What is your morning routine (inspired by first drink of the day)

[dvcfamily41801]

For me I get up at 6:40am go downstairs and get my cup of coffee and sit under a blanket and watch the last few minutes of the news and then the first few minutes of the Today show. Gotta start off my day with Matt & Katie Most mornings DS will come down and sit with me. Then I head upstairs after Al gives the weather, grab my shower while DS gets dressed watching TV. After I am all done, we head down have breakfast and we are out the door by 8:20am.

DH comes to wake me up around 5:40 every weekday morning and I head off to the shower. Then I let the dog out, grab a cup of coffee, pack school lunches, clean the cat litter, do make-up, make sure the kids are reminded of homework, etc. Then I head out the door at 6:50.

I hate weekdays!

Up at 6:30 make DH lunch(the coffee is set the night befor to come on at 6:30) than watch a little tv while he gets ready. Once he is out of the bathroom I brush my teeth, than give him a kiss after he leaves around 7:20 I than log on to the DIS.

It depends... I work part time, so if it is a work day, I get up at 5:15, shower while the coffee is brewing, get dressed, then feed the kitties and scoop their litter box. Pack my lunch while my oatmeal cooks (I nuke it), then eat oatmeal while I check email. Give Max (our Schnauzer) his morning treaties while I'm eating. Let him out, brush my teeth, and head out the door for work by 6:40.

If it ISN'T a work day... the same routine applies except it doesn't start until 7 or so (after DH is up and gone to work, usually) and I don't pack a lunch. I'll watch the Today show whilst tending to various household chores after eating breakfast. Then I'm off to run errands or whatever.

Since I have been on maternity leave I wake up around 6am brush my teeth and get DD ready for school & feed DS. I turn on the computer to DIS. Then DH comes home around 730am and takes DD to school which is 10 minutes away. I then watch Good Morning America 7-9am, Regis and Kelly 9-10am, Judge Greg Mathis 10-11am, then Ellen 11-12pm. By then I have played & fed DS and put him down for his nap.

Now that I will be returning to work on Monday, I will wake up around 4am workout, shower and put on my uniform. By 5am get DD ready for school & feed DS. By 6am I will drive to DH's job drop the kids off and go to work from there. I'm so not looking forward to going back to work, but hey I have one and a half years left on my military contract and I will be say adios to Uncle Sam and moving to Florida to start life all over again.

My routine used to be very simple. I'd get up at 8:00, eat breakfast, take a shower, get dressed, and head out the door at 9:15 to be at work about 9:45 or so. The store opens at ten.

Now that I have a part time night job as well, I now get home at 3:30 a.m., fall asleep at 4:00 a.m., wake up at 9:00 a.m., take a FAST shower, use sonic speed to get dressed, then leave at 9:15 a.m. for my full time job. This has only been going on for a week, and it's hard-hard-hard. YAWN!

Up at 4.30 am...shower, take "sparky' out to do his duty, set the alarm for my DW...then head off to work by 5.15am...

 

[CajunDixie]

I am sooooooooo not a morning person!! DH wakes me at 5:20 to pack his lunch and nuke him some sort of breakfast....I just grab whatever is closest to the front of the freezer. DH feeds all the pets and lets the dog out when he starts his van. Then I go back to bed until my alarm goes off at 6:06...unless we have bad weather then its set for 6:00 so I can hear school delays. Wake older DS then go back to bed. Reset my alarm for 7:10. Get up at 7:10 and send younger DS to the shower...he never needs woken up. For some unknown reason older DS insists on waking up at 6ish even though his bus doesnt come until at least 7:20. Younger DS usually does homework after he's done showering.....he's a morning kid so I dont push him to do homework at night anymore. Younger DS gets on his bus at 8:00. I then either shower and dress and leave for work by 8:50 or kick back and relax with a coke and check email then shower.

<font color=navy>Usually up between 4:30 & 5am, get kids up at 5:30, and we're out of the house by 6:30 - I drop one off at the bus stop (in front of our church) for his high school, and drop the other off at her school. I get to work normally by 7am. Then I wake up.

 

[DocRafiki]

What are these numbers I keep seeing? 4:30? The only time i see that hour is when it's at the END of the day! You guys who get up early to work out are my heroes!

My work schedule just changed, and I will be heading in at NOON on most days. So much for trying to get over being a late-nighter.

I don't even have a morning routine. I'm trying to work on getting up early enough to actually have one.

 

[Jasminesmommy]

You all can envy me. i get up at 7:30 am to get daughter up and dressed for her 7:45 bus ( she won't eat breakfast in the morning so don't send me evil mom messages) then i am back in bed till 12 when my son gets up to feed him then back to bed till 1:30pm when I have to get my daughter so my day really begins about 2. But I pay for it at night cause I am up till about 3

DH and usually I are up at about 4:45 am (workdays).

If I am not up at 445, it is 6:15 or so.

If I am up early, I get to see my DH off (he leaves the house at 6 am ish). If I am also up early, I will make his lunch and sit with him as he eats breakfast.

If I get up later, I will get up, sometimes do school work, sometimes do Ebay, sometimes DIS. Then I wake kids up, get dogs out, and other various sundry things.. (which usually includes doing a load of laundry or other stuff like that), and I am out the door with two kids by 845. I drop them off to school, and I go to the post office (for Ebay) before I go to work. I am usually at work early.

I'm up at 5:00. Hop in the shower while the coffee brews, finish shower and get hair and makeup done. Usually done by 5:20 and then I have 2cups of coffee while I DIS. Wake up DH by 5:55, take the dog out and feed her and then get DH's lunch ready. Wake up DD at 6:30 and get her breakfast ready. Youngest DD usually gets up about 6:45 and I get her breakfast and then clean up the kitchen, help DD with her hair and getting everything for school. We leave the house at 7:15 so I can pick up 2 other kids and bring them to school(they have music lessons before school). I find I am up between 5-5:30 even on the weekends. I'm just a little slower about hopping in the shower.

I wake up at 6:30 and wake ds(13) up. Then go to dd(11) room and give her her meds. Go downstairs to let the dog out, log on to check my emails and DIS for a minute or so, head back upstairs to give dd(11) a bath and get her dressed for school. Go up to dd(16) and wake her up. Bring dd(11) down, dry her hair, get her food ready and let her watch tv until the van comes to pick her up. By then ds has left for school, go back to dd(16) and see if she's rolled out of bed yet usually she hasn't. Then come downstairs, grab my coffee and DIS until the van comes for dd(11), take her out, come in and, you guessed it DIS some more. It's my favorite time of day, after the morning rush and the house is quite I can drink my coffee and DIS. AHHHHHH........

Then I get my shower, get dressed and head to work if it's a work day or start on cleaning or whatever around the house if it's not. Those days I spend quite a bit of time on the computer.
