As Paula Abdul said, somewhere in the 90's, opposites attract. That is definitely true with Brent and I. I do not possibly have enough time in my day to list them all for you, okay maybe I would but I'll spare you all. Anyway, the biggest difference is that Brent is a morning person and I. Am. Not.
He usually bounces out of bed happy and ready to face the day. I, on the other hand, drag my butt out of bed around 4:30 to make him coffee, breakfast and pack his lunch. Then as soon as he's out the door, I sprint back to bed. And even on those odd days that I do wake for the day it is very rare that I'm happy before I've had 30 minutes to shake off the wakey time yucks.
Yesterday morning I was up before Brent. I know! SHOCKER! Well, I'm a night person and as it turns out I've met my soul mate in the night person department and she lives in my time zone! So, we yakked on the phone. All. Night. Long. Have I mentioned that I have yet to meet her person? Well, we're officially meeting tomorrow, but we have a really good foundation for our friendship.
Anyway, my point is that I was already up so I made my hubby a wonderful quiche for breakfast, packed his lunch, and I start his vehicle. Name you, this is all stuff he would gladly do for himself, but I like to cook for him, and well, I think I have some lazy bum guilt. Lucky guy!
Much to his dismay, this morning he wasn't quite as lucky. He got a bowl of cold cereal, some coffee, and I did start the car. However, he almost lost his head.
Early in our marriage Brent learned some tricks of the trade from my father. Goodness. Somedays they are much too much alike for my own liking or good. For about the first 5 years of our marriage Brent woke me up nearly every morning by crowing like a rooster. AND for added effect he does it while simultaneously clicking the light switch on and off. Not a good way to wake out of a nice, comfy sleep! lol.
While he refrained from crowing this morning, which he still does much too often, he woke me as his normal chipper self, and offered me advice. Oh, heck no! Again, another tip picked up from my father. I don't think I'll let them play together anymore. So, here I sit, blogging, waiting for him to leave so I can sprint back to bed!
Have a happy day!

Hehe, my husband is a total morning person too. I am not at all! He knows better on the weekends then to attempt to wake me up ;) You are a much better woman than I am though, I don't get up to pack a lunch or start a car for ANYONE LoL
And I'd have to say, if husband crowed like a rooster, I'd kill him Lol ;)
Have fun meeting a new friend! YAY! :)
And yet another night owl reports in... Although lately I'm not up too late (a toddler in the house seems to have temporarily curtailed that) and hubby is up all hours. :-P
