Morning Person vs. Night Owl

I have always, ALWAYS been a night owl. It would not have been surprising during the summer months or breaks from school for me to be heading to bed as Mommacita was getting up (you also need to understand that she wakes up anywhere between 2:30am and 5am consistently).
**
While in college, I've been forced to become more of a morning person. If I take a shower in the morning, I try to get up at least 2 hours before I need to head out the door. Yes, I realize that's a ridiculous amount of time, but it allows me to take my time getting ready and relax while eating my breakfast, etc.
**
I don't do that anymore. I took a shower last night, got out of bed this morning at 7:10 and was out the door at 7:45.
35 minutes - not bad if I do say so myself.
**
I never thought working 8-5 would be so exhausting... but I can barely function when I get off work. I feel like such a boring person, but I soak up my weekends for all they are worth -- and this upcoming one is a 3 day weekend!! Hooray!!
**
I've had a hard time adjusting to this big girl world - a harder time than I have told most people - the only ones that really know are the ones that have seen me break down in tears. Well, I guess you know now too.
**
I've decided that today is going to be different - I'm going to be positive, smile more, drink more ddp (if it helps me stay perkier), and enjoy the night out with the boy for the Carol Hefner for State Senate watch party! GO CAROL!!
**
My role model for this new attitude on life is my sweet BLC who always makes me smile (and a bit envious) with her tweets about her jam-packed social calendar and all the love in her life!
**
I'm a very blessed girl and it's time I start acting like it!
Here we go! xoxo, E
