Since we've gotten to this new place, I haven't been much of a morning person. To be honest, I've been getting up as late as I can possibly manage, enjoying my ability to sleep in. Teaching dance classes makes it hard to get home, wind down, and get to bed at a reasonable time. When I'm leaving my class at 9pm, it's not like I can just hop on home and into bed. I'm far too wired. It's meant my schedule is all mixed up.
Today I'm feeling like I'm made of lead. I had to get up this morning to go to an appointment. The cold morning air was a blessing. Without it, I think I might have been asleep at the wheel! I felt groggy, and still do. A part of me doesn't think I can function through the rest of the day and just wants to take a nap! But I'm up and awake, so I'm going to run with it.
I'm really going to have to be a morning person soon. My partner just got a new job with more regular hours, which means getting up early to drive him to work so I can have the car during the day. It's not like I'll need the car every day, but I can actually get something done while he's at work. I can do all the grocery shopping, errand running, and all of that. I can get the kids involved in the homeschool co-op, which I think would be wonderful for them. It would give them a chance to get to know some other kids their age as well as learn some really fun new things. I'm almost looking forward to that.
In the grand scheme of things, I'd forgotten how much my life is better when I'm up and functioning in the morning. Being an early riser has always been a struggle for me, but I find I'm more productive and functional than when I allow myself to sleep in. Perhaps this will be a change for the better!
