass on.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528610456530180218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-44153040517770627272009-01-16T11:26:00.000-06:002009-01-16T11:26:00.000-06:00I am a night owl too.

I didn't even sleep that late in the mornings, but I loved that quiet time at night when everyone else in the world (it seemed) was asleep. The first week we were married, he was heading towards bed by 9:00 or so. I vividly remember thinking, "OH NO!"<BR/><BR/>So for the last 10 years, I've been a morning lark, my schedule being very much like the one you described, pre-Sam! <BR/><BR/>However...since having MY Sam 18 months ago, I've gradually become less of a morning lark. He was a terrible sleeper from day 1, and being up half the night is not conducive to early rising...so, even though he sleeps all night now, I'm in the habit of staying up till about 11:00 and sleeping till 6, 6:30, sometimes even 7:00.<BR/><BR/>It helps that Mark is in the habit of making breakfast before he leaves for work, and leaving it out for us. A couple of years ago, I would've felt SOOO guilty about that, but not anymore!<BR/><BR/>Fun post!<BR/>EmEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339675152621385161noreply@blogger.com
