As a full-time retail professional, I have a different schedule than most full-time working adults. My husband works M-F 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. CST. I work 2 p.m.-11 p.m., 8 a.m.-5 p.m., 7 a.m.-9 a.m. then 5 p.m.-10 p.m., and etc. etc. You get it. My schedule is always different. There are definite aspects of this which are great: I can do grocery shopping on a Monday off, during the day when everyone's at work. I can take a really long shower at 11 a.m. before I go in at 1. I can work out, go to morning aerobics classes, or be off all day on a weekday and make Jonathan a really nice dinner. I also sometimes miss Sunday School class, Gilmore Girls, or Jonathan getting home from work. There's a definite trade-off.
Probably the biggest contemplation at this point, after having lived this way for several months, is my sleep schedule. Now, as I told Brooke this morning, I like being up early. Honestly. You can get so much accomplished in the mornings. But, I have to be frank, it is not easy for me. I am not one of those once-awake-always-awake type of people; I can fall asleep again at the drop of a hat. With several mornings off a week, I have the chance to sleep in longer than I normally would, while still going to sleep at the same normal 11 p.m.-ish time as Jonathan. So, this is mainly a confession: I am not good [yet] at being an adult who can just pop out of bed at 7:00 a.m. But it isn't for lack of wanting.
I am not good at getting up early still after years of working. Keep it going, you're doing great!
ReplyDeleteI'm an early bird. Love getting up early. But I cannot stay awake past 10:00 p.m. and I usually want a nap around 1:00 p.m. I envy people who can stay up late. Guess you always want what you don't have!
ReplyDeleteTesney, my husband is your exact type of early birdishness. He loves waking up early but he craves those afternoon naps. I tease him by saying that "true" morning people do not need to compensate for getting up early! ;) On the flip side, I am always talking him to sleep at night when he can't keep his eyes open and I am wide awake as ever!
