Carrie12345 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 This morning, it was letting the dogs out, since dh was not home. Usually, it's the bathroom, then coffee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2cents Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Scoop the litterbox and feed the cats. They are very demanding and schedule oriented and will follow me around meowing and acting up if I don't do this stuff right away at the same time EVERY single morning. I haven't slept in since I've had a cat as a pet! If I try to sleep in, they will get up on the bed and tap me with their paws.

lllll Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Take out the dog. She has to be on a leash so she won't be eaten by whatever's out there; which means I have to actually go outside in the snow or rain or cold ... But she's worth it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBM Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm up at 5:00 every morning. The first thing I do is turn off my alarm clock, or dh will give me a kick! After that I put on my workout clothes, get my coffee and go online while I wait for the caffeine to kick in. Then, I run on the old dreadmill. That is what I do just about every morning.

snickelfritz Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) coffee and take medication that must be taken 1 hr before eating. I've not investigated whether the medication should not be taken with coffee. It doesn't say anything on the bottle, so we'll assume it's fine.

plain jane Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I get up and make sure dh gets off to work with everything he needs. Then I go and nurse the baby, who by now is waiting for me, and we lay and snuggle together for darn close to an hour. It's like baby's cup of java... won't get up without it. ;) This time together is pure bliss and reminds me each morning of what's really important in life. :001_wub: It's a good chunk of my morning routine, but I'll sure miss these days when they're gone. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impish Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 There's no 'sure' morning start. This am, it involved coffee, trading snapping comments with Wolf (I *hate* mornings that start like that...He's miserable in the am, and I'd decaffeinated, so it really doesn't go well). Other ams, I'm woken by the Littles crashing into my room. Another few years, and they'll be able to do breakfast completely unaided and Mommy will get to sleep til at least 8am. That's the dream, anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My middle child will sneak into my bed sometime in the early morning and watch the clock until 0700. Once he woke me up with these words, "Mom...I let you sleep in this morning, its 7:05." They just don't understand how much I need my sleep... When they're all teenagers, I have plans to wake them all up very early as payback (that's my evil dream).

T'smom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 We're not morning people at our house. I don't get up until my 2yo wakes me up and he does that by climbing into my bed with a book! He usually doesn't wake up until 8:30-9:00 and we read until either I HAVE to go to the bathroom or he wants breakfast. Usually we read about 45 minutes. And while, yes, that IS usually as wonderful as it sounds- 45 minutes is a LOT of Curious George! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Stumble to the coffee pot after using the bathroom. Then I poke my head into dh's office (spare room) and say good morning. Head to the computer and veg out while the coffee kicks in. Dh will come and kiss me good morning and I'll grumble something back. I usually feed the cat, I think, it's kind of an unconscious habit, he has me trained. The dog doesn't even wake up until 8am, ds a little earlier than that. The time change really messed with the dog, she wanted to know why I was in her room so early. Yes, she has her own room in the sunroom.

dirty ethel rackham Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Either take my thyroid meds then go to the bathroom or go to the bathroom and then take my thyroid meds - depending on how urgent the bathroom need is;). Then I get dressed to work out. Sometime, about 45 minutes after I am out of bed, I am actually coherent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliveview Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 As my eyes open, I try to decide if I am awake or asleep and why is there at least one child talking and very awake...right. in. my. face. I then stifle the urge to beat my dh in the head for passing on his early morning genetics to "my" three children! :lol: If it is at least 5:00 am, I get up and go to the bathroom. If it is before, I chose to believe it is a dream/nightmare, ignore the chatter from the small person, roll over, and go back to sleep!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I go to the bathroom, then let the dogs out to do the same. Then I hit the computer or the shower depending on the day until I am awake enough to not snap at the kids. I enjoy my cup of decaf coffee a little later in the morning.
