Early to Bed, Early to Rise

I know that goals are supposed to be measurable....but this year's resolution really isn't. I just want to learn how to go to bed earlier...a lot of things hinge on that one thing. Someday, I would like to wake up before my kids, and have time to "center" and read a little scripture and sip a little coffee in the mornings. I am a slow-to-wake-up person. If it were up to me, I wouldn't talk for the first hour of the day. In fact, during our first year of marriage, Zach would come up to me in the mornings and ask me if I was mad at him, and I would say "No, i just don't prefer to talk in the mornings." With two little ones, it really isn't an option anymore...that whole not talking bit. I hit the ground running...or at least I try to. A bottle, 2 diapers, Breakfast for the family, clean-up...it's no wonder that I would rather stay under the covers :-) I think it was Benjamin Franklin who once said, "Early to Bed, Early to Rise, makes a man Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise." Here's to a year where I learn to start my days on the right foot. Where I learn to get out of my pajamas and put on a bra, and wash my face, and have time to get my heart in the right place before the craziness begins.
