So this is what mornings are like...

I have always been a night owl.  While I'm not as bad as other members of my family who shall remain nameless (hint: the worst one may have blonde hair), I've been known to be a little grumpy upon first waking up and not really wide awake for about an hour.  I figured that would have to change once the baby arrives, but I did not expect it to start changing already.  Instead of the fatigue that is apparently "normal" during early pregnancy, I've found myself waking up earlier and earlier.  I used to doze on weekend mornings, but now I'm completely wide awake with no desire to go back to sleep.  

This weekend, it reached a new level.  Yesterday I got up at 6:30.  Today when I woke up, the clock said 5:12 AM.  Seriously?  I have NEVER been up this early without having to catch a flight (excluding a couple times in college where this time was not early but actually late).  I thought I would surely go back to sleep for another hour or two, but after laying there until 5:45, I figured I may as well get up and start the day.  I read a little, finished a sewing project, prepared Sunday school and my offertory remarks, got ready for church, and still had time to stop at the grocery store and McDonald's before church.  Usually I rush out the door with my hair barely dry and no makeup on in order to get there on time.

I'm sure I will appreciate all of the extra things I'm able to get done at some point, but right now I kind of wish I was still my normal night owl.
