Oh wouldn’t that be fun. Thanks for the invite and the same for you, if you’re ever in Knoxville. We always have coffee in the house, just for guests.

In many ways it was harder back then, physically harder. I was completely exhausted at the end of each day and I hadn’t accomplished anything beyond the necessities.

Now we accomplish a lot more and I have companionship during the day. There are still challenges, but it’s a different kind of busy.

If God made you a night owl enjoy it. I have a good friend and she gets so much done after her kids are in bed. She cleans the house, paints rooms, and sews all sorts of beautiful things.

Of course there is balance in everything, but I think that people are just wired differently.

If you really think you need to change. Set a bed time and stick with it, even if you don’t fall asleep go get in bed and read or relax. Then get up at the same time each morning. Your body will eventually adjust.

I just read your interview at the Homemaking Cottage…beautiful testimony! I loved reading about your mom and how she has survived cancer. What a testimony!!

I’m new to your blog and I LOOOVE it. So while I’ve poked around through your archives just a bit, I may have missed these things:

- Back up in your memory just a bit. Way back to when you had a few little ones and no big ones. Was it harder to handle back then? Right now I have a 1-year-old and that’s it, and I’m nervous about more kids, though I do want them.

- Any advice for turning a night owl (me) into a morning glory?
