I guess I'm an early riser for better or worse

For quite a while now I've been waking up at about 5:00 am. I've begun to really enjoy it. The house is quiet and I get a sense of peace knowing the children and my husband are all in their beds sleeping. I tried to fight it, just laying there awake and getting mad. Now that I've embraced it I think it's the best kept secrect going. My daughted got up with me last week and we walked out on the property and watched the sun rise. I heard her telling a friend later in the day about it and her friend said "I've never seen the sun come up" my DD said "you should try it, it's great!"
Course ever night at around 9:30 I'm bed bolting.

I've begun doing the same thing in recent years. It is a most peaceful time. Sometimes in the winter though it bothers me to no end because there's too many hours between when I wake up and the sun rises.
