Morning people just have no clue and are totally unwilling to understand that not every one can get up and be at work at 7 a.m. Even if I could get up and be dressed and out of the door I wouldn't be able to function. My brain doesn't even work until at least 10 a.m. :confused3

I hope it doesn't get me kicked out of the Club but I will confess that I have been to a rope drop at MK AND for EMH at that. It was so out of character for me that my Mom was speechless. :rotfl: I could only do it for the MK though.

NOT. A. MORNING. PERSON. I don't call you at midnight, do not call me before
11am! Do not plan/schedule things for before 11am (if you expect me to be there) Yes, I know 10am is not that early, but were YOU up until 3am??? I've tried, but still have never made a Magic Kingdom opening ceremony and I really really want to. Doesn't that tell you something?

Add me to the club!!

Then again i have been to rope drop at every park (and most days i am on vacation) cause i have a 5 hour time difference. That makes getting up a 7am a lot more managable if it feels like 12! :rotfl:

[fakereadhed]

I should add this to my peeve list! No one gets it. It's very simple though...
NOT. A. MORNING. PERSON. I don't call you at midnight, do not call me before
11am!

We are the same way, and we keep DH up late even though he IS a morning person. Friends know NOT TO CALL US on weekends before 10am. Don't wake up the kids and ruin our chances to sleep in. I've told them sorry if you are jealous that your kids woke you up at 5am, but don't think that gives you the right to wake us up on the Saturday. So glad I don't have any cheery morning children. I don't think I could take it!

Favorite quote: "Our civilization would be extremely dull and sterile if we did not have and treasure people with Asperger Syndrome." --Tony Attwood

According to the theory of aerodynamics, and as may be readily demonstrated through experiments, the Bumble Bee is unable to fly.
This is because the size, the weight, and the shape of his body in relation to his wingspread make flying impossible.
But the Bumble Bee, being ignorant of these scientific truths, goes ahead and flies anyway - and makes a little honey everyday! ~~Author Unknown
