Night Owl
The last time I probably went to bed early was when I was having jetlag. Hmmm... that was almost 7yrs ago when I finally settled in the States.
Yes, I know I'm a nocturnal momma... It may be hard for others to understand but I function better at night. Aden's not even the reason for me to stay up late since he's been sleeping through the night for some time now.
I have a few good reasons why I don't even force myself to sleep earlier. First, let me repeat that I function better at night. Second, this is the only time I have for myself. During the day I have to do my house chores and motherly duties. Sure, my son takes an hour and a half to sometimes even three hour naps where I could probably squeeze in some things I want to do. But by that time, I would rather lay in bed with him or watch TV or wait for either the laundry or dishwasher to finish its cycle. Third, most of my friends in the Philippines are online because of the time difference. Fourth, I end up calling my mom in the Philippines because I'm 100% sure she's awake and she's always up for a good conversation. And fifth, this is my quiet time. This is how I keep my sanity.
