This semester I "chose" to take three classes, all online and two of them electives. Easy stuff right? Wrong! It's only easy if the times you choose to study are there for you, uninterrupted. But I have only two semesters to get my degree and I'm going do this even if it means readjusting my sleep schedule. SLEEP? Ha!
Every morning I get up before the kids so I have time to make some coffee and study. I am my best early and must take advantage of what little brain energy I can get. When I get up the plan is to log on to my classrooms to post assignments, read, respond, work on essays, catch up on reading assignments, etc. However, it seems my time gets crunched or something happens or a kid wakes up earlier then they should and then there goes the day. So last week I decided to go to sleep a little earlier, get up earlier and get some real work done. Here's how it went:
*got up at 4 am- yes, I said Four AM!
*started the coffee pot
*turned on the laptop
*set myself up at the kitchen table
*grabed my hot coffee which I turned into a Cafe con Leche (Latte)
*sat down, logged in and by 4:30 am I was rearring to go
Within 10 minutes of focus and concentration I was dealing with this
He never wakes up this early....NEVER!
....or this cranky...Maybe it's a growth spurt
Apparently, nothing a little food can't fix. So I gave him Sweet Darling Clementines....
and that made him smile (my heart melts for that smile)
throw a banana in the mix and you get...
.... happy little man ready to take on the day, even if he started his day cranky, apparently hungry and very, very early.
I didn't get much work done but I did get lots of love, wet kisses, quality time with baby. He's such a sweetie!
A little patience and a lot of love went into this morning, it all works out in the end.
It's never to early in the morning to get wet baby kisses!
ReplyDeleteYou make me tired, take a gosh darn break already! :)
Mrs. X-- I did have a chance to rest after all. He and I fell asleep together on the couch and it was so sweet and so nice - reminded me of when he was just a tiny infant. They grow so fast :(
