New Year’s Resolution
It is only January 4, 2010 and already I have broken my one and only New Year’s Resolution. My resolution was………..now don’t get to excited, but again this is important to me. It was to go to bed before 11 PM (or at least 11:30). I have been going to bed too late and exhausted all the time. With 2 kids, I never get a full night sleep. Someone is always getting up in the middle of the night and coming into our bed. After about 2 AM every bed in our house becomes a free-for-all. For example, last night I went to bed after midnight, our son woke up at 2 AM and came into our bed and had to sleep on my pillow and then our daughter came in at 6 AM and I have to get out of bed at 7 AM so I probably got a totally of 4-5 hours sleep. That is just not enough for Roxy! I need a good 7 to 8 hours.
Many of you may be amazed that going to bed early is my only New Year’s Resolution for 2010. But I really don’t want or need to change anything else (well maybe C would say I am less bitchy while I’m PMS). C and I are on the best path of our lives and we are only going to continue to love, laugh and have fun together. Work is great, I’m finally going to be done my Masters Degree in April, our kids are great. What else is there……except for going to bed early.
So you all must be asking why don’t you just go to bed early. What are you doing that keeps you up until midnight? Well, there is no quick answer, it can be the result of many activities. The list starts with emails, which I find takes a while to respond to. C and I try to read our “lifestyle” emails together and decide together who we want to meet and who we are going to politely brush off. We find it is a lot more fun doing it together. We talk about how hot the couples are (or not hot), who we would want to meet them and fuck or would we would not be interested in touching with a ten foot pole (LOL).
Next is the dreaded Facebook. C and I have developed a small group of lifestyle friends (we have not blogged too much about them but we are doing dinner with one of them this weekend so you will start to hear more about them). Anyways, there are about 4 couples who are all friends and they all like to correspond through Facebook, so again another thing I have to look at night. It is not just the communication to make the plans but the research as to where we should go. You never want to suggest the wrong place for a date!
There is also Blogging. I love blogging and it does not always take long to write my posts but for some reason it always takes me at least 15 minutes to find a picture for my post.
Then there is sex with C…..this one is the most fun and does usually keep C and I up past the 11 PM curfew.
And I still need to make our cup of tea (or hot chocolate), watch some TV (tonight’s selection was the new Bachelor – although I was on the phone all night so I really did not see the girls), read my book…so that puts me at a bedtime of midnight!
Rereading this I feel like it may sound I’m complaining about all the things I do at night but really I love doing it ALL, it’s just that I have to learn to stop at a certain time. Like right now I want to finish this blog and it is already 11 PM.
I am going to get back on track tomorrow. I swear I am going to be in bed by 11 pm – TOMORROW!
