how do you wake up in the am?
a cup of coffe?
a coke?
a nice cup of tea?
or do you just pop out of bed full steam ahead?
 
I have to have like a half hour of quiet before I'm nice in the morning. I can get out of bed & get ready, do computer work, whatever, just as long as no one is jabbering my ear off.

Once I'm fully awake, I'm annoying- says my husband who takes about a half a day to wake up and not be grouchy. :)
 
I wake up ready to go at about 530 with no alarm. Perhaps that is why I'm good for nothing and usually in bed by 830!
 
Gotta have my coffee. And then half way through the day, gotta half my coke.....coca cola, not coke. lol
 
I just wake right up. I like to have coffee in the morning but it's decaf due to my insomnia issues. Basically, once I wake up I am ready to go for the day, unless I am sick, then I am grouchy until the meds kick in
 
I don't typically need caffeine to wake up in the morning...it's my afternoon slump where I need a bit of caffeine!! I'm lucky enough that Claire crawls into bed with me most mornings and plays on the iPad while I take a few minutes to really wake up. It helps a TON not having to get out of bed immediately. :)
 
I usually get woken up around 6:30 by my kids. No need for alarm clocks here! If by some chance I'm up before they are, I like some quiet. There's not much of it after everyone's up. :)
 
I'm a get out of bed and I'm ready kinda person. I drink a cup of coffee in the morning, but it's not necessary.
 
sweet tea from mcdonalds. Dont drink coffee (YUCK!!!), can't drink soda and honestly now I stopped cant stand the way it tastes either. But I still usually need that kick of caffine to stay awake especiallt lately when I sleep only a few hours a day.
 
Vanilla Biscotti coffee and my laptop. Catch up on all my sites and no one talking to me and bugging me lol... leave me alone til I am done.
 
I love to be able to take a shower when I wake up to get some quiet time but that hardly ever happens as all my kids are already awake & wanting breakfast. Sometimes I can get away with grabbing my youngest out of her crib and snuggling her in my bed for a few extra minutes before she runs off - gotta love summer vacation! :)
 
I need quiet in the morning. I never get it, which is why I'm pretty grouchy most of the time. Ugh.
 
Coffee!!! I have two big mugs of it and then I'm good to go. It takes me about an hour to fully wake up (if I have an hour). On the mornings when I have to be somewhere I am good with just one cup of coffee in a travel mug. I am a morning person, and I have no problems getting out of bed, I am just dependent on my routine & caffeine.
 
I like to lay in bed for a while before I get up then I stumble out of bed and head for the fridge with my Diet Dr. Pepper. I'm not a morning person and never have been.
 
Ideally I would wake up before the kids, go to the bathroom shower, get dressed. But when my kids wake up at the break of dawn, none of that happens and I'm grumpy, but trying not to be. Then I have to rush to get breakfast made because the kids are starving (I wonder why when they don't ever eat much dinner!) and once they are finally washed up after breakfast I can enjoy my now cold breakfast while doing the Sunday crossword puzzle, etc. If I get my few minutes of peace there then I'm all right.
 
Phone goes off at 6:45 a.m. Hit 'snooze' and clutch phone in hand. Push Eliana over to DH's side of the bed. Pray that the world will end and/or money will begin to grow on trees. Fall asleep. Phone goes off at 6:55 a.m. Hit 'end' and stumble out of bed towards bathroom.

:p

I crack open the first Diet Coke when I get to my desk at work.
 
I stumble downstairs, turn on my Keurig and make a cup of coffee. I need it quiet and don't like to talk to people for at least 30 min.
 
I'm another night owl forced to be up early because of my kids. (I have one who rarely sleeps past 5, but luckily he's now old enough to play alone in his room for a while. It was rough when I had to get up with him every day!) Now I get up at 7 unless one of the other kids wakes before then, and I get out of bed by 7:15. I'm busy enough with the kids in the morning that I don't need coffee or anything. It's mid-afternoon when I need my coffee.
 
once I'm up.I'm up but I do need a cup of coffee or glass of tea before I start my day..I'm usually pretty grouchy for about 30 mins or so but after getting up then I'm usually good to go
 
sigh. i wish i liked coffee. i think it would help me out of my morning 30 min funk. then i could be annoying to dh from the get-go. :)
 
I am SO not a morning person. I drag myself out of bed, go directly to the kitchen and have some breakfast with caffeine. I don't drink coffee, so it's normally coke. I check my email, Facebook, and the forum and hope that no one bothers me. Lol. My oldest is getting pretty good at taking care of his brother and sister, so the mornings are definitely better than they used to be!
 
I go straight into the shower. I feel gross if I don't (even if I showered right before I went to bed - ha!). I don't drink coffee, but I need a Diet-whatever by about 10am.
 
Coffee on mornings when I don't wanna get up(90% of the time) and gym when I'm bouncing out of bed ready, full of steam(10% of the time). :)
 
I am definitely not a morning person- I need silence for the first 30 minutes or so. I usually get up after my 2nd alarm at 5:30, wake up mr. man to get our daughter ready and then I get ready for work. Most times I eat breakfast at work and I have to have a Coke to drink.
 
I lay in bed for about an hour with the boys and we watch TV. When we finally go downstairs, I grab a cup of coffee and fix them breakfast. I usually have 2-3 cups of coffee before I eat breakfast!!
 
Somedays I wish I drank coffee but I don't .. and I gave up caffeine so.. I'm usually okay unless one of the kids has an attitude and then I'm crankasaurus.
 
Vyvanse... LOL

seriously, I'd stay in bed all day if I could and if I miss my meds, it's impossible to get up and function when these kids get up at 5:30 everyday... Really wish they hadn't inherited their morning person trait from their daddy LOL
 
Can't have coffee anymore because of my gastritis attack, so I have a glass of wheatgrass/barley grass. I use a brand that flavors it with our local version of lemonade so it's sweet. It's a great energizer in the morning :)
 
I'm one of those that wakes up with no alarm - even if I have to get up at a certain time, I don't trust alarm clocks... it annoys me when hubby snoozes it... haha - alarm goes off, you get up...

otherwise, don't really need coffee... many times I will make coffee and then forget about it under the coffee maker - then put it in the microwave to reheat and will forget about it again... haha
