This morning, I got up early because I knew that Rachel and the guys would be getting going early. I was having breakfast when they arrived! They had been up for ages!! Tomorrow, the alarm will have to be set for an hour earlier --- about 8am. lol. Now if that doesn't work, I might as well stay up all night. ha ha ha
I've always been a night owl. My Mother despaired of me. In our house, it was "early to bed and early to rise, makes you healthy, wealthy and wise ." I used to get chilblains, styes in the eyes and cold sores and you know what caused them???? Going to bed too late. Ask Mum; she'll tell you.
Actually, it wasn't that I went to bed too late; I read under the blankets with a torch for half the night.
By the time I was in Year 10, Mum had started work outside of the house and I had to get up early to cut lunches, help my little brother etc. I once overheard Mum telling a friend, "I'm so proud of her. If she's too sleepy when she gets up, she puts her head under the cold tap to wake up." I'm thankful that I've never been proud of any of my kids for putting their head under a cold tap!!!
We had another lovely swim today and Rachel did laps in the cool pool. I admired her 1 kilometre effort but she told me that she usually aims for 3 kms! We came home to change and then go back to have a BBQ with them but I dropped out. Too pooped. Must have been my early start!
