[...] the other morning in that nasty a.m. hour I told you about before, the one where life seems so unworthy of my getting out of bed at all, Will [...]

Andrea, yes! “It just doesn’t feel right” describes that leaving thing perfectly.

Reading your blog reminded me why I never really liked mornings, especially after children and a husband. We get up, forcing ourselves out of the wonderful state of relaxed limbs, and body, to tense back up, face the day, leave each other to go our seperate ways; work, school, etc. and inside, deep inside, it just doesn’t feel right.
THat is why Rog and I have ALWAYS kissed each other good bye in the morn, and clung onto each other a little extra cause “the leaving” is the worst part of the day. It was the same when the kids were in public school…………….I was always so glad when they got home; I’m always sooooo glad when he gets home :)

I do not — DO NOT — talk until I’ve had coffee. I’m not uncivil. I’m just…silent. I hate getting up but the moment I smell coffee, or better still, taste coffee, I remember how good life can be.

Um, I like coffee. A lot.

I’m not a snooze person…since college. Rooming with Christie killed any love I had for it. She used to set her alarm for 5 something when she had to get up at 7 something. Blargh.

I’ve never been a morning person, but am becoming more so. Right now I tend to wake up (early) to the cooing and babbling of my toddler in the next room. This is very pleasant except on the mornings when the cooing is more like screeching and the babbling is more like cursing in some unknown language.

I’d say 10-10 is my optimal time too, with a lag between 4-5. Afternoon sleepies, you know.

This made me grin! “It takes me until at LEAST noon to accept the day.” If we can just get you out of accounting and into the creative world only – I bet you could kind of set your own schedule then! I follow a lot of people on twitter who get to stay in their pj’s sometimes WAY past noon. :)

I have never, ever been a morning person. The fact that I am forced by virtue of my jobskills to work a day job has always been a burden to my night-loving body. It takes me until at LEAST noon to accept the day, which probably doesn’t bode well for my teaching skills in my 9AM class! (Why do kids have to go to school in the daytime anyway? Who made THAT decision??) I come from a family of night people though. On the flip side of me, there is Evan who from birth has been a day person. (Nice joke, Heavenly Father!)

I used to be a total night person, but too many years of regular employment 30 miles away from where I live has made me into a morning person. My alarm rarely even goes off; I usually shut it off before it has a chance. Even on weekends, I find myself grumbling because the local grocery market doesn’t open until 7AM, so I can’t get going on the week’s grocery shopping until then. I still don’t always like to get up. During allergy season (ie–now), I often don’t sleep well, and that shower really helps me wake up. Even so, morning is my most productive time.

I set my alarm early on purpose so I can hit my snooze at least once. And I hate the way the early morning sucks any ambition I had from the night before. I’ll lay out my work-out clothes and PROMISE myself that today is the day I meet Jillian Michaels downstairs. But then morning comes and I feel that such a thing is literally outside the realm of any possibility. Stinks.
