Early Mornings

So the school year has started and with it comes the dreaded wake up alarm. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m a fan of waking up naturally. I seem to always feel better if my body decides when it wakes up. So what does my body do? Wakes me up every hour to ensure I do not oversleep my alarm. Did I get up on time? Yes. Do I feel rested? As much as I normally do. Do I still hate it? Yes.

This morning was the first day of many early mornings getting ready for school. Not only has my child began school, but I have started my semester as well. Yes, I am STILL in school. Apparently, I enjoy torturing myself to further my education. Ha! Got to always reach for that goal! Bad thing for me is I am always setting new goals.

Like many, I need coffee to function. Ok, so that’s a lie. I don’t NEED it, but it sure makes my mornings better. Most days it only takes one cup to get me going. Today, it was definitely a two cup morning. Maybe tomorrow I’ll only need one.

It was a success this morning. Everyone was up and out the door on time. Teeth brushed and all.
