Up very early this morning, and feeling wonderful?...
So today I was up at 5.30am to babysit at 6.30. I had been dreading this day for a long time, because I hate mornings. I would rather stay up till 1am and sleep till 10am. So last night I made the effort to go to bed at 10pm. Which is early for me, but I figured I would need the sleep and was tired from just being sick and achy these past couple days. I set my tv timer for 20 mins and was out before it even went off. This morning I woke up at 5.30 feeling SOOO refreshed. I dont even feel tired at all, and I have been up for hours already! This is so strange because normally I would want to take an afternoon nap. So I am thinking that I am OVER sleeping and that is making me tired and feeling doggish all the time. Could that be?
Dont get me wrong I LOVE sleep, but I really think I am getting too much of it and need to go to bed early to get up early. However if I had set my alarm for 5.30 to go work out I would have never gotten out of bed. I guess its different motives, but man I really need to keep this in mind. Tomorrow I have class at 10 so I will probably stay in bed till 8ish. Then Thursday I have another early morning 7am babysitting, and Friday 10am and Saturday 7am again. I cant complain because I am lucky to find a great family like this to care for there baby, and really they are helping me get up in the morning and feeling better and more awake. Oh and it does help that there house has TONS of windows so I am just soaking up all the sunlight that is glaring off the 6 inches of snow that feel last night!
So today so far so good. I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, and a granola bar at about 9, and then a 3 point bagel with 1 point jam on it for lunch.
Well I will probably be around tonight while watching the biggest loser. I am off to read one of my text books since the kid is sleeping again! This morning for 3 hours, awake for 1 hour and now back down. I cant complain can I? And I thought his colic was going to drive me nuts....perhaps I am getting lucky today!!!
Happy Tuesday everyone!

I have a tough time going to bed early...can't shut down...but I am usually up at 5:30 regardless. The funny thing is, I find it easier to get up to work out that to GO to work! Have fun with the baby!
