Welcome to Aloha Friday! 

If you want to play along visit An Island Life!

Two weeks ago I asked what time you go to bed (and there are a ton of night-owls out there).

So, my question this week:

What time to you usually get up in the morning? 

My alarm is set for 5:10 am.  I get up to read blogs and exercise before my children get up (and before my husband leaves for work).  My alarm rarely goes off.  Most days I usually wake up around 4:45. 

On the weekends I “sleep in” until sometime between 6 and 7!

WOW! EARLY BIRD! My alarm goes off at 720 am. I dont usually get out of bed until almost 740 to get the girls up. Then I get back in my bed until my son gets up or until I have to bring them to school. Their school day starts at 850. If I didnt have to get out of bed, I wouldnt! LOL! I am usually out of bed before 8 for the day though. weekends and weekdays.

Before I was pregnant I got up at 6 or so-and hour or more before my son so I could have some "me time". BUT since I've been pregnant I usually sleep til 7-8 when he does.

I am up between 430-5 AM. Haven't set an alarm in years.. with exception of early airline flight days. Larry up at 2:30 AM. He does not set alarm either.

Sleeping in for me is 6-7. I enjoy my early morning time. I check email, drink a cup of coffee, and just relax.

I just about fell off my chair laughing about Mickey being scared. Hmmmm... wonder where she learned that?

I have the cutest grandkids ever!

On work days I'm up at 5. I always used to wake up before my alarm, but not so much lately because I've been so tired! If I don't work then usually I'm up around 6 (earlier if Jacob wakes me up!!)

Savannah gets me up at 6am usually and if not I would get up at 6:30am for work. But no matter what day I get to live by that schedule since Savi is always hungry around that time:) What is sleeping in? :)

aghh! that is sooo early LOL since i am not a mom, i do not get up early. i have to be at work at 8:30, so that usually means my alarm goes off at 7:30 and i snooze until about 8:00, it's always a mad dash each morning, but i just can't seem to get up earlier...

weekends are a definite sleep in, probably until 10:00 or 10:30 (unless there is a big sale, then i am up at 8:00!)

Summer is here & school is out. I thought I'd be sleeping in until 8 - 8:30 but nope, the kids are up around 7. Why they couldn't do this during the school year I have no idea. Anyway, I'm now up around 7:30 to help w/ summer homework. We're doing school books all summer to help the kids.

It depends on what day of the week since I work at two different schools with different start times--on Monday and Tuesday I wake up at 6:30 (let me clarify--I have my alarm set for 6:30, but my son usually wakes me up at 6), and Wed/Thurs at 5:30.

During the week I my alarm goes off around 5 but I often don't get up until about 5:30 or so. I am trying to get up now though right when it goes off to work out. On the weekends, I sometimes sleep in or I get up around 6:30 to try to get some alone time before the girls get up.

It's my son's summer vacation so I've been sleeping late and waking up late as well. He will be back to school on the second week of June so I will have to start waking up at 4:30 a.m. again.

Visiting from SITS. I go to bed between 10 and 11 every night. During the school year I'm up by 6:40 to get the girls out the door. I am a serious non-morning person, but in the past few years I don't seem to be able sleep past 7:30 or 8 am. Used to be I could sleep to 9:30 or 10. As my grandmother used to say "I guess it's old age creepin' up"!

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
