Do you get up early..

[agentpleakley]

Yes. I hate to be rushed and I HATE to be late.

Ditto!

 

[Pooh67_68]

We get up at 5:45 m-f and every other sat. John doesn't have to rush and is to work on time. I get up with him to start the coffee and pack his lunch, then I get my house cleaning done.

 

[Gagirl69]

Nope- I rock and roll in the morning- no time for mistakes!!!

My alarm starts going off at 6:45
I get out of bed at 7:15
Do my stuff - out the door for 7:45
Get to work for 8!

My husband does all his morning stuff in 15 minutes!

We are not morning people!

Yeah, pretty much sums me up. I am NOT a morning person. I get up at the last possible minute.

 

[PatsGirl]

I give myself an hour to get ready, from bed to car. It's plenty of time for me but lately my preteen is doing the "I have nothing to wear to school today..." routine She picks her clothes out the night before but then doesn't like the look in the am. This is causing serious am issues which slows me down and puts me in a less than sunny mood. And it cuts into my DISing time too!

 

[JVL1018]

No way-I love sleep, hate mornings and am queen of using my time wisely in the am.
When I worked, I would shower and dry and straighten my hair at night(takes about 45 minutes-there is no way I am wasting sleep time on that), the next morning I would wake up, and be ready to walk out the door in 20 minutes.

My husband gets up like an hour early and eats breakfast(I never did), reads the paper, relaxes.
If I did that I'd keep looking at the clock-30 more minutes until I have to leave..20 more minutes until I have to leave 8 more minutes until I leave, 3 more minutes until I leave..I can't relax like that, it makes me antsy to be all ready to go and then just sit around.
Once I'm up I just wanted to get going, get to work and start my day.

 

[Feralpeg]

Unless I have something special going on, I normally go to bed about 1am and get up around 9am.

 

[JimFitz]

Up, showered, coffee'd, and out of the house in 20 minutes.

 

[ThreeMusketeers]

Sometimes, I get up early..Sometimes, I sleep in. (???) I live on the Wild side... Never can guess what I will do next. LOL

 

[gate_pourri]

I cannot believe the people that get up 2+ hours early... I am lucky if I have 20 min. in the morning before I leave.

My typical morning:
7AM - Alarm goes off - I swear at it and hit snooze
7:08AM - Snooze goes off - I swear at it again and hit snooze again
7:16AM - Snooze goes off AGAIN - I swear even louder (in my brain...) and hit snooze AGAIN
7:24AM - Snooze decides to be a PITA and goes off again... - Dang, this thing won't quit... But... I drag my sorry butt outta bed (although sometimes I push it: and hit snooze again!)
7:50AM - Must leave my condo and catch the bus

Luckily, I live less than 1 mile from my office, so... when I really don't want to get up a cab from my place to work is only $6 with the bus costing $2 so it isn't a huge difference for an extra 10 min. of sleep

 

[Tinkerbelle's Mom]

Before DD I was not a morning person and would/could get ready in less than 30 minutes. So for a workday I would get up about 8:15 and be at my desk at work by 9.

After dd I am very much a morning person. My dd is an ealry riser and has always been one. On the flip side she enjoys going to bed early as well. It has taken time to get me this way.

Now I get up at 6:30 dd is at school by 8:30 and I am at work by 9.

 

[Keli]

I get up an hour and a half before I need to leave for work and I'm still pushing it every morning!
I just can't get moving very fast in the morning.
I get up and pray/read, then I hit the shower, get dressed, fix hair, then I cook breakfast for dd and I, then I pack our lunches and snacks.
I think I do get up early enough, I just move too slow in the mornings. I'm always tired in the mornings and yet I do try to get enough sleep.

 

[Serena]

I have to be at work by 7:15. It takes 45 minutes if I'm not in a hurry. I get up between 5:30 and 6, depending on if I can make myself get up or not. I shower, get dressed, minimal makeup, and my hair is wonderful. All I have to do is fluff it with my hands on the way to work and it's styled.
I sometimes don't get back home until 11pm from school, and it takes some time to fall asleep. I don't get up any earlier than I have to.

 

[Uuaww]

I am up at about 930... and for a recent college graduate without a job... that is VERY early.

 

[HARASW]

I wake up at 3:55 every morning. I prepare breakfast for everyone and then wake my DD for work at 4:15. Wake DH at 5 and DS gets up at 6 for school. The only day I sleep in is Saturday, she works Sundays, too.

 

[rubiksolved]

i get up late... cause im a heavy/sluggish sleeper.... : /
i wish i had the motivation to get up earlier so i'm not as rushed..

 

[suzimar57]

have always awakened early - started in childhood

DH has to be at work 6am - so we're up at 430am

even on weekend.

and vacation.

yep - that's us there, waiting for the PC food court to open....

 

[cccm]

I am up on weekdays @ 5:00 AM. It has been getting closer to 4:00 AM for some reason my body won't let me sleep.

Shower
Pack DD and DH lunch
Get out DD and DH breakfast
Prep anything needs for dinner
Pack my breakfast and lunch
Clean kitchen table, do laundry, check emails (I allot about 15 minutes)
Do hair, makeup
Kiss DH and out the door at 6:30, to work by 7:30

Most days I don't see DD until 5:30 when I pick her up at my sisters

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

For work or whatever so you don't have to rush around like a lunatic?

I always have.. I absolutely hate having to rush first thing in the morning..

I have everything ready the night before so when I get up it takes me maybe 30 min to get ready and out the door. I get up at 5. Honestly I should exercise in the morning but then I would need to get up even earlier.

 

[NMAmy]

yep - that's us there, waiting for the PC food court to open....

That's one reason we like the Dolphin. The cafeteria is open 24 hours.

I love mornings. It's really my favorite time of day. Even on the weekends, DH and I get up early and do all the chores before most folks are up.

I have to be to work at 7:30. I get up at 5:00 and putter around at my own pace and don't have to rush.

Today is Sunday and I was up at 3:40 am. Okay, that's a bit early even for me but the ironic part is that I woke up from a nightmare that I was late to work because I overslept--which I've NEVER done. After that scare, I couldn't go back to sleep.

 

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

M-F the alarm sounds around 6am. I wake DD (takes a good 30 minutes to rouse her). I spend about 30 minutes on the computer reading the news and checking my checking account....it used to be the only time I could get on the computer, when we had just one (now there are 4!).

Weekend I'm awake by 7am, most of the time. The dog needs to be left out and I'm the first one up.
