This has been a long week....and it's only Wednesday!

I have worked 8 am - 4 pm three days this week and I guess I'm just not used to the early morning 'daily grind'. The whole "early to bed, early to rise" philosophy has not been working very well for me lately!

Now, I have worked many jobs when I have had to report to work even earlier than 8 am and I actually ENJOYED the morning hours and had no problems heading out to work early, but for some reason, these days.....I appreciate and enjoy a 'slow start' in the morning. I like my cup (or two) of tea in the morning and I cherish the extended morning hours for Bible reading, prayer and meditation.

Perhaps because my brain is still on "summer hours" schedule, or perhaps it's sipmly that I have not been getting the sleep I need, I don't know, but I am not feeling "on top of my game" this week. I have a few aches and pains that are occuring with this 'out of the ordinary' work schedule and that fact doesn't make the days (specifically the mornings) any easier!

Well, tonight I am sure THANKFUL that tomorrow's work day begins at 11 am! **OH....Happy Big "40" Birthday to my nephew, Brandon! WOW...40 years!!!

What time do YOU get up and 'out the door'?

WHAT! Brandon's 40??!! I'll be up and out of the house tomorrow by 7:30. Molly has an early morning dr. apt. and wants me to go with her....but one nice thing about my job is I can get there any time as long as I work a 40 hr. week. So some days I'm out of the house by 7:30 and some mornings not till 9.

Hmmmm...I get up at 6:45am. I shower, eat breakfast, wash the breakfast dishes, make bottles for the day, put baby's clothes away from laundry the night before and start my official work day at 8am. I don't really 'walk out the door' though because I'm a live in nanny :)
