Even if they rattle on before you've had your prerequisite second cup of coffee. Everyone else talking about carpe diem. Shoot.

He then advanced to the water trick, if that failed he took the bed covers.<br /><br />I wouldn't class myself as a morning person, everyone close to me knows not to attempt to talk to me until 1 hour after waking and my morning cuppas. Before children I was a 10 hour sleep a night or I couldn't function. Funnily enough since having kids I am a very early riser, I intially needed a couple of hours to wake up and face the day, now I just love the alone time and agree with your Dad, it's the best time of the day :)handinhandaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433309555857325268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-25130032259624259142009-12-02T01:46:06.719+10:002009-12-02T01:46:06.719+10:00I'm a mid day kind of gal.

Maybe. *laugh*ELIZABETHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508304939265970143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-62195273222517294732009-12-01T14:23:53.004+10:002009-12-01T14:23:53.004+10:00Yes, waking up slowly and alone is so benificial! ...Yes, waking up slowly and alone is so benificial! Ella does not like rising early, so I tend to get 30 mins to myself most mornings. But even when she is awake when I get up, she fortunately does not seem to be very talkative either at that time of the day, so it kind of works. My friends have quickly learned never to aks me any questions before I've had at least one cup of coffee. I am totally allergic to questions before that!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275854881032789432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-10252615099141805482009-12-01T10:49:04.414+10:002009-12-01T10:49:04.414+10:00I'm not strictly a morning person (too many di...I'm not strictly a morning person (too many different shifts in nursing over the years) but I do wake up early and grab the day by the short and curlies, lol.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851305238478213940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-55611043028963449802009-12-01T10:31:00.433+10:002009-12-01T10:31:00.433+10:00"And yet he lives."
ROFL!!!
My girls a..."And yet he lives."<br /><br />ROFL!!!<br /><br />My girls are 4:30am risers. They have been since birth, although up until about age 1 J and F your wake for a feed and allow us all another hour or two of sleep. That is now a very distant memory!<br /><br />Like you, I can either grumble about the early start, or embrace it. And embracing it certainly works much more to the general smiley-ness of the day.<br />Most mornings I am awake 10 or 15 minutes before the girls. Gathering my thoughts for the day and being able to wake somewhat slowly is VERY beneficial to me!<br />Then the girls and I start our day with a few morning rituals - saying good morning to the earth and to our bodies (omg it sounds SO much more hippy when I type it 'out loud'!). Then we do a bit of home learning and feed the animals before the boys rise. Mornings are our girl time now, and as early as it starts, I love it.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960199428417526306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-87488610128002716472009-12-01T10:08:32.461+10:002009-12-01T10:08:32.461+10:00Although I get up early, I am *NOT* a morning pers...Although I get up early, I am *NOT* a morning person. Basically, I get up, do what needs doing, and then by the time that I've got a cup of coffee in me, well, things seem a bit brighter.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-71348658546919953622009-12-01T08:13:35.925+10:002009-12-01T08:13:35.925+10:00Yes yes ...love time to myself in the mornings ......Yes yes ...love time to myself in the mornings ...I don't take to talking very much too early ....unless it's to God. *smile*Sarah Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884012730205363096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-73187141034693387382009-12-01T07:20:02.724+10:002009-12-01T07:20:02.724+10:00I'm with you.

I guess I am a morning person and I'm pretty much worthless after 9 p.m. The sunrise this time of year is so late I can't even depend on it for a wakeup call.

But I am routinely up early (even when I don't need to be) because it's my only real quiet time and when I get the most writing done.<br />I've trained the boys to find something solitary to do for an hour or so after waking if they are up during the same hours I am (this is rare).Mary O.
