As a mother of small children, it is not very often I get the luxury of sleeping in. Lately, Deklan has been my early riser who gets up between 6 and 6:30. I must also mention that he still wakes up for 1-2 feedings during the night.
I do not function very well before 7 AM and know I should go to bed early so that I am well rested in the morning. However, I'm a night-owl and can't seem to get to bed before 11:00, even if I'm tired all day. Once 7 PM hits, I'm full of energy and seem to be the most productive. Also, both kids are usually asleep by 8:00, and I need some time to myself and time to spend with my hubby.
Yesterday evening Vince told me he would get up with the kids so that I could sleep in. I was so excited I didn't make it to bed until 12:30.
Sure enough, before 6:30 Deklan started making noise, so Vince jumped up, turned the monitor off, and I didn't hear another sound until 8:30 when I finally woke up!
I have felt so rested today. I hope some more "sleeping in" days will be in my near future.
