So how do you wake up in the morning?

[WaitingTesting]

I hop up and make my husband breakfast while he hits the snooze alarm five times, lol.

I voted the life is wonderful option, but wish I could have voted the last option. My ideal morning would be to skip breakfast and snuggle or romp w/my husband, but I've long since learned that he's too dead to the world in the morning to even acknowledge my existence, much less participate in either of the aforementioned, so I hightail it to the kitchen, make his breakfast, get ready for work while he's eating and that is that.

I'm very slow in the morning. I need at least 15-20 minutes to sit, drink coffee and gather my thoughts.

You make him breakfast? Mine is so grumpy sometimes the only thing he can mutter is "coffee" at which I was supposed to arrange that. At once point I started to refuse to aknowledge that unless he first validated my existence in the morning by at least saying "hello" before "coffee"

Good morning...

Still in Zombie mode, here, as I await my coffee. Love the last two options when my S.O. is over, though.

Good morning to you too. We are beyond coffee here... I'm also for the last two options... my S.O. is here every morning but he is mostly grumpy.... until he is well out of bed and has his coffee.

Alarm is set for 9am so I can get up and disconnect Gil from his machine and test his blood sugar and give him his insulin. Depending on the sugar level I usually snuggle back in to bed for cuddles for an hour or more before it's time to get his breakfast.

As you can see he is not a morning person. He suffers with insomnia so he is sometimes up all night and comes to bed any time between 3am and 6am.....ever tried to shovel something into someone who is so sleepy they can't be bothered?

True morning people piss me off sometimes; they seem to exude this air of moral superiority. So their circadian rhythms work that way; big deal. With better reason, cats could claim that they are superior because they can leap many times their height, lick their own genitalia, and see in the dark.

My husband's brother is always pointing out the fact that I am not an early riser, and once I'm awake it takes me a while to rise. Implied, of course, is that this somehow makes me lazier, sloppier, whatever. Jerk. I think I'll ask him if he's learned to lick his own...genitalia yet.

I agree... And I sometimes get annoyed that society in general seems to be in favor of morning people - a lot of things for which there is no need to start them so early take place at a time when all I want is turn around and sleep another hour or two (and that, no matter how early or late I went to bed). And of course oversleeping or not wanting to do things in the early morning is seen as "bad and lazy", while no one acknowledges how well I can think and work at midnight or later, and no one calls those lazy who are asleep by 10 pm everyday...

*GRUMP*


Someone forgot the "other" option again!


I wake...I listen to see whether or not the kitchen hog has departed....then I rise, planning to spend enough time to set the skin tingling under the shower...and its on with day.


I'd really rather be woken completely differently...but *shrug* when you sleep alone, there's no chance of that!

Well, I think the lazy ass fuckers are those men who men that expect their SO to get up and make them breakfast, assuming they are capable themself. There seems to be a lot of posts in this thread from women saying they have to get up to make their guy breakfast.

My mother-in-law did that for my father-in-law every day of their married life. So MrB expected it too. He learned an important life lesson early on. I do not cook breakfast. Ever. If he expects me to do it, he will be hungry.

I learned how to pour my own shredded wheat quite early in life. And I wouldn't trust the wifely one to make my toast, either. It's much safer making my own breakfast. I'll live longer and be more regular too.

i blame it on lack of practice.
