I sometimes wonder about how I spend my spare time. I am not the most disciplined person, and I think my life suffers because of it. I complain about not having time for all the things in my life, yet I don’t use my time wisely. Drew and I have talked about taking time management classes, and I am beginning to think more and more that this is a good idea. And you know I have to take the obvious joke… if we could only find the time for the classes.

I am blessed with a job where I don’t have to show up until 10:30 most days. After opening most mornings at a coffee shop for a year and a half, sleeping in a bit has been bliss. Getting up at 5 a.m. wasn’t so fun. Now I drag myself out of bed at 8, stumble around the kitchen for some breakfast, do my yoga, and sip my coffee, usually while on Facebook.

Sure, it sounds blissful. And some mornings, it truly is. But then I come home after work and look around my house at all that needs to be cleaned, boxes that need to be unpacked, and I stare at my guitar that should be practiced and wonder when I’ll have the energy for it. I wish I could channel my energy and use it and my time effectively in the morning so I could come home to a more relaxing atmosphere. I’ve had a hard time doing it. Trying to get myself up earlier has been ridiculously difficult. My sleep schedule feels all wacked lately. I never thought getting myself out of bed before 8 a.m. would be so hard. I feel like a lazy, good for nothing bum.

And of course, I feel like with all the spare morning time,  I should be having great, inspiring devotional time. I rarely even crack my Bible in the morning, I’m ashamed to say. I know I just need to DO it. I think I need some accountability.

So with all that said, I feel like I’ve wasted my morning yet again. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself. I have had some trouble sleeping the past week due to various reasons, and I’m just starting to get myself back into better sleep. As a result, I’m dragging and feeling really tired while my body gets back to normal. I know my body needs down time, and perhaps lounging in the morning is the best thing for me.

After yoga and breakfast, I took some time to catch up on some blogs I read. There was only one new post, so I started reading old posts on our blog. Drew imported some of his Myspace blogs from years ago, and I hadn’t read most of them. So I spent about 20 minutes reading them. Not a total waste of time, and I enjoyed getting more insight into my then single husband. I especially got a chuckle out of him using the word “cutie-pie” to refer to some cute girl that he might meet. I love you babe.

So anyway, I’m still sitting here on my couch, not having accomplished much this morning, and my boss having texted me and telling me I don’t have to be in until 11. So, more time wasting, here I come… I suppose I should actually try to accomplish something. Like get dressed.
