Me Time

I have been having the hardest time getting back into the swing of things with school starting. I love getting up early to start the day and being able to check email and Facebook before the boys get up. I feel like I have to "encourage" my kids all morning to get them going, but I think that is probably all Moms in the morning. I take the boys to school, wait for them to be taken to class, talk to the other Moms and head out for my walk. I park on Friant and Copper and walk about 4 miles. I have downloaded a pedometer on my phone so I can time myself and make sure I am getting a good workout. So, I have been encouraged by my workout routine since the boys are in school. I have a long way to go, but you have to start somewhere, right?
The only hard thing about this whole change has been going to bed and being able to sleep. I can't sleep! I get the boys in bed around 8:30 and I hit the sack also. Only problem is I can't do anything but lay there. At 11:30, I finally start feeling tired. This has got to stop. I need to get sleep in order to be friendly! So, my body isn't getting the sleep it needs, especially since my workout routine is kind of shocking my body. Not a good combination. I will see if I am able to adjust to the earlier bedtime, otherwise I have to weigh out other options.
So I am enjoying the extra time to myself and the things I am able to do since I have more "me" time. I just have to complete the adjustment and keep moving towards my goals.
