Every night I tell myself when I get in bed,
"Okay Kellye, listen up...tomorrow will be the best morning
because you are going to wake up 30 minutes early
for your morning quiet time and coffee and then
fix the kids breakfast and wake them up
to a wonderful smelling kitchen and happiness all around."
And truly yall I want that to happen soooo bad. But then somewhere between 30 minutes early and 10 minutes late my brain goes into "this is not really happening" mode. I HATE THAT!!! I don't know why but the first thing I think about when I wake up is how long until I can go back to sleep. AM I NUTS OR WHAT?? Once I'm up, of course I am no longer interested in 5 more minutes of snoozing, but I have already RUINED my plans for the morning!!
So next week is a new week and IT WILL BE DIFFERENT!! Morning person or not, Im getting myself whipped into shape over here!!! No excuses, just great mornings...lets hope :)
Oh wow! Thanks for posting that. I stumbled upon your blog from Mr. Linky over at In Pursuit of Titus 2. I'm having this very same struggle. It seems so silly, but I sabotage my day every morning, then I re-plan every evening just to repeat the failure the next day. It's been frustrating, and I have no one to blame but myself. I'm praying for self control, but it was a big encouragement to me to know that I'm not alone in this struggle. I've been reading about so many moms who are getting up at 4:30 or 5am to have their quiet time and I just groan and roll my eyes when I think about my struggle to get up at 8! Any who, a long comment to say, thanks, and keep trying. I will too.
