Morning person-ness and spring cleanings

A few days ago, I have decided to try and become a morning person. So far, it has been working well.  As long as I go to sleep at 11 p.m., which is precisely 8 hours before I have to wake up, I am actually downright cheerful once I roll out of bed.  I usually turn everything off at around 10:30 (TV, computer, etc) and start my pre-bed routine:  wash face, put on lotion, check all the locks, set the alarm, load the shotgun...  Don't judge, it's tough having a deployed husband.  Then, at 11, it is lights out.  I have been waking up earlier, and being more productive than I usually am.  Today, due to going to bed late last night (Jon called, yay!), I woke up at 9, which is still not too shabby for a weekend.  So far, I have decided to embark on some spring cleaning.  My house is generally pretty clean, but I need to do some vacuuming and yard cleaning.  I don't ever try to tackle spring cleaning in one day, but rather do a little at a time as I go along.  Makes things easier on my back AND on my conscience.  With that, I must wrap up writing and run along to do some laundry, too.  Will this stuff EVER learn to fold itself?  'Til next time!
