I dinna ken it’s possible, but I”m trying. My Mom says I was born a night person. Olivia was too and I’m not going to trying to change that. As for me, I think it’s time I try and live in a more daylight world.
The past couple of days I’ve had my phone set to wake me at 6. The first day I shut the dang thing off immediately went back to sleep until 8. The second day got up and now the third. We’ll see how things go now that I’ll be baby sitting 2-10; I may have to tweak the plan a bit.
After tending to Samara and Jasmine, I may take longer to unwind. Today will be the telling day. Usually I can get them both down for a nap about 4:30. Usually. Jazzy girl always does but sometimes Samara refuses. She at least takes a quiet time.
Then I’ll have this time in the morning for things like this. 🙂 By the time Olivia is up I can turn the computer over to her. Then, actually work on this mess of a house! Samara is a walking tornado. Foget deep cleaning ANYTHING with her around. Going for the illusion of clean is almost impossible with her. She’s busy busy busy!
ON top of that fact, I’ve had to have the cats and dogs in due to bad weather and the fact that both pups have gotten too tall for their houses and keep popping them apart upon exiting. This spring I’m going to have a dog door install at one end of the shed that leads into a larger fenced in area. I’m also fencing in about another half acre for the safety of the grand kids. The fence will be rather cheap since I’m going to use field posts and pig wire. I know that sounds ugly, but I plan on dressing it up with moon flowers and morning glories around the back and with rambling roses where the fence will show in the front. Rustic and beautiful me thinks. 😉
That’s another reason to be more of a day person. My flowers will do better. lol It will be easier during the spring. I love to sit outside and drink coffee when it’s warmer. Lord willing, I’ll make it to my friend Sue’s and I’ll have some hens to giggle at this spring. We used to sit out near the chicken coup every morning talk and watch the silly little birds. By the time we were done with that one of the little ones had brought us all the eggs and we’d go inside a have breakfast. I miss that. I don’t have a house full anymore, but I still think I’d enjoy it even just me and Jesus. I know Caleb and Heather would come down for coffee and the boys do rise at the crack of dawn.
Maybe this is why I’ve chosen to do this now. Spring will soon be upon us and I want to enjoy every second of it!
