- At least you don't have to get up at five thirty like I do. Did you know it's still dark out at 5:30?
- When you have a baby you'll be up at 1:30, 3:30, 5:30 and there will be no more wimsy striking anyone!
Yes, I don't have to get up at 5:30. I don't even have to get up at 6:30. It's part of the reason why I haven't been able to re-commit to going to the gym first thing in the morning. I hate being up early.
And yes, having a baby will mean little or no sleep. But with a baby you know it's only for a period of time. They will grow to reach a stage (hopefully) when they sleep through the night. The end will eventually come. It may not always be "in sight" but I'll know that it's out there. Some where. Some time.
With "the full time" there is no end in sight and considering my RRSP is pretty much non-existant, who knows when I'll be able to retire and sleep in again. Probably not until I'm so old that 6:30 will be my body's natural time to wake up on its' own!!

i can totally relate! the BEST part about being a SAHM is the freedom of time. yes, there were times that i was up in the middle of the night, but then there were times that g. didn't wake up until 11 am. getting to have CHOICE in your day and activities is really hard to give up. i never realized how nice it was until i had g. up until then, i had always worked full-time. boy, i was missing out!
Oh Chicken...I'm no mom (yet), but I work with the beasts, and ask any one of them (under 14yrs) when they get up...and it is WELL before 7 am!! School starts at 8 darlin'. And kids don't "get" the concept of week-end sleeping in. Enjoy those precious week-end sleeps whilst you can my lovely.
