3:30am is the new 6:30am

I know, your jealous that you didn’t get the memo on this one.
3:30am is the new 6:30am. You may be asking; “What do you mean?” Well, since we have returned from our lovely family sojourn to Germany, the girls have not really returned to “normal” sleeping habits. At least normal as I hope it to be.
We thought they were with the program. You know, “Don’t get up before 6:30am girls. I don’t care if you don’t know how to tell time yet. Do NOT get up before 6:30am!”
Yeah right, try telling that to a 2 1/2 year old.
“Okay Daddy, no problem. Even though you know I don’t know how to tell time, I will stay in bed and sit quietly in the dark.”
“Oh, and if you do wake up, stay in your room and quietly play or something. But whatever you do, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT wake up Mommy and Daddy.”
um…..
Well that didn’t work. Instead, 3:30am rolls around and Farty Pants Twin #1 is screaming at the top of her lungs. “Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, DADDY!?”
WTF?
So instead of fighting it, we figured we would welcome the few extra hours of productive awake time and get some things done around the house. Mowing the lawns, a little construction, some painting. You know, a few quiet projects while our neighbors sleep.
So get with the program people. If 40 is the new 30 then 3:30am is the new 6:30am. Get off your lazy asses and get the day started. Be productive, add to our gross national product. Come on, we are at war! We need the money. Didn’t you see the latest budget request for war funding?
by the way, our daughter is waiting for you.

If half that money were allocated to margaritas, I might drag my ass out of bed. Oh, wait. Margaritas are what keep me up until 3:30 …
