How Do You Wake Up In The Morning?

Do not look at me, talk to me, or otherwise acknowledge that I exist until I let you know it's ok to do so. It is better than it used to be. I might acknowledge you if you speak to me.

I feel your pain!

Pre-child, I was generally a happy person in the morning. Now that I am still getting up multiple times a night with my daughter, I really wish she would let me sleep in just a little longer.

Hmm. I guess I'm choice #2, because I like mornings, but I don't like the waking up part. Once I'm up and about, though, I'm good to go.

When I get a good night's sleep, I'm choice #1.

My husband is one of those morning grumps, but that's because he stays up to all hours working on his websites and then wonders why he's tired when he has to get up at 6:30 to get ready for work! Who could feel happy with 4 hours sleep??? Not me!

Even as a child, I hated getting up in the morning for school; later I hated getting up for work. It would be nearly impossible for me to get to Church on Sunday morning unless I did all my prep work on Sat night..like a bath, washing my hair, laying out my clothes, etc.
My body begins to come alive around 11 am.

I used to be good to go on four hours sleep. Now I need at least 6 or 7 hours. Anything less, and it's next to impossible to get motivated in the mornings to do anything!!

Last night we were at church till nearly 11pm... by the time we got in bed, it was midnight. This morning when the alarm clock went off at 4:45-- hubby rolled over, picked up the phone and called into work.. told them to mark him down for half a day of vacation. He reset the clock, got up at 8:30-- and went to work to clock in at 10am. He doesn't do that often.... in fact, I can't even remember any time in the last 10 years that he's just laid out of work for the morning... LOL Usually if he misses work at all, he's too sick to even get out of bed-- and has to have help to get to the doctors office. So I'm not complaining... besides, it was nice to get to have an hour with him this morning before he went to work. We sat in the office and watched the birds playing in the yard.

I did tell him when he comes in this afternoon, he better take a nap-- because we have another night of youth revival tonight... and he can't take the morning off again tomorrow.

Wow - 11:00? Is Cory doing the youth revival or do y'all have an evangelist in?

I have to get up fairly early every day to do home school with my daughter. But I like to get up and have a a couple of cups of coffee and enjoy the quiet before anyone else gets up. I hat talk first thing in the morning.


Oh and did I wake up grouchy this morning?











No I let her sleep. lol

I wake up Horizontal!

As I've gotten older, and crankier (due to crippling body) my mind is alert, yes and ready to be ALIVE, but the pains keep me from 'being all I used to be' in the mornings., my body takes longer to get warmed up.
