Night Owls or Early Birds?

 

            I have always been a night owl.  Richard was working graveyard when I first met him – which made him a night owl, I guess.  He often did not get home until after the boys had gone to school.  That was then.  It feels like such a long time ago.  For he has been an early bird for most of our marriage.  And I was too – often getting up with him.

            Our roles have changed somewhat.  He is the one who stays up late (though he still gets up early when he is feeling well) and I am the one who retires before 9:00.  What’s up with that?
