I am NOT a morning person!

[_Sam Harris]

I hate morning people. If you are a morning person, forgive me, but I hate you. I don't mean to be mean, but you have way too much energy and perkiness in the morning, and I can't take it! Please lemmelone!

I start work at 7 each day. I'm usually up around 4:30 because my fiancee hasn't gotten it into his head that he's no longer in the Army, and there's no bugle blowing to wake him up. He starts twitching between 3:30 and 4:30 each morning, and hence I wake up...with a migraine. He says his body is still used to getting up at 3:30 (he used to have to get up at that time in order to get to work). Um, I had a job where I had to be to work at 4:30, and my body never got used to a damned thing. Freak.

I come into work, and I'm trying to get my rusty engine started, and my co-workers pratically assault me, HIIIII SAMANTHA! HOW ARE YOU THIS MORNING??? WHY SO QUIET??? Get the $*$& out of my face, it's 7 am! Normal people do not like this time of day! I'm not a morning person, I'm not even a night person, I'm a mid-afternoon person, and there's only a space of about two hours when I'm awake enough to communicate with you coherently. If you don't reach me during that two hours, well then that's too bad for you.

And what's this mess about wanting to get freaky at 2 am on a WORKNIGHT?! I have to get up and earn money, that's how "Speck" got here in the first place, can't I sleep? Don't be touching me, hollering about how you love me, save that crap for Saturday so I can sleep in! Urrrgh.

Ok, rant over. Perhaps I can steal ten minutes of sleep before my boss gets back. I need a Red Bull...

I think my family and co-workers like to tease me because they know I am chronically sleep deprived. Don't they know that's dangerous?

[_Moniker]

Ha! Sam, your post was funny! I am a morning person... I'm a night person, too, though. :)

I imagine your pregnancy makes you a bit more tired than usual.

[_Yoda]

OK, Sam, now I truly know that you and I were separated at birth. LOL

I am the EXACT same way!!!!!

I have to have about 3 ice coffees before I can speak to you coherently in the morning. Leave me alone. Let me putter about and check my email. I will speak to you in coherent sentences around noon. LOL

When I was teaching, and had to be at work by 9:30 in the morning, my students knew that for the first three hours of class, they would be doing either an independent project or testing. No questions until after lunch! LOL

Ahhh pregnant women, the memories are coming back to me now....

What is morning?

It's this arbitrary time slot they added to keep night time and afternoon from bumping into each other.

I hate it when they did that. Probably another conspiracy by the radical faction that brought us the vile concept of "daylight savings time".

If left to my own devices, I am a 10/2 person. That is to say, I will naturally stay up until 2 a.m. and wake around 10 a.m. I am almost never left to my own devices thanks to the so called normal people who expect me to arrive to work "bright and early" and whomever created that phrase was simply sadistic.

Left to my own devices I would stay up 36 hrs and sleep 18 hours. Meds keep me on a 2/2 plan. Bed by 2ish, wake up at 2.

Sam honey, here take my hand...

Let me reveal the mysteries of the maternal body cycle yet to come. Somewhere on or about the third trimester, you're not going to be able to sleep much at all. You might find yourself waking throughout the night for various reasons that are too delicate to mention here (think potty) and infact, the night before you go into labor you might find yourself wide awake for no apparent reason at all except for the fact that your maternal body cycle will know it's on full alert and didn't bother to send you an invitation.

Yes, these are the mysteries of motherhood. You see, nature has a way of preparing us for the sleepless night feedings yet to come and yes, dear Sam, these are just among the many cruel jokes that mother nature, in her enormous wisdom, will play on you throughout your female lifetime.

It's a good thing that once we hold our babies for the first time, they erase the memory of such cruel treatment so keep in mind what you have to look forward to and be glad for the blessings. Now be a good girl. Get some sleep while you can, take your vitamins and don't forget your cocoa butter.

p.s. And don't forget what every woman who has been pregnant knows. You can get away with saying and doing just about anything to anybody while your pregnant so when the mood strikes you...pick a good target and have at it!
