I have tried to be a morning person, but it's torture for me. I have always been a night owl and stay up creating things late at night. I don't know why I don't feel motivated to create during daylight hours...so it's a good thing I don't have to work until noon most days, because I often don't fall asleeep until 1:30-2. Works out perfect over the summer, but I will have to wake up early again once September comes. I'll have to turn in no later than 1am.

I'm a night owl - I always have been. One thing to look forward to is that when they get to be about 4 years old, they can be somewhat independent. My kids (4 and 5) come into my room to let me know they're up (at about 6:00), then they go into the fridge to get a muffin, then they head downstairs to watch TV while I sleep in for another hour or so. They know not to leave the house, and I keep the door alarm on just in case. I think it helps that there are two of them, so they can play together and watch out for each other. |
It's nice to see I'm not alone here. This is one of those things that has always made me feel really guilty as a mother -- that I'm not super-excited to see my kids in the morning and will choose sleeping in over being with them if I have a choice. My mom was the same way when I was a kid. I got myself ready for school every day starting in kindergarten and that was back in the day when 5 year olds also walked to school on their own as well. |
