I decided {at the last-minute and thanks to my sister} to join the Nester and her 31 days link party.
I will be writing a letter everyday for 31 days.
Some will be silly letters.
Some will be serious letters.
And all of them will be very sincere.
Hope you enjoy this little project {and I hope it makes you laugh or cry or at least get to know me a little better}.
I’m a little late to the party…forgive me.

Day 1 {sort-of}:
Dear Fellow Night Owls,
Are you awake right now? It’s past midnight and I’m hopeful that some of you are up. Are you reading blogs, cleaning, watching TV, folding laundry or just trying to fall asleep as thoughts of tomorrow race through your brain? That’s usually what I’m doing. It’s not that I want anyone else to be as crazy as me…but I like knowing I’m not the only crazy one out there. A few months ago my Paigey told me that I’m like a bat because I stay up all night and sleep all day. Her five-year old observation was not that far off…in reality. I would love to be up all night and sleep until noon everyday {I’m not really awake in the morning until 10 AM and at least one or two cups of coffee anyway}. I struggle to get out of bed every.single.day. I do have trouble sleeping most nights and honestly I just have more energy at night. When 10 PM rolls around…I come alive. I am not in a season of life that is conducive to being a night owl {college was so awesome} but sometimes I just cannot help myself! Please tell me I’m not the only one. I would like to think that you are out there doing the same things as I shut down the house and glance at the clock each night and think oops I did it again…how did it get so late? So goodnight my fellow owls…sleep tight. Until we meet again tomorrow night! XO
Sincerely {and sleepily},
*laura*
Didn’t see this last night, but here I am at 11:50 pm working on stuff for Elijah’s first birthday party, reading blogs, and enjoying the peace + quiet. I am totally a night owl . . . full of energy in the evening and I get my best sleep from about 4-9 am. I saw this quote a while ago and it is so me :: “I stay up late every night and realize it’s a bad idea every morning.” Love you, Laura!
Ailie…we are kindred spirits! xo
I’m sorry, have we met? I think you are describing me! haha 🙂 Everyone on my dad’s side of the family is a night owl. We have always said that if everything were open at night we could run the world! I think we need a support group for us night owls… not to recover from it. But to sit around and have fun… late at night… while the family is asleep… and we’ll eat all the good snacks 🙂
