Your morning routine

[LAKE]

I see that some of you rise very early and are online. Are you at work this early or do you post at home before work?

What's your AM routine?

Mine is:
Up between 6:30 - 7am
Wake up kids if they're not already up (gotta get in training - school starts Wednesday)
Feed kids, make tea for me
Pack Pat's lunch if necessary
Read paper, eat breakfast
Shower between 8-10 depending on housework load

This will change as of Wednesday to get the kid's dressed, make sure they brush teeth, spike their hair and then leave for school by 7:40. Pick up other 2 carpool kids and hope they're actually ready on time to make it to school by 8.

Then, I'll go home, nap, and make Margaritas!!! [img]graemlins/martini.gif[/img]

The first alarm goes off at 5:30, then 5:45, then in 7 minute increments as I repeatedly hit the snooze button. Getting up is an extreme bitch.

Since I have my clothes ready, and I shave the night before, the morning shower and shave go rather quickly.

I let the dogs outside, feed them. Quickly put on my clothes, then spend the next 5 minutes chasing the dogs as they hide from their inevitable day in the kitchen.

Work begins at 7. I arrive promptly at 7:04, like clockwork. I log in, read the Wall Street, post a few times. Clean up email. Drink my Diet Mountain Dew and protein bar (I vow to give up the Dew). Mondays are grueling, so I probably spend more time doing nonessentials than I should.

Routine around here:

Awake sometime between 4:00 and 6:00. Trav generally gets up first. We have an alarm clock but I really can't remember the last time we used it.

When I get up, I make the coffee. (We have one of those new-fangled pots like Lan, but never use it. I had it set for a while, but it seemed like every other weekend Trav was turning the electricity off to rewire one thing or another, so I gave up.}

From the time we wake up until 6:15 or so, we play in the internet, separately. The computers are networked and within 5 feet of each other. [img]smile.gif[/img] Conversation is generally along the lines of "hey! Did you see ..... on (whatever site)?

About 6:30 I make breakfast for Trav while he get's ready for work. He's out the door by 7.

LOL! Sorry about that LAKE!

I just wanted to make sure that nobody went around thinking that I just poop and pee wherever. [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]confused.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

do you really brush your teeth twice in the mornings?

[cincygreg]

Not always.

Kinda depends.

But, I do brush them at least three times a day.

The worlds greatest invention fires up at 5:55 a.m., then the alarm clock at 6:00. Get up, start knocking on kids' doors to wake them up. Get coffee and cereal, knock on doors on the way back to the computer, sip & eat while checking news or posting. Get dressed and leave at 6:45 and drop kids off at high school on the way to work, arriving 25 minutes early at 7:35.

You won't believe this, but before school started my morning routine included a solid hour of yoga from 6 to 7 - check it out on cable channel 68. That kicked ass! No time for that now, not even for sweet Lilias from 6:30 to 7 on WCET... [img]graemlins/sleepy.gif[/img]

I got to work three minutes early today. A major accomplishment duly noted by a coworker.
