I'm not a fan of introspection. I don't like falling short and introspection always shines a light on the many areas I flounder. It's no wonder that I've become somewhat of an expert at DENIAL. It's the backbone of my existence...the philosophy I have long subscribed to.
A prime example of this denial is my staunch refusal to accept the fact that my 36 year old body (post 3 children) isn't capable of the same freakishly insane things my 25 year old body was. Early on in life I earned the label of "Night Owl". I like the night life. I like to boogie. And it used to all work out fine. But now? Now I find myself puttering around until past midnight every night and wonder why at 7:30am I'm just a mumbling, tottering, mess of a person.
Some would think I didn't know better. They would be wrong. I know there are consequences...I just don't want there to be consequences. Shouldn't that be enough?

I don't know what you are talking about. I am still completely able to function on 5-6 hours of sleep. And my kids have never seen me lose my patience either. And I ate really healthy today and should see the scale go down tomorrow. Denial is a wonderful thing.
Yup, it's midnight...and I'm reading your blog. I need to go to bed, but why? So, I can function tomorrow? What would be so great about that? This is so much more relaxing...
Can I get an AMEN and a Hallelujah!?
You're so clever...with the title and all. :)
We're so much alike. But I've decided that since I wake up exhausted whether I've had 4 hours of sleep or whether I've had 12, I might as well enjoy the night life.
I have problems with mornings. Why wake up at 6:30 when I can get the essential stuff done and still sleep till 9!
From one night owl to the next, I am in denial as well. I am slowly figuring out that maybe, just maybe, I need to go to bed before one in the morning. However, I get the most done between 9 PM to 1PM. I just have to drag myself out of bed at 7:30 the next morning to get my girls to school by 8:15 AM. Mountain Dew is my best friend!
Early to bed
Early to rise
