...........WHY!! I don't know why. I just don't want to go to bed. I always sleep well but all I know is that if I go to bed then that means morning will be here and I will have to start all over again. Oh well--I will stop feeling sorry for myself and go take a blistering hot shower and go to bed..Good night all. MB
Hi Jenny. I have always stayed up too. When my kids were little that was the time I got my work done. Specially sewing. It's a wonder I never woke them up. I sleep well though, I guess I don't need a lot of sleep. You take it easy now. MB
I used to stay up all night to have "my time". Then I was challenged while doing a bible study "God's Heart A Woman's Dwelling Place" by Beth Moore. The challenge was to give all your time to God and let Him organize your day so you'd have time to spend with Him. I had no IDEA the power of that prayer. In only two days I was in bed earlier (9 PM) up by 6 AM (no alarm). I was amazed how wonderful I felt. Where I was always wishing there were just a few more hours in the day, now I had hours to spare while raising 2 little boys. I had time to smell the roses. Smiles, Melody June
God's gift to you are your talents, your gift to Him is how you use them.
No matter what time I go to bed I am always up by 5:30--no alarm either. If I would go to bed at 9 I would be wide awake at 2 or 3. I was a stay at home mom and since we lived 'way out' i was my kids play mate. Like Aunt Jenny- I was always there for my kids and horses and goats and raised calves and gardens, etc. LOL MB
Marybeth, In no way was my responce implying that you were not there for your kids. I was responding only to what was going on in my life and changes I went through. I to was a stay at home mom. I am so sorry if you thought I was in some way saying you were not doing something correctly. That was not my intent. Smiles, Melody June

I love the night! I do work second shift so i don't get off of work until 11. Have you ever done your grocery shopping at an 24 hour grocery store at 2 am? NO carts to fight with! Also, hardly no traffic on the way home!
I have gone grocery shopping late late at night many times when we lived in Calif and there WERE 24 hours stores..haha. Even the Walmart that is 7 miles from us closes at midnight...in our little town the grocery store closes at 8pm even in Summertime. When I was waitressing years ago (13 now!) I would shop after my shift sometimes..I got off at 11:30pm when I worked nights. I worked half closing shifts and half opening shifts.
Who else is up after midnight and.................
