Well, it looks like my experiment with getting up earlier and trying to train myself to be a “morning person” was a big bust. It just isn’t going to happen right now. I got up 1 1/2 to 2 hours earlier than usual every day for a whole week, and for a few days in a row while we had Zoey, and I just didn’t get those feelings that morning people report about being up early – enjoying the sunrise, the peaceful feeling of being awake before everyone else, being able to get things done, etc. I could barely open my eyes to even see the sunrise, I felt more grumpy than peaceful, and I was so lethargic that I couldn’t get anything done. Not only that, but it was hard for me to get anything accomplished during the day, too. I think I just naturally prefer evenings/nighttime because that’s when I get those peaceful/get things done feelings. And sleeping in makes me so deliciously happy. So, I’ve decided that I’m not a morning person, and in the words of my brilliant sister, “It’s like trying to talk me into being Chinese or six feet tall or being Quaker. I’m not.”

Too funny…I love how you describe sleeping in…”deliciously happy”…what a perfect description. I feel the exact same way! 😉

Unfortunately you probably just inherited the “not an early bird” gene. I have never overcome it either. :>)

Hee, hee! (Somehow I imagine your Grumpy is still awfully nice!)

I am right there with you- I have such grand intentions of starting the day at the crack of dawn, but just end up bitter and angry. 🙂 I’m a sleeper-inner at heart.
I think early mornings squash my creativity. So really, I’m doing myself and my clients a favor by sleeping in. 😉
