Last night we stayed up too late, and I knew that I would be struggling to get up this morning. He had given me an hour online while he and the boys were playing music together (I am not included because of my lack of musical ability). This put all of us staying up until 9:39...and normally my younger two are in bed at 9pm. I made sure the boys got in bed, and by the time we got to bed it was almost 11pm and I'm a *10hours a night* kinda gal.

The alarm went off at 5am, which is the time I set to get up because he gets up at 5:30am for work and I wanted to be able to read and pray before getting him up. I plopped over on my back and let out a HUGE sigh, "I'm sooo tired!"

He said, "lets just sleep in a little since it's my day off...just til 6am."

I thought that was a good idea, giving myself an extra hour since I didn't need to be up before a certain time in order to help him get ready. So that's what I did. I set the alarm for 6am and got up when it went off...and he got up with me.

Ok, so now I didn't have *my* quiet time alone. (my husband is the type that really enjoys spending every minute with me, and he would be hurt if I asked him to leave me alone...so I did NOT do that).

I still read and did my study while I had my tea. Then I made us some oatmeal...first breakfast. We will probably eat again with the boys (who are not even up at this time...they get up at 8am). We sat around and talked about a lot of different things, and it was nice...to have that time alone of the morning. I missed my quiet time alone though, and tomorrow I will be getting up before he does...even if it is just 30 minutes as I do on the days he works.

Always life is a live and learn thing though, and I told him that in order to get up I am going to have to go to bed earlier. He thinks it's a good idea that I take a nap during the day in order to help me stay rested, so I will probably do that as well...but with a clock because if not I will sleep 3hours.
