My New Bedtime is 8:30

On Tuesday nights we go to bed early at our house.  At 8:00 we are in bed, ready to read a couple books, pray and have some chat time.  Lights out are are 8:30 (rather than 9:00) because Wednesdays are big days.  Zoe has school, ice skating, ballet and AWANA.  Without that extra sleep, we're in nuclear meltdown between ice skating and ballet.  Forget about AWANA.

Last night I decided to do the same thing.  I don't think I really moved last night.  This morning at 4:45 I was wide awake.

I spent some time waking up and then I couldn't lay there anymore.  You would not believe what you can get done by the time you have to leave at 6:30!

I finished Zoe's 5 year old photobook.  It's ready to order!

I got everything ready that I would need for AWANA tonight and for our leader's meeting.

I got ready for work and did some laundry.

I made some coffee and packed myself a lunch.

Really, my normal morning is rush to get ready, rush to find something to take for lunch, rush to find something to wear, rush, rush, rush.

This morning - mental clarity and quiet time.  Hello new bedtime!
