Pad Patter: 9/2 - Early Riser

Weekdays I'm up around 6:30-7:00 but on wkends I try to sleep in til 8:00ish. If I had my way, I'd sleep til 8:00 every morning b/c I stay up too late and then never get enough sleep. My old retriever often wakes me up around 3:00 to go out for a bathroom break and then I often wake up a couple of times so my sleep pattern is never more than a few hours.

I'd have to put a doggie door in at that point. I can never fall back asleep if I wake up fully. I can barely fall back asleep if I have to use the bathroom myself.
 
Ick. Mornings are not my favorite. I get up around 6:30 on the weekdays to get myself ready for work and get the kids ready to get to school (bus comes at 7:28).

On the weekends I sleep until 9 if possible.
 
I am not a morning person. I have to be at work around 10 and live an hour away. Sometimes I get up at 7 - sometimes earlier if my dog wakes me up. But on days when I'm cranky, I have my morning routine down to a half hour so I can sleep until 8:30 and still leave around 9. I'd be much happier sleeping until 10 or 11. I worked at night for maybe 10 years and while I don't miss those hours, I do miss sleeping in!
 
i get up with the kids around 6:30 on school days. the weekend wake-up time depends on what's going on. if nothing's going on that we have to be up for, then it depends on how tired i am. i could get myself up anywhere between 7:00 and 9:00 on a weekend. i like my sleep.
 
I am not a morning person. At all. I get up with the kids at 6:45 or so, but if it wasn't for school, I would sleep until 8 or 9. Thankfully, my kids will sleep in during the summer.
 
If I had my choice, it would be 8:30...but I get up when Derek comes in the bedroom and climbs in bed with me, which is anytime after 6:00. The other day he came in at 3:00 am and crawled in bed with us, but DID go back to sleep.

Now that school is back in session, I try to roll out of bed and shower before the other two boys wake up so I don't look like a total bum when I walk them to school. That is usually around 6:30. I am babysitting a few days a week now so I have to be up and at 'em a bit earlier on those days.
 
I hate early mornings, and luckily so do my kids!! Haha although this year the eldest started full time school and the middle one starts mornings so we are up at 7.30am during the week but we got a lay in till 9am this morning :D
