Situational morning person

Are you a morning person? I never used to be, but I think I have become a morning person...at least during the week. Well, I don't know if that makes me an actual morning person or a situational morning person, but as my daughter sleepily stood in the bathroom while I touched up the haircut I gave her last night, she said to me, "I don't know how you can be this busy so early in the morning!"

She's nine.

Going on 16.

But that's another story for another time.

I think I'm a morning person because somebody has to be in the house, otherwise nobody gets to where they need to be on time. And if nobody ELSE gets to where they need to be, I don't get where I need to be. So maybe it's not even "situational morning person" but rather "necessity morning person."

On the weekends, I do NOT want to get up early. I want to sleep until my back aches and my neck hurts and I have a caffeine withdrawal headache. So, if you get me up before 9 a.m., I just might give you a dirty look. Which is kind of dumb, really, because if I got up by, say, 8 a.m., I probably wouldn't ache and I wouldn't have a withdrawal headache. But there is something about laying in bed until you want to get up (or guilt sets in and you think you better get up) that is extremely attractive.

So if you ever ask me if I'm a morning person and I kind of seem non-committal, it's just because I can't decide myself!
