Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I heard little feet coming in my room at like 4:45 so I just stayed awake and got to fall back to sleep in my room and I went downstairs to work out but instead jumped online. I usually wake up at 5:15 so that I can work out. It's my only time. I'd rather do it at night but by the time I get home from work, then dinner who wants to do it then and then do baths.
