Burning the midnight oil


I’m such a night owl! I have some of my most ingenious, clever, journal worthy thoughts late at night. However, being a night owl is not conducive to bright and early mornings that should be spent getting ready for work. Lately, I’ve been hitting the snooze WAY too many times.

It’s amazing how decisive I am can be while half asleep. I can go from planning on getting completely ready to settling for wet hair that I let the air conditioning in my car dry and a quick coat of mascara that I put on during stop lights, just to get a few more minutes of sleep. I’m super jealous of early risers. I envy all the things they seem to get done before my alarm goes off for the first time.

If I were an early riser I would wake up and exercise, read my scriptures and actually kneel down to prayer, eat breakfast at the table, shave my legs, pluck my eyebrows, straighten my hair, apply a full face of makeup, make my bed and put away my “getting ready mess” and to just sit around and ponder.

I read this blog post (p.s: it’s an awesome blog you should read it often) awhile back and it gave me a ray of hope that I to could become a chipper, early riser. He trained himself to wake up at four freakin’ thirty in the morning. I don’t know about that! My goal is to wake up one hour before it’s time to leave my house No, it’s not a lofty goal but it will still be very hard for me.

Why do I make goals? A wise co-worker once told me that “Trying is the first step to failure”. In my case, he’s probably right 90% of time but every once in awhile something sticks. AND why do I blog about it? I have no idea! Sorry for the boring ramble.

I despise making goals for that reason. I really need to work on accomplishing something! My goal is to start working out after she goes to bed at night...I'll let ya know if it happens. HA.
