So how do you wake up in the morning?

[Bandit58]

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?

Routine has changed a bit since I last posted - 3 mornings a week we have to be up early to get Gil to dialysis. He is now on haemodialysis instead of the machine he was on at home so he has to go to the hospital now, luckily it's only a few minutes drive up the road.

On those days it's wake at 6am, test blood sugar and give insulin, then breakfast and out the door to be there by 7.30. On his days off we sleep till 8am. He's managing to get better sleep these days even though he sometimes still doesn't come to bed until 2 or 3 am.

Well, she had that coming to her I guess, if she acted like that. But see, that is the problem: people expect too much and take too many things for granted all too soon. Although your impress-her-confession was a bit too honest I may add..

It also never works to do things for someone else just to impress them. It never works because if it's not you you will not be able to keep it up.

I try not to do these kinda things. At the same time... I do a lot and don't mind but I hate it when people take it for granted. Appreciation and thankyou's are nice (is that childish?)

I've learnt to be less honest....hehehe...

but it's natural that while you are just starting to date - you sort of are on your best behaviour... as you get more comfortable... you relax and the real you comes out... as a friend once cruelly put it - the early days are all beutiful and rosy... once you are in the relationship then you get the good, the bad and the downright ugly... hehe..

I'm the first three options combined in the morning. I start out hitting the snooze button on the clock a few times, then I'm grumpy as all hell, and then I'm like a zombie for a little bit after I've gotten over the grumpy thing.

Im a pain in the ass for a lack of better words. I will get up when the alarm goes off, but then I dont want to do anything for about 30 minutes. If my wife ask for help, i will, but honestly im not enjoying it unless it is sex.

ours tends to overeat and then regurgitate if we put too much in the bowl, so we put small amounts in each time we see it's empty. That's probably why she eats when she feels like it.

I used to have a cat like that. He would scarf his breakfast right down and then it often came back up in much the same condition it went in. The other cat we had at the same time would then come along and clean up after him. Gross, but it saved having to clean up after him ourselves.

Nearly all the cats we've had have seen it as their constitutional right to wait (impatiently) until we've finished our cereal so they can prep the bowls for the dishwasher.

Reddevilron's post is a perfect example of why you want to be very, very careful trying to impress people with home cooking. Better you should get your food out and then find out what you like to eat once you get moved in together. It's so disappointing with a guy starts out with offering you homemade samosas and later all you ever get to eat at his place is a mouthful of something proteinacious.

I wake up incredibly amorous in the morning. If you want to have me lie on top of you and kiss your neck while my eyes are still shut and I'm still warm from being asleep, that's the time to go looking for it.

Now that the kiddies are out of school, we're all pretty lazy. Once school starts in August, the oldest girls and I will be getting up at 7:00 so they can catch the bus at 8:00.

My husband is doing a paper route (that he will likely be giving up when his contract expires at the beginning of August). He has to get up between 2:30 and 3:30am, depending on the day of the week. Before he retired from his cop career, he always got right up with the alarm. Last month, though, he turned the alarm off and went back to sleep and about 15 minutes later I turned over and noticed that he was still in bed.

Now we're using my alarm as backup.

my dog wakes me up between 4:30 and 5AM to go for his "morning constitutional" (walk). I get back home about 20 minutes later. Depending on how tired I am (or am not), I either start up my computer and check EMails, or go back to bed.

Well... amorous is better than bitchy, so I'm lucky. Also, it's the one time of the day when you know you can get laid (if that's of interest to you and you're in the "at least somewhat signficant other" category).

I am the opposite: grumpy, bitchy, and very irritable. Morning is definitely not the best time for lovemaking.

"Ah! New day! I jump out of bed and can't wait to strart my new day! Life is wonderful!"

Thats the closest to how I am.

I wake up, and its like a burst of energy rushes through me

Cool! Most of the time I'm like that too. It's the next best thing to being able to cuddle and all but since my M is the grumpy-type, most of the time that ain't happening. So I get out of bed and start doing all sorts of things. Like lurking and posting on Lit.

Like now

Good morning!

Fantastic. So long as you don't hog the covers or have freezing ice-cold liquid nitrogen feet, you can feel free to hop in and I'll see you in the morning.

I chose hit the snooze, but that's not totally right. Hubby is one of the "out of bed the instant the alarm goes off" types so I turn it off while he's in the shower and doze. Hearing the shower shut off is my snooze and that's when I know it's time to get up and get moving.

On weekends, I definitely go for a cuddle or more before breakfast, but during the week, it's just coffee (for him) or soda (for me) for our caffeine pick-me-up.

No grumpiness, really, but no rays of sunshine either.

It would be perfect to be able to wake up every morning like I did today...

My bed is under an open window, sheer white curtains sharing the morning sun with a slight breeze, tickling my skin as they flutter... the smell of coffee brewing... a smile at the thought of a new day with new possibilities.

Of course on the stormy days, it is not so perfect, but I have my ways of making those shine, as well.
