I have always been a night owl. Mornings suck and I’ve tried to become a morning person but I can only do it for a few weeks before I fall out of whack. lol It became even worse when I went to school.

I got up around 5:30 to pack hubby’s lunch so I could see him for at least a few minutes in the day. Back to bed for couple of hours if I was lucky and up with the kids. Then quickly to work. Lunch and crashing into a nap if I didn’t have to study for a test. Then off to school and home around 11:30pm. Of course at that time I am jacked up from class and my brain overloaded. I became one with watching movies, studying and writing papers after midnight.

I know I have this issue. But my body has been adapting to very little sleep. Unfortunately, I’m seeing a huge pattern on the nights that hubby is working. It’s 3am right now and I really wanted to be up around 6:30 to go jogging before we take off on a road trip. Plus I want to make breakfast and wash the dishes. UGH, I am not tired. I get to this point and I don’t know whether to go to bed or just hang in and stay up a few more hours.

My problem is, if I stay up then I know hubby will have gotten no sleep either and we’ll have the choice of two people on the roads who may be tired. Since hubby hasn’t texted me back after someone walked into the station I can bet that he has gotten his butt kicked like predicted. He was worried because they had 1 call all day. That usually means a horrid night.

Anyway, I’m up still and I shouldn’t be. My dog even just glared at me, huffed and went to our room to sleep. lol I’ll go follow her now. I know I’ll be getting lots of sleep this weekend at my FIL’s. It’s laid back there, so I’m sure I can even take naps and not get grief. OH WAIT! It’s my FIL’s, I’ll get grief no matter what. lol We have a pretend love/hate relationship. He calls me “what’s her name” after 19 years. If you have seen Gran Turino then you met my FIL. Thankfully his racial slurs are not that prominent, but yes, they are there.
