early morning ramblings

I've been having hubby wake me up with him the last few mornings... at 5AM.
And I kinda like it :)

I usually like to stay up late (until 2-3AM) working or having my "me" time, and then sleep in until between 8 and 9:30- whenever the kids wake me up.
For a few nights I tried to go to sleep early (like 7-7:30 PM) so I could wake up on my own around 5-6AM.. FAIL. I STILL slept until 9 and I was EXHAUSTED.
So, now I just go to bed with hubby between 10 and 12 and wake up with him at 5, and, while I'm groggy til I have my coffee, I am not exhausted, and manage to make it through the day- and am decently productive. The nights I get more sleep, or sleep in with the kids, I feel like I don't get ANYTHING done. So I think I'm more productive when I wake up early and go to bed at some kind of normal hour. I'm still getting the same amount of hours with the sandman, just at a different time of day. Weird.
Now what to do when he goes back to night shift :/

I just... keep.... LOSING stuff!!! Like right now... where did my hemp fleece go??? arg

One of these days I'm just going to pay someone some insane amount of money to come in and build me some kind of organizational monstrosity so I will stop losing crap. Course, then I'd actually have to put things back where I got them from...... ah... one step at a time ;)
