the conflict of weekends

I literally can't remember the last time I slept past 10 AM!

Part of it is that the baby wakes me, but even on the days my husband gets up with her, I'm usually up about 9 or 9:30 at the very latest. And then I feel like I've missed half the day, lol.

well yep, I can understand if there's a baby. If I'm doing nothing on a Saturday I'm rarely out of bed before 2pm usually cos I was up til about 5 or 6 am though. I'm a total night owl.

I rarely sleep past 8am on the weekends, mainly because of my dogs. They were with "dad" last night and I was still up at 7:30 today. My body clock just wakes me up.

well yep, I have that problem sometimes... also it's not just the body clock, it's all the fucking alarm clocks. I often forget to turn them off at the weekends. So Saturday morning, I woke up at 6.20, 6.30 and 6.40am to MY alarm clocks... then my housemates two alarm clocks went off about 8am (but he was still out from the night before so I had to get up and go into his room to turn them off) and THEN my other housemates alarm went off at about 10am for maybe an hour and a half every few minutes :eek : . So even though I may not get UP til 2, 3, 4 whatever, I'm actually usually awake from quite early and find some crap film to watch or repeats of the soaps or whatever. If I've nothing planned... what's the difference in staying in bed watching tv and actually getting up and lying on the couch watching tv?

I'm the same way, but it's more like 6-6:30. It's cool though. I seem to get lots more done in a day now.

until I was about 25 I always got up at a reasonable hour on weekends (and I always popped out of bed as soon as my alarm went off on week days). then something happened to me and now stay in my bed as long as physically possible. not sleeping all the time mind you. in fact I enjoy NOT sleeping my bed so that I can experience the feeling of just lying there and comfy sheets and stuff. It has been a very strange metamorphosis.

i have no *conflict*...guilt is a wasted emotion. sure, the doghair dust bunnies may pile up at times, but i simply don't care. i like to enjoy my life, enjoy my time off...so unless there is something TRULY pressing which i MUST get done, and honestly...that doesn't happen all that much in my personal life, i do as i please with my free time. sure, laundry has to get done, but much of all *else* can wait until i feel like getting around to it. i cannot imagine living my life worrying about so much, how i am perceived or not, and feeling so much guilt for how i choose to live, the choices i make, etc...sounds exhausting. so hell yea...i did do laudry and ran/emptied the dishwasher, VERY minimal errands on saturday...and then fuck-all the rest of the weekend, enjoyed my time, luxuriated in sleeping late, being home...and sure, the doghair is still there.
