Sleeping in?

Listen,

So, today was my day to sleep in... Hana and I kind of take turns waking up early with Brady... I guess I shouldn't complain, because even when you have to "wake up early" with Brady, you usually get to sleep until 8 or 8:30, and just watch cartoons on the couch. The one who gets to "sleep in" really doesn't have a limit to their wake-up time, but usually that ends up around 9:30 or 10, but in extreme circumstances I have pushed the envelope to 11:30... this occurs after I've picked up an extra shift and have worked three consecutive 12-hour shifts.


Well today was my day...Hana told me last night that she had to get up early to get ready for a hair appointment so the morning was mine. Well guess what..... I wake up feeling wide-awake and fresh as a summer morn' at 6:30 in the freaking morning!!!!! Why does this happen? I would pay great sums of money to be able to wake up feeling like wide awake and refreshed just once on a day that I had to work. I swear(literally and figuratively), on the days I go to work I stumble out of bed with just minutes to do "the 3 S's" and drive to work half-asleep. It drives me up the wall. This morning I actually had almost 2 hours (before I heard Brady stirring) with the house all to myself... so what did I do??? I played freaking computer games...what a loser. To make matters even worse I took double my usual dose of sleeping pills to ensure a late sleep. Argh!

Anyway, soon enough "Baby Boy #2" (as he is now known) will be here and those sleeping in days will be soon forgotten.

It is going to be tough to beat my activities of my last day off, but I shall try. It is kind of sick how much I actually enjoy mowing my lawn... I guess I feel a bit of pride in keeping my yard looking nice like of one of my favorite cartoon heroes Hank Hill whose lawn is always a work of art. I agree with Hank in most circumstances, but I prefer to grill with charcoal... I'll leave the propane and propane accessories to ol' Hank

Good Morning Now.
