WHAT time is it????

When is it too early or too late to get up or go to bed? What exactly is an uncivilized hour for you?

When I was a teen, sleeping late meant 11:00 am or noon.
And staying up late meant 4:00 am. Or sometimes, the next morning!
That all ends when you have kids.

Now, sleeping late means 7:30 am. Even when I don't have to tend to the dogs, I still get up early. And staying up late is midnight ~ and sometimes that's a struggle.

Some people come into work at 6:30 or 7:00. I think that's uncivilized. I get up at 6:20, to be at work by 8:15. But if I didn't have to commute downtown, I would absolutely be staying in bed longer.

This morning I woke up at 3:45 am. That's when my husbands alarm went off. See, he was assigned the task of taking Mom to the airport. She needed to be there by 5:ish. I made him do it because he could come home and go back to bed. If I did it, I would have to stay up. So much for my plans! So, it's 3:45...no biggie, I can go back to sleep. Except he came back in several times to get his clothes, etc. And he wasn't very quiet about it either. I think he was subconsciously getting back at me for having to get up. Just when I started to doze back off, they put Bud (Mom's dog) in our bedroom and left for the airport. Well, poor Bud has separation anxiety. Yeah, after 20 minutes of trying to calm him down I decided I was too awake to go back to sleep and we all got up. I like Bud though...he plays with Pepper and he looooooves Greta. But damn! It's going to be a L*O*N*G day for me. It's 9:45 right now and I've been up for 6 hours already! That's just not right.

Thank heavens it's Friday. I'm not cooking when I get home - I'm taking a nap :-)
