I’m a weirdo. I am different. Sometimes that’s good, but not always.
I am focused on myself a lot. I like to do things for myself. I like to read. I like to keep working on myself.
As a result, my family suffers. Not really suffers, but does not benefit as much..
A lot of times I”m just tired.
Waking up at 5am has its benefits. But I feel tired. A lot. Around 9 and after, it’s hard for me to stay up. My wife is on a different schedule, so she would like to do things.
I don’t have an answer to me being tired yet. I have to at least try to be refreshed during the week so I don’t feel so tired on a weekend. That’s one approach. The other? Get some more sleep on a weekend. I’m going to do that. I will wake up at 6am on a weekend. I tried changing it to 5, 5:30, 5:45. But I should stop playing around. When I wake up at 6, I still have some time to read, to write this blog entry, to do things! And as a result I will be less tired.
When I come from work, I need to spend an hour or so with my kids. Playing, reading, etc. Kids, kids, kids. Not me. Nothing else. I should challenge them. I should interest them. Anything. Take them for a ride. Go outside and play. Go inside and have fun. No tv. No video games. Just plain human interaction.
I owe myself to spend at least that much every day with my preciuos. Otherwise, time flies. They grow up. And I will miss this time and regret not doing that.
