...should mean early to bed. It would make waking up a whole lot easier!
When school starts the boys will have to leave for Seminary around 5:45 am, over an hour earlier than we've previously enjoyed. This means an early family prayer!
To get us ready for the big change, we've been adjusting our alarm clocks each week. Last week we were up at 7:30. This week is 6:45, though we let everyone sleep in yesterday because of a late night at the fair. We will be falling out of bed at 6 next week and 5:30 during the school year.
Years of enjoying solitude after the kids have gone to bed has trained me to be a night owl. This has been perfect since I've never been a morning person. Going to bed before 11 pm is very unusual and it's often around midnight when we shut off the lights. Of course, Chad still has a big reason to wake up in the morning and I'm sure he'd appreciate some extra sleep.
Most of the kids are dragging through the transition like I am. And then there's Leah who has her alarm set for 5:15 and is out watering plants an hour before I am getting out of bed. She also likes to cook and has been making dinner for the past few weeks. I'd wonder if she was perfect if it wasn't for the fact that she's terrible at cleaning up the kitchen afterwards.
School starts in 19 days. Before that happens, we have several more medical appointments, two birthdays (with parties), and a baptism to do. We're also trying to a few things accomplished in the house.
Who has time for sleep? But I so want a nap!
