Could I Be A Morning Person? What if?!?!

I'm not sure if I have posted about this or not, however, this is something that I have wanted and have been struggling with for YEARS!!!

You see, it's like this: One of the greatest struggles I have, as do most people, is that there is simply not enough time in the day. Moreover, productivity, at least for me, happens earlier in the day as opposed to later. Thus, I need to just suck it up and get up at 6:00am. It's not that early and I know some of you are thinking, good grief! I get up at 4:30!

Now, you may ask, what exactly do you think you can get done by getting up earlier? The answers are:

• I can actually be to places on time.
• I can throw in a load of laundry.
• I can take the dishes out of the dishwasher.
• I can do a quick 20 minute workout.
• I can write.
• I can read my Bible.

There is a million things I can be doing in that extra hour.

What is hindering me?:

• I NEED at least 7 hours of sleep or I am a cranky, absent-minded looloohead that can't get anything done. Thus, I need to be in bed by 10:00 pm. Easier said than done. By the time bottles are washed, baby is bathed and put to bed, and things are in order for the next day, BOOM! It's 9:30 pm! And I am one of these people who need down time!
• I have disbelief in myself. I have told myself that I can't do it. I have told myself that I am not a morning person. In many ways, I have failed myself.
• The spouse doesn't necessarily want or need to be up at that time. And he's so snugglely and warm in the mornings!
• Baby has been waking up for the last two weeks at 2:30 am. Don't know why! It's just sort of happening.

This is what I'm going to try to do:

• Be ready for "chill time" no later than 9:00.
• Be in BED by 10:00. If I can't sleep, I've got Wuthering Heights on my bedside table. That should do the trick.
• Set two alarms and go immediately to the coffee pot!

Any other thoughts?

I will keep you posted!
