These days I have gotten behind on so much at home and some things at work. I'm behind on the blog and painting the child's room. I'm the type of person who needs hard and fast deadlines and thrive on structure and early mornings, even though sometimes I'd rather stay in bed a little longer.
The structure and deadlines have to come from myself, because I've been an adult for a long time. :) So, this morning, after taking John to the ferry at 6am, I stayed up and got the laundry folded, the dishwasher unloaded and had time to watch my new favorite show on PBS about Japan. It's so interesting, and the hosts are mostly caucasians who speak beautiful Japanese.
Getting up early and going to the gym had been the plan. However, I haven't done it yet. John and I have found that we treasure the quiet, dark early mornings together and our drive to the ferry with our faithful Jill in the back seat. By managing my time better, I can get everything done and have more time to spare. Gym time will be in the evenings and John will take the bus home from the ferry.
Here's to early mornings and good time management.

Totally hear you!! Although I am not an early morning person, I push myself to get things done during nap times and at night. Lately I have been thankful for the nesting impulse which has kicked my butt into gear! I need to make more time for reading, I miss it and see you do a good job at reading books! Haven't heard about that show, might have to check it out since it is my birthland and all....
What a great way to start your day! I've been trying to shift to earlier mornings for months, and it's finally working now that I moved my Adoration hour from 8pm to 5am midweek. It's so cold here in the mornings that I need something external to force me out the door early!
You know, I've tried to get things done during nap times like you do, Erin, but I just haven't mastered the art of doing dishes while snoozing. Maybe it just takes more practice. ;)
