Mornings are really overrated

Today I got up at 10...10!?!? Yes 10:00 am, some of you are snickering at my laziness and others are in a state of shock. I am gradually adapting to being a morning person, since I work at 8:30 in the morning starting tomorrow. So in an effort to help me go to work without falling a sleep at the wheel, the whole house is getting used to going to bed a little earlier and getting up a little earlier. The dog is learning that she can't wake me up to use the yard at 4:00 in the morning.
How fun this will be.
If you couldn't figure it out, I am a long time second/third shifter. Usually if it was a one time appointment, I would just stay awake and sleep when I get home. I was born late at night, in school I couldn't wait til I could graduate so I could sleep, and I used to take night classes when I was in college.
Karl used to tell me I slept til noon because I was lazy, which used to make me laugh. I got to bed at 6 in the morning and wake up at noon, because I am lazy. He goes to bed at 9:00 to wake up at 7:00 because he is Mr. Ambitious. After I told him to do the math it made him shut up, that an the fact I threatened to call him at 3:00 am to see how fast he could get out of bed.
So I am hoping I will learn to adjust to this first and second shift fairly soon. Last night it took me til 4 to fall asleep. (Trying not to use sleep drugs or anything like that.) Today I woke up at 10:00, and it took me about 20 minutes to keep from wanting me to go back to sleep. After an hour of showering, coffees, and walking outside I was able to stop drooling on myself.
Hope you all will say a prayer for me tomorrow, I will need it.
