My boys and their crazy little body clocks are driving my crazy. I am sure other parents have similar issues but the only way I can feel better is to lament about it a bit. During the week (days they need to get up by 6:15am) they are slow to get up, cranky and whiny. They always ask to go back to sleep or sleep later. On the weekend however the little monsters are springing out of bed at the butt crack of dawn. We don’t have a super big house and the living room where they congregate first thing in the morning on a Saturday to wrestle and growl at each other in weird boy tones is right next to my room, where I am still trying to sleep in my cozy bed. Then there was today, a glorious day off which happened to be a weekday. Right on cue those funky little body clocks hit the snooze and they slept until after 9am! Absolutely amazing. We were fortunately able to take a much needed day off, have a late breakfast, hit the grocery store, work on some projects (school and pinewood derby). I actually feel rested, I’m sure 6am will still come about an hour too early for me tomorrow though!
