Maybe I should get a paper route
Well, the evil thing happened again and I woke up at 5 am (for no reason except my body is stupid) and could not go back to sleep. Instead I did the dumb stuff where you toss and turn and go to the bathroom and toss some more and then try to think of something productive, but it doesn't work because my praying always turns into worrying at 5 am. So I worried about dumb things, and fretted over stupid things at work, picked all the little nits in my brain, and it still was not 6 am yet. I tried getting out of bed, but I was just too damn cold. I think Satan really does use those worrisome hours for evil, because I don't feel good this morning, I still feel worried and cranky about work things. I wish I could get the praying part of me to work better. Maybe then I could have overcome this and fallen asleep sooner than the alarm going off. Instead I fell asleep (for a few minutes) to the noise of Steve in the shower and got up very much groggier. At the very least it would be nice to find a peaceful part of waking up too early. I guess I can't because the devil makes me love sleep too much. (At least in the morning, its reading that keeps me up at night, but I don't think of that as devil's work. Maybe I should?)

The other morning I was convinced I had slept through my alarm and kept waking up to check it, even though it was half an hour before it was even supposed to go off.
Lately when I wake up too early, or can't move to get up yet, I think of all the good things in my life, or things that I really like. It helps to start the day on a positive note.
I will have to try your wonderful advice more often Elizabeth. It would certainly put a better spin on the day than my grumpiness. Especially since I do have so many blessings in my life.
I guess my day did not get worse, but I can't say it got terrifically better. I think, unfortunately, I sleepwalked through much of it. I do know I was exhausted enough to fall asleep over a crossword puzzle after supper. (But then awake enough to watch a movie till midnight or so...).
I ussally get a relativly good noght's sleep (waking at 2 A.M. and thinking it's time to get up doesn't count). My problem is on Saturday's when I can sleep in, I still get up at 6.
