I try to get beds made, kids to school, washing up and a load of washing on as early as possible. And I am not a morning person. But little "breaks" during the day of rewarding things like cups of tea, blog reading, knitting etc keep me going.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123593037593548003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-63963147048051680422011-05-26T06:57:22.205+10:002011-05-26T06:57:22.205+10:00Mornings for me too and for all the same reasons. ...Mornings for me too and for all the same reasons.

I'm not quite sure what the difference is.

We get up at 5am here ...it is my husbands and my time to connect and talk over coffee while the kids are asleep and the world is still. As I watch the sunrise and his ute drives off, I get busy making lunches, even putting a casserole on for tea that night. Doing everything early means that I connect well with my children when they get up too. <br /><br />*We have started a farmstay blog now, called 'http://thelittleblackcowblog.blogspot.com.<br /> Please feel free to visit our little world .Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958193502828236814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-23835211443732501112011-05-25T13:07:11.339+10:002011-05-25T13:07:11.339+10:00thanks for sharing....much more of a morning perso...thanks for sharing....much more of a morning person, but not so much while pregnant. :)STEPHANIE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14238700249522308899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-4797777381622323182011-05-25T12:06:21.446+10:002011-05-25T12:06:21.446+10:00I'm so amazed by how early a riser you are!
I...I'm so amazed by how early a riser you are!<br /><br />I used to be a night owl, but I'm starting to be more of a morning person. I think I was a night owl before because I couldn't sleep knowing I had work or college assignments to do. So I'd stay up late finishing them. Now, I'm a bit more relaxed (though still a college student), so I find it easier to put healthy sleep habits above getting work done.<br /><br />My husband is a morning person, and that is encouraging me to be one too! When I imagine retiring and having more control over my day to day activities, I'm definitely a morning person. :) There just seems to be something optimistic about waking up bright and early to start the day!Mrs. J @ Road Less Traveledhttp://roadlesstraveled2010.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-86053679189081332662011-05-25T11:18:24.685+10:002011-05-25T11:18:24.685+10:00I'd have the check the morning person box too....I'd have the check the morning person box too. what a lovely post!Dmariehttp://bettermebetterworld.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-65842856637233326422011-05-25T10:50:57.945+10:002011-05-25T10:50:57.945+10:00Definitely a morning person!
