Do you still get up early or sleep in on your day off?

Unless I have an appointment and HAVE to be up early on the weekend, I prefer to sleep in when I can. I'm not a morning person by any means.

What day off? I am a housewife. I have no days off. On top of that, I do mylot, dust and flirt with my husband all at the same time! :)

Ha! Ha! Ha! I can relate to this - really! I also am a wife - but a working mom. I envy the younger generation who can oversleep particularly on weekends and holidays. They've nothing to worry about - breakfast is cooked for them, shirts are washed & ironed, house is cleaned. All they've got to do is wake up & appreciate the things or tasks accomplished for them. When you're already attached (or married), you don't have enough time to spare for yourself. You think about the kids, your hubby, the in-laws, the house, the food, the clothes, and so on.

So true, and yet our husbands think we should look like Heidi Klum. You never see her with nannies or help...but believe me, she has them. When the paparrazi are taking pictures of her for magazines they cannot take a picture of her boobs and the housekeeper and the nannies. They won't all fit in for a close up. :)

Yes. I think this has something to do with my body clock. I don't know why but for some reason, I always end up waking the same time everyday even if I don't have to go to work. I always like to sleep in on my off days so when I do wake up, I eat breakfast then go straight back to bed. LOL.

I could never go back to bed. Once I'm up, I'm up. That would make me feel like I was really wasting my daylight hours! I do like to sleep in, but once I am up, I don't think I'd be able to go back to sleep at all.

I am not a morning person at all either. I HATE waking up in the morning. My husband brings me coffee every single morning in bed and I usually drink a whole cup of coffee before my feet even hit the floor. I just started a new job and I have to be there at 8:30 AM and it's 21 miles from here over a mountain no less, and the last 4 miles to the college where I work is 30 miles per hour the whole way, so it takes about 40 to 50 minutes to get there! UGH. . . I have a very hard time in the morning.

It really depends on how that particular week goes. If I get enough sleep that week, I would probably get up early and start doing something right away on my day off. Otherwise I would be sleeping in and have a relaxing day off. Like this week, I definitely will sleep in tomorrow! I have been drained this week *laughs*.

I sleep in every chance I get. If I have to get the kids up for school, but I do not have to get up for a while, I will usually even sneak back to bed for a nap until I have to get up. I am no morning person either.

When I sleep in I don't like to sleep in any later than 11:00 or it seems like I've wasted part of my day. Thing is, I'm ready to nap by 2:30 or 3:00. Today, I have to be at work at 4:00, so no nap, which means I'm going to be super tired when I get home around 12:30 or 1:00 in the morning.
