First words
Ok, I have a theory, and I want to test it.
What's the first thing you say OUT LOUD in the morning? I suggest that the first words you say out loud in the morning say A LOT about the kind of person you are...
Now, for me, it's almost exactly the same thing every morning. See, I get up at 5am, quietly so as to not wake up the hubby. I put on my slippers sweatpants and open the bedroom door to release the dogs from our bedroom, where they sleep. Not on the bed, that's rude, but I digress...
Out in the dining room, I grab my jacket, it's winter in Minnesota, after all. Zip up, grab one of the kids' hats, if it's nearby, basically, bundle up...
I take them out the back door, light a cigarette, and open the gate into the back yard for them to go potty. I look at the stars (unless it's cloudy, which it has been quite a bit lately, again, digression!) and I smoke one cigarette. Takes about 5 minutes. At this point, I still have not said a word out loud. Lots of thoughts going through my head, thinking about my day, what's going on, what work will be like, if there's anything on the calendar for the afternoon, stuff like that.
When I finish my cigarette, I finally speak: "C'mon girls"
See, I'm done out there, it's cold, I want to go back in. They are usually dilly-dallying, playing in the snow, and of course, TCOB... but they're never ready when I am.
My first spoken words are those of impatience.
Patience is a virtue. A virtue I am not blessed with.
Now, I'd like anyone and everyone who reads this to think about it... first words you speak OUT LOUD most mornings... and does it "fit" you? I think it's sweet if someone out there says "I say "I love you" to the person next to me"... but sometimes, that's just not practical. Such is the case in my life. I get up at 5, hubby doesn't have to get up til after 6... I refuse to wake him up just to tell him I love him... he knows. But if y'all out there wake up together and exchange sweet nuthins first off, great, good for you... maybe a tinge of jealousy here, but whatever.
So, anyone else wanna share? Whatcha blabbin' first off? Does it describe you at all?

Being in a relationship is hard work, believe I have been in the hard for sometime now.
And the biggest mistake for me has always been not speaking up until it has burnt me up inside. And by that point I am pissed and ready to fight.
Talking about things before they are boiling over is usually the way to go.
I always make it a point to kiss the wife goodbye in the morning because I am always the one out the door before anyone else is awake.
I say "get back!" because I feed my dogs first thing in the morning and they all want to put their noses in their bowls-which spills the food all over the floor...
I also speak very little when I wake, usually to do my yoga routine, other times simply to press cancel on my alarm and to sleep a little more because we had a bad night with my 2 year old daughter. I try to stick to the routine though.
Anyway, my first words are usually to my husband, to tell him that he must get up, or if I got up first to listen for our daughter. Sometimes if she had a good night, she will wake first and my first words will be to tell her to come lie with us as she pads into the room.
I think my words count as family words, or think for everyone words, because that is usually what I do. But first words are not that important to me, because they are usually to get everyone up and going, it is the next set that counts: How did you sleep? And those words are all about love and caring for the other person....
