Morning Inquisition

As if! I know what's really going on!

Am I the only one who needs like 15 minutes in the morning to wake up? That's it! Just let me wake up, adjust to the bright, bright sunlight and wipe the sleep from my eyes. Is that too much too ask for? There's a reason why I don't work out in the mornings because I feel like when you work out, it should be when you have the most energy and that is definitely not in the morning. At least for me! Now I know the health benefits and how it can be such a "wonderful head start to your day!", but I don't care! I would rather hit snooze three times then hit the gym. 
My parents always get so mad at me in the mornings. They tell me that they "walk on egg shells" around me or they try so hard to get along with me in the mornings. Honestly I think they are being a bit dramatic. My mornings are exactly that...MINE! Don't get upset with me if it's between the hours of 7:00 and o'clock and I'm not prepared to answer the array of questions you have built up for me.

"What's your work schedule next week?"
 "How many hours do you have?"
"Are you going out tonight?"
 "What are you doing? Why are you squinting like that?"
"Did you eat all of that stuff I had in the freezer?"
"How was work last night? I bet it was good to be back after being off!"


Men naturally are non-verbal and respond with, "uh-huh" or the caveman's grunt. Once I'm wide awake I'm very talkative but naturally I respond to all these questions with groans, "uh-huh's" and "whatever". Then I get placed in a massive amount of trouble for not wanting to be involved with the family. I get told that I'm impossible to get along with each and every morning, “when we try taking an interest in what’s going on with you, you don’t want to talk about it!”. Well, the way I see it, if you would just give me 15 sweet minutes of solitude without any inquisition I might be a bit more decent in the mornings. Can I just take me vitamins without being ambushed- that's all I ask for.

  1. I as well am not a morning person. You definitely have to let me wake up by myself and not wake me. That's the reason I don't take any classes til mid-day. My family knows though not to wake me, I've trained them over the years that waking me up is not the best idea. Why don't your parents ask you those questions at dinner or text you throughout the day asking did you eat what was in the freezer. I too would be in a very non-responsive mood if they barged into my room in the wee hours of the morning and started firing questions at me. Out of all hours out of the day you had to pick the few hours I get sleeping to ask me non-relevant nor important mundane questions? Hopefully they will let you sleep in during summer at least.

  2. I'm so glad ours was an afternoon class! I loved the humor in this blog--the string of questions that you must face in the morning cracked me up. That's how my parents were, too. I love the visuals, too. Hilarious. Kimberly
