As the
darkness gets longer and the days grow cooler, I often find myself snuggled
into bed. When the alarm rings and I stick a toe out to test the air, I tend to
snatch it back quickly shivering slightly since the air is colder than my warm
toasty covers. So I can very well relate to the picture above and allow the blanket police to keep me behind blanket bars as long as they would like.
I love
Fall and the nice cooler days and evenings. Especially here in Texas where it
tends to be much warmer and humid for most of the year even during what we call
the winter months. I tend to be a night owl and find myself struggling to get
up in the morning even when I do get enough sleep. However, add coolness in the
air with nice warm snuggly blankets, trying to get out of bed in the morning
becomes exponentially harder.
When the
temperature falls to in the 40’s and lower consistently, since I tend to be up
first, I will run to the thermostat and crank up the heat for when the kids get
up to dress. Then I will dash into the bathroom and turn on the small heater in
there and hop into a hot shower. This keeps the teeth chattering to a minimum
until I can toss on a sweater and other warm clothes for the day if it is going
to be cool the entire day. This tends to be the other problem in Texas. You can start at 30
degrees in the morning, then it could be 80 in the afternoon so if you dress
for 30 you are going to be melting in
the afternoon.
Do you
have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning? What do you incorporate in
your morning routine to make getting up and getting moving easier?
