If I slept well, I'm not. I was two mornings ago. I was dreaming about getting it on with the high school principal and the alarm went off. What does it take to ungrumple me? Two cups of coffee and a silent wife.

I love the fact you created your own word! It is totally understandable and acceptable in my world. :) With that in mind, I am quite the contrary. I am a Merlinasize (the pronunciation spelling) the day sort of being. I greet every day with happy thoughts and good vibes anticipating the adventures it will bring.
Now, about degrumpinizing the person sleeping next to me, well, there are many means in which to do this. Never let the alarm clock wake them. It is rude and obnoxious. Who wants to start their day with a bell or music blaring at them? A cup of coffee in bed, a kiss from your favorite pooch, or a purr in the ear is much better. Make sure they are awake with enough time to enjoy a few moments. Take in the sunrise. Enjoy coffee/tea, peacefully. Maybe stretch. Go for a run or a swim. Whatever sets the mood for the day. Don't start behind the gun. Know what they are going to wear the night before so they don't frantically look for socks! The best of all to relax and degrumpinize in the morning, if you have the option, is sex. It definitely sets for a "Happy Happy Mood" throughout the day.

No. I don't want to talk in the morning and, for heaven's sake, don't start asking me questions in the morning. When my kids were little they would come in very early to let me know that since they were awake, we must all be awake. I remember them starting with the questions. I learned to say to them: Go back into your room and watch that skinny hand on your clock that goes the fastest....when it has gone around 10 times then I want you to come back in here. Usually they were back in five minutes but, sometimes that is just enough.
