Waking up in the morning

Published by ceitagh at 9:19 am under Less than perfect Wife Edit This

As if I didn’t already have enough good reasons to wake up in the morning (getting a good start on the day, having some quiet before the kids wake up, having time to blog and read), this morning I found another, more pressing reason staring me in the face:

Helping my husband get up and get a good start on the day - and get to work on time!

My dear husband is not the best sleeper in the world. Even when he gets a full nights sleep he is not a morning person. Difficulty winding down and getting to bed on time renders him almost impossible to wake. Yet he has a job that requires him (at least this month) to be on the road at 5:45 AM.

I need to get on a schedule, stop staying up too late, and start waking up in the morning. If I can get up at 5 AM every day, I could make lunch for dh, get his coffee, see him off, and have my precious early morning time before the kids are up.

Any ideas on how to make this happen?

    no advices on that part…total fail…
    I’m a very morning person, and I share your desire to help DH waking up bright and early to go to work… So I recently found out that my attempts to wake him up are bothering him… :( I was super sad… But he said tha the like sit… than I was confused.
    He means he likes when I prepare special breakfast, or rub his back in the morning, but he wishes he could sleep more and he is just plain grumpy in the mornings..
    So I guess there is nothing to help. Sometimes you just have to accept the facts…

    As for me I decided to remain a happy morning person, but I’ll go sing in the kitchen, and I’ll bring my seldom pancakes and brioches to the sisters where I got for mass at 8am… :)
