Yesterday was the first full day of our trip. My husband and I are traveling kid-free for a few days. We had a late flight in and got to our hotel room around midnight, but that felt like 2 am “our time” from Chicago. I can’t even begin to remember the last time I stayed up until 2 am. Probably when my son wouldn’t sleep as an infant. Not because I was out with friends. So I was SURE the next day I would sleep in. Knowing that I didn’t have a monitor at the side of my bed to check in on throughout the night, knowing I wouldn’t hear the sound of my son calling for me at an early moring hour, I thought I’d sleep in.
Well, it turns out that Mom alarm clock follows you on vacation! I woke up around the same time I always do, even after my late night the night before. Even on vacation I can’t sleep in!
Well, I just woke up this morning. The second day of our trip. And I slept in abit more than yesterday, but still, nothing crazy. I bet you I will get all set into this time zone as soon as we board the plane tomorrow! Then the rest of the week sure will be tricky in getting back in a groove. Thank goodness for Spring Break!
A kid-free vacation and you wake up early?!?!?!? Argh! I know that feeling. That’s happened to me when my husband and I have stolen away for our anniversary. How is it that our mom alarm clocks stay intact when we travel?
Enjoy the rest of your time away!

I love how you listed all the reasons you were sure you would sleep in before telling us the reality of what happened. Hope you’re having a restful vacation anyway!

I swear, it’s like a mom curse! Even the days where my husband gets up with my little one to let me “sleep in,” I just can’t seem to do that. Once I hear her cry/up, it’s like my mom brain can’t shut off. Hopefully you’re able to turn on vacation mom mode before your trip is over. Regardless, enjoy your kid-free time! 🙂

Ugh that is the worst not being able to sleep on non-kid mornings! It is like a curse!

Bummer you couldn’t sleep in. I seem to have no problem with that even though I have 2 kids! But still nice to get away!
