the price of love
today: 1 hour sleepthe concept:
It takes some time to learn certain things about your spouse. That is particularly why the first few years of a marriage are claimed to be difficult. It is hard learning the way someone else does things, having them learn your ways, and finding a way to adjust and mesh your lives. I think it is something that will always take work (and patience!)
the issue:
Evrhet is not the most consistent sleeper I've ever met. He is perfectly fine snoozing his alarm, and if he's tired he has no issue changing plans to skip something, or just "leave later". Typically it takes the girl longer to get ready than the boy. This causes an issue when he changes plans AFTER I am already awake and getting ready, right?
example:
Ev has class at 8am, we need to leave by 7:50. I wake up at 7am. At 7:20 after I have showered and am into my morning routine, Ev presses snooze. At 7:30 his alarm goes off and he turns it off. When I ask why, he said he is not going to class anymore. (I now have no reason to have gotten up at 7, awesome.)
Over time I have learned that it is better if I take less time getting ready and wait til he is certain that we are getting up. I have also learned about going back to sleep after showering/hair/makeup :]
today:
Every day this week Ev has woken up at 6am, we leave for the gym at 6:45, and then I drop him at BART after the gym. This morning I had a few things to do so I figured I'd get up at 6 with him, do my stuff and then be ready by 6:45 easy. Well it's 7:02 and he is still sleeping. At 6:40 I woke him (his alarm had gone off 7 times already :]) and he said no gym today...
It's a good thing I love him very much.
So since I was up and already finished my work, I decided to send some love to the blogosphere. Have a good weekend!
I'm proud of you for going to the gym so early. You'll have to bring your walking/running shoes to Omaha.
