The Luxury Of A Lie In

Hi wolfie, Good to see you back!
Since my husband was forced to retire, I was getting used to staying up late, and getting up late (9:00 am late for me) but now since his dr. put him on this diabetic diet (see my discussion -life changes) I have a shedule. And it's rare I get to sleep late. He makes his own breakfast sometimes and lets me sleep, but I wake up panicked, thinking I forgot his breakfast.
I really love to sleep in....

Aren't lie ins wonderful - why would you ever feel guilty? lol Even if nothing to do the kids usually put an end to any lie-ins unfortunately and if they didn't then my Gran would as she comes over most mornings! Wantg the good news? Next week the kids are going to my sisters for a week and since my other half is on back shift my Gran won't come over til afternoon so I can have a long lie every day! Yippppeeeee Hugs to you my darling brother! xxx

Unfortunately, because of my 3 children, a lie in does not happen often for me. I'm lucky if I can get one every 2 weeks. My husband leaves for work at 8am, so I need to be up to make sure the kids don't destroy the house. He only has Fridays off, so that doesn't' leave us with a lot of time to do all the errands. We usually have to get up early in the morning to be sure we're able to get everything we need to get done, then do something fun as a family. If we're not especially busy on a Friday, my husband will let me sleep in. He knows I LOVE to sleep, so he does what he can to let me. LOL.:o)

Oh we have one every weekend - usually two - Saturday and Sunday!!! I never feel guilty about it. I get up at 5.30am every weekday for work, and both my "better half" and I work damned hard in stressful jobs. So as far as we are both concerned - the lie in is sacred! Of course the cats sometimes demand feeding early in the morning, but I am quite capable of going dowstairs, chopping up their food, and then going back to bed again! Nothing gets between me and my favourite hobby of doing nothing!!

I wish. I haven't been able to lie in for a long long long time. Even when I go to visit my boyfriend and when we should be able to sleep in we are always getting up for something.
Sometimes I just really want to go to a hotel room by myself and do nothing but sleep and read and take a big bath and sleep and read and watch TV although I don't really watch much tv lol.... It sounds like HEAVEN

sadly, i only have that opportunity on saturday monrings...i work from 9-1 every day and i have kids to get ready for school during the school year and on sundays, we go to church. however, that being said, i do catch a nap in the afternoon if the day warrents it as i generally dont sleep well most nights.

The summer time when the kids are out of school is when I can sleep in.:)
But for some reason...they still bother me. ha ha
They have to come to me asking what they can have for breakfast.
Hmmm...if Mommy is not out of bed...the only safe thing you can have is cereal or Pop Tarts.
And then if we are out of milk...I guess I don't have an option and have to get up and make pancakes and eggs.

Its great being able to sleep in. I only get the chance to do that when I am on holidays. When your at work you have to wake up early which is awful especially in winter. When you take the occassional day off sick its also good to be able to sleep in but you cant really enjoy it because your ill.

I work for myself,and I seldom get out of bed before midday.
I organise all work for afternoons,and any where else we have to go to.This allows me to stay up as late as I want,and chat to all the nice people online.Staying in bed and having a long lie is great,

Those kind of days don't happen near enough for me. The last few weekends have been hectic with getting up early. Usually if I do get to sleep in, the phone will ring and wake me up. Can't ever go back to sleep after that either. Or, I wake up at regular work time...6 am and totally refreshed. It sucks!

I don't feel guilty at all because I figure I deserve a good rest every now and then. I get up at 6 am during the week for work and I'm usually dragging by the time Friday evening comes back around. We need longer weekends!!
