What are you like when you wake up first thing in the morning?

Just another morning? - just morning

Since most days are basically the same for me and I live alone I'm very boring first thing in the morning. Of course the first thing I do is make my way to the coffee maker and when I haven't set it up the night before I always get mad at myself for that. From there I usually head to my desk and fire up the old pc! I'm very much a creature of habit and check my emails first doing my "clicks" for the morning and earning my few pennies for doing it. From there I spend some time here on mylot. Meanwhile I'm getting up to refill my coffee cup waiting for that caffeine to kick in. Once that happens I'm off and running getting whatever needs to be done done. How are you in the morning? Get up and go or wait until you are ready to face another day?

well the first thing i do in the morning is put my dog out to use the bathroom, then i drag myself into the kitchen to fix my coffee,than let the dog in,and go and see what e-mails i have..I do a lot of yawning and dragging in the morning haha..when i have had my second cup of coffee,i will pick up some and wash any dishes that might have gotten siled during the night,you know its a mystery how dishes can get dirty at night,haha..I brush my teeth,then turn on the Tv,and i talk on the phone...sound boring yet? well it is...I finally get dressed for the day,sometimes i don't..I live such an exciting life.LOL

I think you should too.I have a little dog and her name is "Tiny" and she is such a pleasure to have,it makes your day just to see how much she loves you,she is the most faithful little friend.She can entertain me so much,and it gives me something to do all the time.

I really have to start looking into getting a puppy again. I seldom leave this apartment any more and when I had my little buttercup I was out there 4 or 5 times a day and I miss it.

I'm usuallly grumpy in the morning. but is because i don't get woke up by the alarm. I get woke up by screaming "mom, we want breakfast!" "mommy I wanna drink!" "mom, hailey won't let me talk to logan!" (our new baby brother we fight over.) So I sleepily drag my butt out of bed and go downstairs. i change two diapers and pour everyone cereal. then i go to the bathroom and check the fire, then i clean up breakfast and get my breakfast while they go watch a movie.

As soon as I get up, I offer my prayers to God. Then brush the teeth, then making coffee in a coffee filter and boiling milk in another burner of the gas stove. Then I wake up my husband and daughter and give coffee to them. This is followed by making breakfast and making lunch box for my daughter then it is never ending till 11.00 pm in the night. In between I find some time for mylot.

I love that early morning doze; so, getting off the bed is a bit of an effort. Then, I just pet the cats, say good morning to the dogs, brush my teeth, wash my face, comb my hair, go for a short walk, come back home, sweep the house, prepare the breakfast with my Mom, have my breakfast, and get ready for work.. Am quite a cheerful person in the mornings! :)

I am in a rush rush frenzy. Most of the time I am grouchy because I am tired, of getting up doing the same things over and over.

Most of the time, I'm just blank in the morning. I don't like to talk, I don't like to hear any noise or anything loud for that matter, I'm not grumpy or mad I just feel so not in the mood but it usually passes around after 15 minutes or so. It seldom happens that I feel so excited (even if there really is something for me to be excited about) when I wake up. I don't know why but it's just me. :) After my "quiet moment", I'll have coffee and toasts, like you I also wait for the caffeine to kick in and I'm good to go. I'm alive and happy already.

I am a morning person by nature. I love to start a new day. I have my coffee and post in mylot most mornings. I then go get dressed and washed up and have breakfast. I then come back and work on the internet. I check all three of my emails first to see if there is anything important I need to respond to right away. I then check my paypal account for any new payments. then I come back to mylot for a while before I read my emails for money. I keep coming back to mylot when I get bored and do some more posting. I very seldom wake up feeling low or tired. I don't sleep much but I am always thankful for another day and I take full advantage of that day. I don't have a job outside of the home, so I do the housework and baking and cooking. I love these things so I don't mind not having a job anymore. I also spend a lot of time on the computer. If I didn't have the computer I might get bored and then I wouldn't like not working. I can't work because of health reasons or I would be working. It's better to be out in the world and meet and interact with live people instead of always just on the internet.

Well, I would consider myself a slow starter in the morning. The first thing I usually do after washing up in the morning is to switch on the computer to check any overnight movements in the world stock markets (I do that for a living now if you noticed my profile :-) ). Next, I will give my brain and body sometime to warm up/start the engine before going downstairs to prepare breakfast and stuffs. :-)

I am rather grumpy. I am definitely not a morning person. If I had my way I would wake up at ten or eleven everyday. The biggest issue is that my 17 month old son is a morning person and wakes up between 7 and 8 all happy and cheerful!

Most of the time I get up as soon as the alarm goes off and get things ready for my son and hubby (breaky and their clothes), then I get them up too. If I am working, then I fix that I need to do with myself i.e. shower, change, face, teeth, hair etc and then attend to my son, while my hubby fixes himself lol

I wake up to a 19 month old little girl climbing all over me. With me begging her to lay back down to sleep. She laughs at me, so we get up. I make her breakfast and while she is eating next to me, I check my email and try to wake up a little more. When she is finished I clean her up and we play. I eat a couple of hours later.

When I wake up in the morning lately It's like I don't have a reason to get up. I get up and I'm so tired that I get dizzy, I have to go to the bathroom right away and brush my teeth and wash my face. I go downstairs and eat something and I'm 100% okay, then I'm ready to do whatever I want.
