Is this a sign I'm getting old...

[MALE*RN*777]

Woke up this morning at 6:30am (in bed around 9-10pm) and I'm off today. When I woke up it was one of those feelings like I'm ready to get up and didn't feel tired at all. Usually I have to get up about 5:30am to work 7am-3:30pm and drag. I never sleep good to begin with (toss and turn) but today it was a get up and start the day. The kids are up fed and watching the Saturday Cartoons (7:45am) and the wife is still in bed. Do you all drag in the morning or are you the get up and go type.

I've been up since 7:00. I am definitely the get up and go type. Right now we are about 2 weeks away from our first Disney trip with the kids and I can barely sleep

I like to get everything done in the morning. I'm usually asleep by 9:00p.m.

We are the type that HAVE TO get up and go, but dont want to. However, when we have the chance to sleep in - we get up anyway!

your wife is a lucky girl. My dh would NEVER help out in the am with the kids. I seem to be the one to get up with them for everything. Oh well - it's all part of being a mom.

To answer your question, I too have found that I get up and go alot earlier then I used to. I find that I usually hit a low point in the late afternoon, but quickly find my second wind - to get things done - after the kids go to bed at night.

Have a great and productive day!

Yep it is step in the older direction I will be 40 week after next and I keep getting up at 0630 like I am going to work. Did it this a.m. my Jack Russell is a little alarm clock too. DH and I have noticed that she pesters the **** out of us first thing. Then when we are up she runs back and jumps on DH blanket on top of the bed. If she is in hyper mode--forget laying back down..She was sweet this morning and after giving her a little attention we slept to 8.

You also know you are an old female when your OBGYN is younger than you. It finally happened to me 2 years ago. Also was sitting with some co-workers a while back and one of the 24 yr olds asked "you mean Paul Newman was an actor before making the salad dressing" and then "Oh! you say he was really a good looking guy--I didn't know that". Thank goodness for pics on the internet. Young folks today!!

Toddy lu - I cracked up when I read your remark about the OB/GYN. Mine is younger that me too! I just turned 40 a month ago. That's why I made my husband take me to Disney so I could act like the kid I feel like on the inside!
