The Botched up Schedule

So for the past several days Ron has had to work second shift which has thrown our whole household into confusion. Usually, we go to bed around 9pm (I know we are so old) and then Ron will wake up at 4:15 am. He’ll do his morning thing and then come and say goodbye to me at 5:20 am. I will then get up and start my morning (grumpily). Charlie, unlike me, is a morning person and loves to wake up at 5:30am. He runs around like a mad man and is just so excited that it is 5:30 am! Charlie also does not believe in sleeping in. If I try to sleep in, he will simply sit next to my bed whining and jumping until I get up!

Now, that Ron has been working second shift we haven’t been going to bed till midnight or later. Unfortunately for us, Charlie’s sleeping schedule has not been thrown off. He still goes to bed at his regular time and still wakes up perky at 5:30 in the morning. AND remember sleeping in is not an option according to Charlie! So, my schedule has completely gone off to the wayside and I find myself falling asleep at all sorts of odd times. Luckily, Ron finished working second shift last night (but he did have to start first shift again this morning….my poor husband). So I am hoping by Wednesday we will all be back on the same sleeping schedule!
