I knew that Eva starting school in the morning was going to shake my world a little. I was going to embrace it. I even signed up for an early morning circuit class. I had this fantastic image of me being all exercised and ready when my kids got up.
Let's just say, it's not working out so well. I get up. The only thing I feel is sleepy. I get Eva up. The only thing she feels is sleepy. I pull her clothes on her in her complete floppy sleepiness.
Oh, and the circuit thing? My body is just not programmed to function that early. I feel nauseous, I feel sleepy, I feel cold, and well, mostly just sleepy. I even tried breakfast because the happy skinny perky healthy circuit lady said to. Second week of circuit, while doing crunches on that giant bouncy ball/ torturing myself, someone mentions that their friend doesn't feel well and that she feels like she is doing to throw up. At the mention of the word, yep, I booked it to the bathroom and lost the whole banana. Sorry for the TMI, but I am figuring if you are reading my blog, you are probably a mom, or are my friend, or something else that makes you strong enough to handle it.
In conclusion, whenever I think about my extreme un-fondness for mornings, it reminds me of the Garfield cartoons that I used to read as a kid.
Oh, and blog? Well that is a late night thing for me. And when I am trying to be a morning person, that means I get sleepy at night. And if by chance I can stay up, thanks to a fabulous mid afternoon nap or something like that, I have to do boring things like laundry. Blog in the morning Well, my mind doesn't function in the morning. Not even enough to do laundry. And I would just write about how I wish I was asleep or something like that.
Still figuring things out...

I am so with you. I always have grand plans for the mornings, but truth is I am pretty much useless until after lunch. I just walk around like a zombie. I am so impressed that you did two weeks of a circuit class in the morning without throwing up. I would throw up anytime of the day, those clases are so hard. I love night time and mid afternoon, the rest is all filler.
I'm not a morning person either, and just thinking about exercising really early in the morning makes me nauseous...I'm glad I'm not alone. :)
A and Men!!! Let me know if you figure it out. I'm nearly 5 years into it, and I still suck. Guess when I decided when my pocket of time to do my "Saturday is a Special Day" cleaning? Between the hours of midnight and 7 am ...today. (my house needed some special attention). I'm still a night owl.
I just took Jessi to school this morning while still in my pajamas. I always have grand plans for the mornings, but those plans are always made at night. If I made plans in the morning, there wouldn't be any, because I'm not a morning person at all. I know exactly how you feel.
I think it is in the hard wiring of a person. I woke up at 6:30 (sometimes a little earlier) for a year and a half. I still reverted back to my I-get-my-second-wind-at-night self.
i fully feel for you. i could have written this exact same thing. always have such grand plans for turning into a morning person, never works out.
and i've totally barfed up a banana after a morning workout before and so i feel for you there too.
I too hate mornings! With Evie being in first grade this year... I knew we were all going to have to adjust. And the exercise thing in the morning... Yeah, forget that. It makes me tired just thinking about it.
Here I am reading your blog about mornings in the early morning :-). If it makes you feel any better, I like to get up early, but, I completely crash at night. Let me restate that, I don't actually 'like' to get up early, but, I am somehow able to drag my sleepy self out of bed and then I'm up and at 'em about 30-minutes later. But, even on my very best of days, I crash hard by 10 p.m. Lately, I'm happy if I can function until 7 p.m. Sometimes only until 4 or 5. It makes me feel old and pathetic. I guess you can only have one or the other. I don't get people who are happy with 4 hours of sleep at all!
