I like getting up early, having the house to myself, cleaning, grading, organizing, cooking. As long as I don't have to talk to anyone.
Contact before 10am is iffy. You're kinda risking it by saying, "Goooooooood morning!" when you see me before a certain time.
I do get up insanely early though. I leave for school at 8am. I get up at 5:30am. I need those hours to move through my routine. If I'm rushed, I'll be in a bad mood. I'm pretty slow in the a.m. I like to have time to read blogs, shower, watch the Today show, do laundry/dishes, etc.
So yesterday, I got up at 5:33am (I set my alarms to really weird times). After s.l.o.w.l.y getting ready, it was only 7am and the question of breakfast perplexed me. I wasn't really hungry, but knew I'd be starving by 10am and that would send me to my stash of Hershey bars by noon. Not eating breakfast sets me up for a bad day.
This is what indecisiveness looks like.
I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. I ended up with a piece of toast with strawberry jam, a piece of a chocolate chip pancake, and half a serving of oatmeal. I almost put chocolate chips in my oatmeal. That's the yellow bag. I decided against it.
The pancake batter was leftover from the night before. I wasn't planning on eating them for breakfast. I packed two pancakes for lunch at school. I nibbled on the one you see there and, currently, it's still sitting on that plate.
Vanilla and cinnamon for the oatmeal. Plus, the ingredients for the chili I told myself I'd be making for dinner last night. They're still sitting there. I had a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.
And then I ate some animal crackers and rice crispy treats.
Do you have weird breakfast habits? Are you soooo not a morning person? I've been this way forever and I really don't see it changing anytime soon.
Linking up to Mingle with Us!
I got off to a VERY sluggish start this morning...I know the feeling! I'm visiting from Kate's spring time link up, and newly following you! xoxo, eliza
ReplyDeletei actually am more of a morning person than a night person - my husband is the opposite. I'd rather go to bed early so I can be up early - I like the quiet mornings. : ) and breakfast is my favorite meal and often have a hard time deciding what to eat because I like many of the options!
ReplyDeleteI, too, wake up early but hate being talked to or bothered until after the first cup of coffee. Unfortunately, my 7-year-old, who has had 7 years of experience with this, doesn't abide by that unwritten rule. She watches TV for an hour or so and I slowly wake up, do blog stuff, and nurse coffee. As for weird eating, I always eat cereal. 99% of the time. And it's always the same kind: Special K Vanilla Almond.
ReplyDeleteLove this post because I am JUST like you...I am NOT at all a morning person! If I don't have coffee, I am barely able to function.
