Morning

I am not sure why God created mornings. But even though he did, I have always hated them. In my schooling years I would stay up late, and get up at the last second. Throw on some clothes, or take on of those two minute showers depending on how close I cut it. Then I would walk or ride my bike to school. I refused to ride the bus. It was that the bus stop was four blocks (in the opposite direction as the JH and HS), it left at 7:30am. To catch the bus, and make sure that you got there early enough that you didn't miss it (it sucked the first time I got there and missed it and had to walk the four blocks home and then the seven blocks or so to school) you had to leave my house at 7:15. To make it to school on time walking straight there (which was about seven blocks, and just under 3/4 of a mile) I had to leave the house by 7:50. So, I caught the bus twice (and missed it that once) and from then on, I got myself to school. I never socialized before school, because I never gave myself that much time.

College was much the same when I did have morning classes. I always tried to schedule them later in the day, after my first year. First year second semester my first class started at 12.

Moving on in life didn't help much. When I worked, I was often up at seven so that I could get to work by seven thirty (I don't know why but I was chosen as opener a lot). I would drink a lot of coffee (I worked the Starbucks counter in Target). However, my husband and I have always been naturally drawn to a second shift life. Together we choose to get up later then most and to go to sleep later then most.

What's the point? It's 5:06am and I am getting up. Nope, I am not getting ready to go to bed, but getting ready for the day instead! And I have been up for a half an hour! My husband will be working 6-5:30 M-F and to spend the optimum amount of time with him I need to move to that shift too. Which means getting up at 4:30 and going to bed at 10 or 10:30. I just can't believe it!

Well speaking of that time I wanted to spend with him...
