Not a Morning Person
One of the things people told me was that being a mommy would change my schedule. I would get up earlier and go to bed at a more reasonable hour. The baby would force me to become something I've never been - a morning person.
I was looking forward to it, really. I thought, "I'll be so much more productive!" Being on the same schedule as the rest of the world, as opposed to my lifelong ideal of sleeping from 3-11am, would have such a positive impact. This was going to be great! Ok, maybe i wasn't that excited about it, but I did see some benetifs.
Welll, the last few weeks E had been waking me before 8am most days. Today it was 6:45. In the morning. Lets just say that magical transition to "a morning person" has not happened. I still can't get to sleep before 2am, and if you do the math, that's not eight hours of sleep. I'm decidedly not a morning person. In fact, I'm barely a person at all in the morning.
I am writing this at 1:47 a.m. and OH MY GOD, me too.
