2. The best days I have are when I get up early enough to get myself physically ready for the day (wash face, contacts in, get dressed), spend some time with God praying and meditating, and decide on my top 4 things that MUST get done – BEFORE my 2nd grader gets up for school. When I do this, I can actually ENJOY the time with him and not spend it rushing him and grumpy. It’s a great start to everyone’s day.
3. Biggeest obstacles: I’m NOT a morning person, I’m a night owl, so I stay up too late, not sleeping well (I suffer from mild insomnia), just plain NOT getting up in the morning, and I don’t have an effective, encouraging accountability system.

The Lord blessed me with my husband and 2 children, being a wife and mother were “what I wanted to be when I grew up”. Somewhere along the way everything has became a chore, when they should be out of love. My obstacles are my hobbies of sleeping/napping and that I so dislike to sweat!

I want to be more intentional about loving my family by spending my time more thoughtfully and wisely.
I have a hard time going to bed and not feeling guilty for not spending time with my husband.

Staying up late is my biggest challenge too. One thing that has helped me is to remember why I want to get up early so that I can use that as a motivation to go to bed earlier too.

I am tired of starting my day feeling frustrated. I’d like to have more order to our entire day!
My biggest problem will be old habits- staying up late and how much I like to sleep!

2. To be better prepared for each day, so I can enjoy it with my family instead of hiding out at home because I didn’t have time to shower or not opening the door for the neighbor because the house is a mess (and so am I).
3. No accountability – my husband is usually at work at 5am, so no one knows how late I sleep. And I loooooove my sleep.

2. I want to be able to have some quiet time at the beginning of the day with my husband, since our evenings are so chaotic with our 5 children and trying to get them settled! I’m also looking forward to having some quiet time.. I want desperately to develop a more intimate relationship with God..read the bible, pray.. pray pray…
3. My biggest obstacle? I am NOT a morning person… I agree with all the ‘I have a warm comfy bed!” people… and I love the snuggles from my little people that I get starting at 6 am!

2: I want to get up earlier to serve my husband by fixing him breakfast before class or work (he is in college full-time and works part-time) and get my daughter up and dressed ready to eat with us instead of staying in our PJs all morning.
3: I work three nights a week, the three mornings I get home from work flow smoothly before our sitter arrives. The rest of the week it is hard to switch around to “day shift” and be present for my family in the mornings.

My name is Amber
I am wanting to get up earlier so I am not rushed in the moring. I have always hated getting up early. I am a last minute person in the morings. I stay in bed until the last possible minute. I want to be able to get up and not rush. I want to sat down and have a cup of coffee and read my Bible. I am really wanting to start some kind of Bible devotation. Then once I have that going, I would really like to start an exercise routine.
My biggest obstacle will be just getting up. I have said before that I was going to start getting up early and I never do. I am hoping that since I have found your site that I will be inspired.
