I'm not a morning person AT ALL. I never have been and probably never will be. I'm a night owl, I like to stay up late and sleep in. Well now that I have kids I am still a night owl but am forced to be up early.
Tyler barely sleeps past 8 am which I am thankful that he wakes Mike up and not me. I however am on Lily's schedule, if she is up in the middle of the night I am up with her. If she wakes up at 5 in the morning I am stuck entertaining her. Thankfully she is finally starting to enjoy a few TV shows so anytime she decides to wake up early I just turn on Yo Gabba Gabba and she is happy.
What I miss most about not having kids is sleeping in till whenever I want. Sometimes when Mike goes out of town he gets to sleep in till like 12 or later and I hate him for it. The only way that happens here is if one of the parents tames the 2 kids while the other tries to sleep through all the nose they always make especially if someone is sleeping.
I remember when I would wake up before kids and it would be 11 or 12 on a weekend, sometimes later than that. It always felt so amazing and if I wanted to go back to sleep I could. Now if I want to go back to sleep I can but only in 5 minute intervals which obviously is so not worth it.
I took sleeping for granted before I had kids. I sometimes stayed up all night and then only slept a few hours to get up and do it all over again. If I could do it over I would dedicate days to just sleeping. Obviously you know what I will be doing all the time when my kids move out in 18 years. Man I cant wait for that day to come, I mean I can, I don't want them to grow up but I do want to enjoy some sleep!
