I am also a 9 hours a night kind of a girl. Unfortunately I am also a night owl. When you have children AND are homeschooling them, that combination doesn’t mix well.

Yep. I burn both ends of the candle here as well. I rarely get much blogging time anymore. On top of all the normal family/kid stuff and homeschooling responsibilities this is also a very busy time for me getting the year end bookwork done for our business.

Holly at Aiming High totally has me busted. I was going to post some witty comment about pregnant mommies of twins needing about 9 hours of sleep a night, and a 1 - 2 hr nap during the day. But wow! 4 kids under 6 and expecting another… she totally has me beat.

I am a complete & total night owl. I love staying up long after everyone has gone to bed. I’ve really felt that I need to start getting up early though - like in 5am early. I have yet to make it. My hubby does need to be up early for work though & I do now at least try to go to bed when he does - typically about 10pm. That makes it a LOT easier to get up around 6am - still not as early as I would like - but way better than what I used to do (stay up until midnight-1am & sleep until 8am). Of course, ALL my boys are early birds. Blah!

*sigh* I’m so with you on this one Kathy. In my ideal world, I would stay up till 4 am and sleep until noon… I just can’t get anyone around here to cooperate with my schedule : D

I’m about ready to give in and take up coffee…

Hi Kathy!
The pictures came out great…I would love a copy of the one with Daniel and Adam.

I chuckled when I saw the title in my inbox this morning. I rolled out of bed at 8:35….it’s now 8:39 on my computer. I went to bed at 11:30 last night after taking a hot bath so I could fall asleep quickly. I’ve found that I really do need 9 hours of sleep on a regular basis in order to be “awake” all day. If I get less than 9 hours, I fall asleep while reading stories to my littles in the afternoon. I’ve also found that I have more focus when I am in the middle of being required to listen and discuss things. I can do a 5 or 6 hour night once in a while for a super organizing frenzy, but not very often.

I agree with your aunt about you have the gifts of being energetic and creative! I guess part of the gift is that because you ARE so energetic and creative you like to always have busyness going on around you eh? There’s never a dull moment at you house!

It’s probably best I don’t say much here as I’m one of those morning people that everyone loves to hate. I feel the day is gone if I have slept in until 6:00 A.M. If I’m up past 10 P.M., I am a zombie. I could blame it on being pregnant and having four other children six and under, but these have always been the hours of sleep even before children. :>)
Many Blessings,
Holly

You are a very busy woman. I hope today isn’t quite so full.

As for the sleep, I’m one of those people that need AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep every single night or things start to get ugly. After a few days of not getting my beauty rest my body will do something horrible, like giving me a migraine that will force me to crawl into bed and do nothing else until I catch up on those missing Zs.

Girl, I’m tired just reading everything you did.
