4 am came early today my friends.
I don't get it.  Why would my body do that to me?
It's been doing this to me all week!
I think it is mad at me for coming back from vacation.  On my vacation I slept really late most days.  Seriously, one morning I slept until like 7:35.  You don't know how big of deal that is for me.  That was a little over 8 hours of sleep.  8 hours is my normal limit.  More than 8 and I don't feel great!!!  Yeah, that was cheesy and not entirely true, but it popped in my head so I typed it.
Since I got back from vacation the latest I slept until was 5:20 yesterday morning.  Most of the week I was up before 5.  After yesterday's "late" rising (no shining) I assumed that my body was getting back into it's sleep routine and that I would soon start sleeping late again.
"Tomorrow is the weekend.  Surely I'll sleep late!" I thought to myself.  However, my body did not concur.
At 4 this morning my body simply woke up.  So I got out of bed and read for an hour and then climbed back in bed desperately wanting to convince my body that it was very much wrong about this 4 am wake up.  However, my body would have nothing to do with it! 
I tried to fall asleep again, but my body would make me roll over to my other side so I could get "comfy." But my body isn't fooling me.  It's not after comfort.  Nope, it just wanted me to roll over and wake up before I could fall back to sleep.
The next time my body told me to roll over, I ignored it and stayed put.  I think I started falling asleep because I thought I was at lunch with my little girl for just a second.  But then my body got me up and sent me to the bathroom.  Touché body!
So, I gave up and I got up.  I fed the dog, made coffee, folded laundry, put another load of laundry into the dryer, opened windows, went outside with the dog and finally at 6:45, I started typing this.
At the rate I'm already going, I just pray that my body wants a good long nap later.  Granted, the dog is thrilled with my body this am!  At least someone is.
