sewcrafty, I know exactly what you mean. The older I have gotten the later in the am I get up. I was really having trouble waking up to go to work during the week, but could not seem to sleep past 7 am on the weekends. We got a dog, our Lucy now wakes me up every morning between 6 and 6:30 am but I still cannot sleep in on the weekends. But, I sure do like the alone time in the morning. Just me and Lucy down in the sewing/quilting room until DH gets up.
