Mom sleeps late, family survives


This is what my bedroom looks like. Right.

Sad but true: I consider sleeping late a major accomplishment. Dave let me sleep in this morning, and I woke up at 11. The kitchen was a holy mess from breakfast, but OK, I couldn't be an ingrate. I got a whole 11 hours of sleep, and felt amazing all day.

Ever get to sleep late?

    It depends on what you consider late. Yours was VERY late. Generally sleeping late means until 8:30, 9:00 if I'm really lucky.

    I have almost forgotten what it is like to get more than 5 hours at once. *sigh* maybe some day...we are working on it. ;)

    Wow! That sounds great, a messy kitchen is a small price to pay for such a luxury! Hope it was nice!

    Every day... Working from home is fun... Unless I need to get to a morning event, I can regularly get up at 11AM... How ever I do stay up to all hours editing photos and such to 2, 3, 4AM.

    That sounds great....at this point I would be so thankful just to sleep all night without waking up at least 15 times.....I probably have not slept longer than 1 hour at a time in a very long time......

    Hey, how did you get a picture of MY bedroom? lol!! I can't remember the last time I slept in...although I did get to take a nap yesterday for the first time in a looong time! I felt very rested and I'm not used to it. Glad you got some sleep!!!

    Whoo hoo. 11 am!!!!

    My parents had Alex overnight the other night and the other two allowed me to sleep until 8am. Zach was working. I considered that a GIFT! Of course, I was still tired through the day...weird.

    Messy kitchen. That works. Sleep is worth a messy kitchen.

    Nope, never. MM is always up at the crack of dawn & DH is the worst for letting me sleep in. I don't think I have slept in except 1 time (and I was very, very sick) in the 5 1/2 years we have had her. I fantasize about sleeping til 8! LOL

    Sleep...what exactly are you speaking of? Not sure what sleep actually is, much less sleeping in!

    You're all invited to my house, where you can sleep in and we'll make Dave make us breakfast. :)

    I love days when the boys sleep in!!! Of course, M-F we all must wake up before the sun- so it's nice to sleep later than the sun atleast once a week!

    Send your decorator my way! haha :)

    I haven't slept late since February of 1993. And now that he has entered the teen years it looks like I won't be going to bed early for a while too.

    Drew and I alternate weekend days whenever possible and sometimes I get an 11am day (especially if it was a rough night!) Isn't it a great gift?

    Hope you are feeling well rested!

    Avery slept in till 8:15 yesterday! It was a miracle. She's NEVER slept 12 hours straight. Ever. It felt so good to sleep in that long...I wish I could do it every day. This morning was brutal... HATE mondays.
