Does anyone else have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning? Since we're now on a schedule I wanted to keep for school, we are getting up an extra 1.5 hours earlier than we normally were so that we can be finished with school by noon. We are a family of night owls, through and through. I've been a night owl since high school, and early mornings are killer.

Last night we were all so tired from all our activities so far this week, that I just couldn't force myself out of bed when the alarm went off this morning. We have our homeschool library program this afternoon for an hour and a half. So, I decided that today will be a "media" day. The kids have several educational PC games that they learn oodles with, so we are having "media" time with the only requirement being that they have to play the ZERO game first and study their spelling. The library program only happens once per month, so I think I may do this as a break from the norm once a month on that day.

I wonder if I am being too strict about getting everything done by noon. Our family may not be cut out for the early morning stuff. I guess I will set the alarm as a "goal" and try to keep it, but I won't kick myself if it doesn't all happen by noon. It just seems like other families can do this with no problems!!

Anyone else here a family of night owls??
