the early bird gets the worm...

so i am NOT a morning person. (surprise to all that know me i'm sure!) having a baby means i have to be a morning person whether i like it or not. the last few months, tony and i have been rotating the getting-up-with-jonah responsibilities. it's not really working. on mornings that i get up at 7am, i will have stayed up entirely too late the night before (we're talking 12:30 or 1am) and inevitably i'll be mrs. crabby pants for the rest of the day. and that's even if i do get a nap in at some point. on mornings that tony has a turn, he'll usually take a morning nap with jonah making it ridiculously hard for him to wake back up and thus we become MR. and MRS. crabby pants. it's a wonderful life, really!
that being said (and lived for way too long) we decided to make a change. i am now the early bird. that means that i can go to bed earlier and get more sleep, but i don't get to see tony (have dinner together, watch a little 'alias', hang out) when he gets home from work at night. it's a win/lose situation really:
more sleep at night for me
+ more sleep in the morning for tony
+ less of mr. and mrs. crabby pants
WIN

less time together by ourselves
+ less time together by ourselves
+ (you guessed it) less time together by ourselves
LOSE

just one more reason that i CANNOT WAIT to get the heck outta this place and have semi-normal jobs and schedules.

what makes it all worth it? our little 'worm'!
