Does anyone else have trouble going to bed after the kiddos and hubby are asleep? I just love the solitude and tranquility of a sleeping household. But I don't love the fact that if I sleep in late, my whole day has passed me by. Thereby leaving me stressed and crunched for time. Not to mention the guilt of letting my toddlers fend for themselves with DIY peanut butter sandwiches! But I LOVE staying up late...*sigh*
In order to get up before anyone else, I would have to be up around 5 am! I am SO NOT a morning person. I don't start to process anything until after 10 am...lol! Why, oh why am I this way??? *frustrated sigh*
I think more clearly at night. In fact, I do my devotions at night. I wish the rest of my body was on the same time track as my mind..lol! But one wants to go one way and the other part wants to sleep in!
It isn't really insomnia, because it is self-induced and thoroughly enjoyed!
Didn't the Proverbs 31 lady stay up late? Did she burn the candle at both ends?
I am here to tell you that burning a candle at both ends only leaves YOU with burnt fingers..

Oh, this is one of my constant "wonders" about the Proverbs 31 wonder-woman. I read this chapter and I think to myself, "Okay, She did have serving girls, but she mustn't have had any toddlers. She must have had boundless amounts of energy. AND she must have stayed up late and risen early to accomplish all that she did." Am I the only one who feels intimidated by this wonder-woman?
Mum-me,
I completely agree! The only solace I can find is that maybe when King Lemuel wrote it, it was the WISH list of his day :) You know that list of the perfect woman...the list that has no basis in REALITY...lol!
And yes, she definitely DID NOT have TODDLERS...
Well, considering I'm up working on the computer every night long past the time everyone else in the house has gone to sleep, I think I can safely call myself a night owl, too. Too bad the world seems to be organized to accommodate the early birds instead!
Just found your blog and enjoyed reading about you and your family! -Julia :-)
