Are You A Morning Person?

bhuffman · March 2014

Because I am such a crank in the morning. I need 15 minutes to get myself moving and to get a smile on my face. DH STILL does not understand that and acts offended that I'm not smiling and giddy first thing.

MomIn2013 · March 2014

I'm not in the sense that I really hate waking up early, but at the same time, when I get up it only takes me a minute or so to feel like my normal cheerful self. Seeing DS smile his big happy "it's morning" smile is enough to get me going pretty quickly!

Chapter79 · March 2014

Yessss. I'm up at 5:45 ready to go.. unless I wake earlier on my own, and I'm usually still ready to go. I LIKE my coffee in the morning, but I don't require it to function. I can go over an hour getting everything ready with DD/school before I even take 5 sips and I'm still ready to go. And I love to get up before everyone and enjoy a quite house for a few.

LOVE mornings.

That's hilarious because I'm very much a morning person and DH is not. I'm all chatty and happy and he's Mr Grump Face. And I'm all "Dude, why the grump face?!" and I get all offended when he won't talk to me at 5am!

jenniann87 · March 2014

Not in the slightest. I despise getting up and moving in the morning. I do it bc I have to obviously but would so much rather sleep and wake on my own without an alarm. DH is the same way. I also need at least one cup of coffee in me before I can function, it is necessary for me.

haha this is SO us. I wanna talk, talk, talk.. H barely hears me, and looks all cranky and junk. I can't tell him anything I actually want him to remember before 7am... it goes in one ear and out the other. And I sit there chatting to myself.

Thankfully, my kiddo has my genes.. she's a morning person, too, and not cranky. Takes her 2 minutes to get up and out of bed. Takes DH like 30 minutes- he lays there moaning.

Arnegard · March 2014

Nope. I set my alarm 30 minutes before the kids have to be up.

nosoup4u · March 2014

I hate mornings, I'm a total grump. DS1 is the same. DS2 wakes up smiling every morning, which never fails to impress me.

joyfullyfound · March 2014

Total morning person! I get up at 5:00/5:30 am of my own free will and enjoy it it, haha. I love everything about the morning... and I can jump out of bed straight into a task with no problem. Now, night time is a whole other story... I get super cranky the minute I stay up past 11:00 pm. I don't like night time, or staying up late.

ariel06 · March 2014

I am if I've had enough sleep.

I get up usually as DH is about to walk out the door. This morning, he says right before he leaves, "Are you mad at me?"

I just woke up. We've been together a decade. Why are you even asking that?

Gee.

caybeh · March 2014

Not really. I'm not crabby and can wake up pretty fast. The thought of waking up early just because doesn't appeal to me. I'm a sleeper. I'm not a morning or a night person. DH is not a morning person, and is a night owl.

thechickencoop · March 2014

No. Not at all. I love my bed. And sleep.

jensriot · March 2014

Nope. I'm better after coffee and a shower though

That's even more hilarious!! When DH won't talk to me, I'll ask what's wrong and he'll ask why I always ask him that at 5am - obviously the fact that it's 5am and he's awake is whats wrong.

SallyAnneS · March 2014

Nope... But i have been getting better since i have been eating better and working out. Oh and my kid sttn. Lol

Lydia is such a cute little morning person!! My Anna is like DH, that's actually pretty cute. The handful of times I've had to wake the babies up in the morning, she rolls over and digs her face into her pillow and moans. Haha!! She's like DH's mini-me.

rosesandpetals · March 2014

I drank an entire cup of coffee before I even sat up this morning. So no, not a morning person.

This is our house as well.

Lilly&Co · March 2014

right now the morning person thing is need not apply…. baby is up ever hour. so I am maybe on 3 hours of sleet. I am so tired my face is numb. I can't really nap with the other kids around so that is not really an option. yeah I am just beat right now.

magentawarped · March 2014

Oh hell no. My bed is my friend. Fortunately, the kids like to sleep in as well.

rockyrollgirl · March 2014

Generally yes I love mornings. H could sleep until noon.

But new babies are so squishy! Have you posted a pic of him yet? AWing might make you feel better about the sleep deprivation!

jnksmom · March 2014

I am not a morning person as in I don't like getting out of the bed. Once I am up, I am not grumpy but not overly chatty or anything either. H is way worse than I am. He sets his alarm for 30 minutes before he needs to get up because it takes him forever to get out of bed and then he moans and groans about he didn't want to get up.

raraavis28 · March 2014

I'm not a fan of getting out of bed, but once I'm up, I'm good. Once I get coffee I'm ready to go! I do tend to be the most productive in the morning.....except for mornings like this, when I end up on TB.....

zbeesma86 · March 2014

I used to not be. No way.

Since having Z I've turned into one. I like to workout in the morning- at the gym by 6 or 7am then come home to Z & Dh messing up the house haha

Well, I am usually cranky when it is early but not for long. I wake up annoyed and then go wash my face and brush my teeth and am fine.

I am the most productive in the mornings though. Come 5:00pm, and I am running on fumes. I am using every last ounce of my energy just to get dinner on table, homework and bath done and the dinner dishes washed. I really have to push myself at night. Once I sit, I am done for.

My kid turns into some kind of crazed animal if I don't get him into his high chair at 5 on the dot and give him something to eat. Makes getting dinner ready a living hell some nights.

But, once I get going and get some coffee in me, I'm good. I have a hard time getting going in the mornings though, especially if we don't have anywhere to be in the mornings...

hayleydeee · March 2014

So NOT a morning person. It takes me a long time to wake up.

meglew · March 2014

I have never in my life been a morning person. The idea of rising with the sun does not appeal to me - ever.

nonoemily · March 2014

I love mornings. The alarm goes off at 3:45. J leaves at 5:15 and I have two peaceful hours to myself to do whatever I want. I fall asleep looking forward to waking up!

chardonnay24 · March 2014

Not at all. It takes me a good hour to really feel awake. Once I've had coffee and breakfast, I'm good to go. I crash after lunch, though. I'm really more of an evening and late night person, which sucks since that's when I should be sleeping.

jlpev · March 2014

Yes! Apparently my kids are too. I love it! Dh has become one but he used to need 10 minutes to himself but he's gotten over that.
