Looooong Day Ahead

Boy, it's going to be a long day ahead.  I will be off work in a little over an hour (7 am).  I've been here since 3 pm yesterday.  These 16 hour shifts are hard!!  I'm so ready to get home and see the girls.  Hopefully they're kind to me today and let me take a nap!  I'll be running on four hours of sleep..... whew.  This Mom needs at least eight hours....preferably 10!  I've tried to be super organized and super efficient and set the alarm to get up before the girls, shower, get dressed, hair, makeup....  have quiet time and read my Bible...  get a load of laundry going and the house picked up..... maybe even make something yummy for Hallie for breakfast...  THEN they get up??  Ok, I want to know... does this seriously happen?  It my perfect world, yes, it does.  But my house is by far perfect!  Here is a reality check.  I sleep till the first girl wakes up... usually Hadlie, and that's between 7 & 8:00.  Feed and play with her, eventually get breakfast for Hal, possibly pick up a little bit... make it to the shower by 9:30 or 10... by the time I get myself ready it's time for lunch.  SERIOUSLY???  Where has my morning gone???  I've tried being super Mom/Wife, and go to bed when Josh does around 9 or 9:30 (if Hadlie is in bed!!), get up when he does.... or at least by 6:30....  but GEEZ!  I just don't function like that!  I'm more of a stay-up-late & get things done then, and sleep in kind of girl....  is there anything wrong with that??!!!!!!!!

  1. Ths is funny. Just last Saturday morning I was snoozing away when Molly & Lindy appeared at my bedside. "Breakfast please", it ws 6:30 in the morning!! I said to them "let me explain to you girls about Saturday mornings!" You know it did'nt matter one bit what day it was, they wanted food. :)

  2. LOL Aunt Sherry that's funny! I wish I was, but I've just never been an early morning person! Josh, on the other hand, was out washing his truck and fertilizing the yard a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning at 6:00 am..... this is something wrong with that!! :)
