Morning Person

Happy Monday, everyone!

My weekend have been busy: exams, ballet, dentist, church. We were really tired last Saturday and all we wanted to do yesterday was sleep. I baked a mango loaf when I cannot sleep anymore. I thought it was a failure, but turned out that the center became a mango filling. I will post it in my food blog soon.

I think I am becoming a morning person. Blame Alex’s school. They transferred us to a morning schedule first because of the exams, second for the practices for their celebration of learning. I kind of hate it because it disrupts Maxyn’s routine as she also gets up when we do. The good part is that all of us get to catch the morning sunshine. But I am becoming indebted to my sleep bank. I think this means I should sleep a lot earlier at night and not when it is morning already. Oh well. Got to get used to this schedule.

Just two more weeks and it is vacation! Weepee!
