For the past 2 weeks, I have wanted to get up early in the morning to have time to work either on consulting business or housework before the children wake up.  “Wanted” had been the keyword.  I thought about getting up early.  I even set the alarm for 5:00 am a couple of times.  When the alarm would go off in the morning, I would usually talk myself out of getting up early.  Honestly, how hard is it to convince yourself to go back to sleep for another hour and a half rather than getting up to mop the kitchen or work on project plans?!!

So, last night, I decided I was going to get up early no matter what this morning.  I set the alarm for 4:00 am (yes, that is 4:00 in the morning) and I actually did it!  I got up at 4:00 in the morning.  The birds were not even chirpping in our backyard yet.  I got so much accomplished.  I was able to get done in 2 1/2 hours the same amount of work that it would take 5 or 6 hours to do while BusyBoy and GigglyGirl are awake.

I plan to get up early again tomorrow as well.  It is nice to accomplish things before the children, the neighborhood, and even the birds wake up it the morning.
