Handy Dandy
Maddie is a sunrise waker. As soon as it’s light, she’s up. Regardless of what time she went to bed. I’ve been worried about the coming time change and how that will affect my her wake up time. I looked at blackout curtain liners, but they’re expensive. I was going to buy a curtain panel and sort of rig an opaque shower curtain liner behind it, so I went out shopping today to find said curtain and liner. Sadly, my beloved Target didn’t having anything I liked. Well, they had the sheer curtain that matches Maddie’s bedding, but sheer = not what I need. I decided to try another mega mart that shall remain nameless. On an end-cap, I happened to stumble across a blackout curtain for $21.88. The curtain and the hardware cost me $50. That’s less than one blackout liner.
I put it all up myself. It’s not fashionable or even very pretty. But it works. Quite well, actually. It’s a 7 out of 10.

Ooo, I think it looks nice! I like the thing to hold it back, too.
It looks pretty good. I’ve considered something for my son, but he sleeps through sunlight. I think it’s just wishful thinking that he’d sleep in longer. And he doesn’t even get up early. But the last 3 days he’s slept in. Ahh, that’s been nice.
So, did it work? Is she sleeping longer in the morning?
I have one of those damn early wakers too. Except we’re talking WELL before the sun comes up. I fear the time change too. FEARRRRRR.
What an awesome idea! Kudos to you!
