Our church has a program called "His Kids" each summer where the kids work on a musical to perform at the end of the summer. They meet all summer one day a week and then for a week, right before the program, the meet daily from 8-3! I usually look forward to music camp, because it gives me a much needed break from parenting and I can get stuff done! This year, though, 8am is killing me! I would rather have the girls home all day bickering then have to get them up, dressed, with lunches packed, and to church by 8am! Well... maybe not bickering, but you get my point!
I'm trying to think positive thoughts about how this is practice for the beginning of school in a couple of weeks, but I just can't! I want to sleep late and I hate mornings! I keep hearing friends that are older than me talk about how they can't sleep late and go to bed earlier now... when is that going to happen to me? I mean, I don't remember ever having to wake my mother up to tell her we were going to be late... she was just always awake before me. Was it this hard for her to get up? What about you, friends, how are mornings in your house? Will I ever reach the point where I 'can't' sleep in? At what age does that exactly happen, cuz I'm pretty sure I've heard people my age who 'can't sleep in!' Does it just all of a sudden happen? Or will it come on gradually? ha! Ok, I think you get the point!
And although I've gone to bed at a decent hour each night, It's like I'm a walking zombie by 3. Today, it's even worse... Megs called at 11:20 to ask where her lunch was... I was supposed to be picking it up... OOPS! I completely forgot! That's not the only thing I have forgotten... and while individually it all appears to be little things, I'm sick of getting home and realizing I forgot things! Maybe I should take some ginseng or something... or wait, I have a better idea... I could just sleep til 8am and my brain would function better... ha! In my dreams...
Anyway, hope everyone is having a great day!

I hate to say it, but I am one of those who cant sleep in anymore. Sometimes I really wish I could but it doesnt happen. I DO NOT get up at 530 like my hubby though! Good luck with the sleep issue... Just get up and start the Dr. Pepper or Coffee. Works for me!!!
I think some of our clock just work differently from others. If I could sleep until 10 everyday I'd get tens times much stuff done. That's just how I work.
I am not a morning person either and although I can't sleep "late" I do like to sleep in a little!! I guess 8 am is late to some people, but it's the perfect waking time for me!!
I'm with you on the forgetting things. Man, lately I HAVE to write everything down or I will not remember it. I have started sticking sticky notes everywhere so that I can remember the littlest things. A friend of mine and I have decided it's the kids fault. They have taken every little piece of thinking process that I once had...so just blame it on them!:)
