My normal day. The oldest (she's 4) gets up at 4:30-4:45ish every day. The middle child has a really hard time sleeping (we've actually had her in the hospital for sleep studies at times) she usually isn't able to calm herself down and get to sleep til about 10:30ish. So Typically I get to bed about 11:30ish and my oldest wakes me up at 4:30 - 4:45ish. edit: the good news is the youngest has learned to love sleep!
I get a little more sleep than you. Not much. My son always comes in around that time to sleep in my bed. I get pushed to the very edge of the matress with a small corner of blanket. I try to sleep a bit longer, but usually get up not long after
Kids are both amazing and exhausting! When my oldest wakes up it's like she wakes up with a sugar high heh, she is definitely a super happy energetic morning person... My wife and I used to take turns getting up with her but since my wife is pregnant again (20 weeks it's half way over!) I've been getting up with the kid so that my wife can sleep for another hour or so before I head to work.
Yes, they are! My son too. He's 6. That kid wakes up ready to go. I wish I had the kind of energy he has. I take turns with my wife. That's damn good of you to let her sleep. I am good with one kid. I don't need anymore.
I wanted maybe 1, wife wanted 4. I didn't expect to get what I wanted heh. If we go for 5 I could field my own basketball team.
We all sincerely feel really, really bad that that is the price you pay when you finally get home off the road...way to take it for the team!
Me too. Three days after making the final double payment on a chevy s10, i fell asleep and totalled it into a tree. Blasted right through a T intersection. One of a couple scariest momemts of my life was waking up and Seeing trees fly by me. Lucky for me too because if not for the tree, i would have continued another 30 ft off about a 50ft cliff right into a mobile home park below... at about 3 am when they are all sound asleep on a weekNight(delivering newspapers when i was 22)
You are now Leslie Freaking Knope! Congrats on the new job and I hope it ends up being awesome for you!
Little fluffy shorebirds. But I have to kayake across bullsharks to get to nesting islands, where I have to avoid alligators and Cottonmouth snakes. Have a site I have to swim across a lagoon to survey the 2nd half. Also have to take a jetski out to several sites. It's not terrible.
When I was about 19 I was working with my Dad and my grandfather on a house my dad was building in Decatur, Alabsama. Every morning the three of us would pile in my dad's pickup and head for work about 30 miles away. One day as we were driving along in a rural area we spotted a snake that was more than half the width of the two lane road in length. My granddad ordered my father to stop the truck. He jumped out and grabbed a hoe we used for mixing cement and chopped off the head of the snake. I believe it was a copperhead. Very poisonous. Lots of Cottonmouths in that part of the country, too.Biggest snake I've ever seen outside of a zoo.
Ask my grandfather. When a grandfather to his son and grandson says something declarative, you don't argue with him. That's the South. You must think we were in an enlightened part of the country. Remember, this was rural Alabama, Trump country.
