The mom I am not.

I am a big fan of blogs.

I follow a lot of them and am encouraged by what other mamas have to write.

Their trials and triumphs.

Their stories.

I feel like I can relate to so many of them.

Knowing there are so many others in the EXACT same place as me.

Young and married with babies.

But one thing I am NOT is a morning person.

Another thing I am not is a coffee drinker.

I hate it.

I hate anything that has a hint of the flavor.

I see so many almost all mom's writing about waking up before their babies. 

Enjoying a coffee and some quiet time in the Word.

Part of me longs for that...that quiet time.

That peace and rejuvenation each day.

But then the part of me that says "my bed is so comfy" ALWAYS takes over.

I thought maybe it was just those newborn days and the phase would be short-lived, but here we are at almost a year and every single morning I drag myself out of bed when I hear Reagan in the moniter.

And even then I feel like I could sleep several more hours.

I am not the mom that wakes up at 6:00 and has the house organized and devotions done and breakfast cooked before the rest of the family wakes.

I am not that mom.

I am always tired.

I don't know why.

I still think it has to do with my hormone issues.

And no mama, it is NOT my iron levels! :)

If I could sleep 11 hours a night...I would!

EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT.

I still long for that time though...that time without kids that I can relax and rejuvenate and spend time in the Word.

So what works for you?

Is this just a phase...and someday I will become THAT mom?

Or if you despise mornings too...what routine have you found?
