Aloha2U Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 finally get out of your pjs? I'm just curious if I'm the only one who likes to linger in her pajamas for a little longer than she should. Although I love getting up early, I'm not a morning person, so this is something I going to have to work on with only a few weeks left before we officially start our homeschool schedule.

Nestof3 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well, I ride my bike sometime in the morning, so when I'm done with that and my shower, I get dressed. Sometimes it's right before lunch. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Usually by mid to late morning. We don't get up really early here. So breakfast is anywhere between 8 and 9. Then we get started on lessons after that, usually by 930. After I have had my coffee and gotten them started on something they can do independently, I will hit the shower, on average around 1030.

Colleen Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm just curious if I'm the only one who likes to linger in her pajamas for a little longer than she should. I'm sure you're not the only one, but I'm not a lingerer myself. Just like I mentioned in another thread today, I don't like sleeping in; by the same token, I dislike hanging around in pajamas. This time of year, I usually just wear a t-shirt or tank top to sleep and I might first throw on some running shorts or warm-up pants with that for a short time first thing in the a.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 When I get up, I usually throw on some sweats, or a similar outfit for summer. I will wear that around the house forever unless we have something going on. And if we do go out, as soon as I get home, it's back into the sweats. My jammies, I ALWAYS have them 'on' ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too! Or whenever the toddler is napping! Sometimes a bit later.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaik76 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I get dressed the night before and sleep in my clothes (I actually do know some other people that do this!) unless I'm going to be wearing something nice. In the summer ds does this too because he usually wears shorts and t-shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashleen Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I lay out clothes the night before and get dressed immediately. Literally, as soon as my feet hit the floor, I am getting dressed. I don't even go down for coffee first. However, I like to put them on early in the evening. When we've had dinner and the dishes are cleared away, I put on my pajamas for the rest of the evening, even though I won't be going to bed for several hours. If I go somewhere in the evening, I change into pajamas the minute I get home. For me, getting dressed means it's time to get started and putting on pajamas means I'm "done."

3lilreds in NC Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I am trying to walk in the mornings, so I have to get into walking clothes, but if I don't walk I will hang out in my PJs for a lot of the day. I like to get a shower though and that becomes less likely as the day goes on, so I do try to get around before dh goes to work.... most days. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I am usually up early, but at this time of year (winter here) and am lingering in y PJs until 8am or so. But I like to be dressed for when school starts at 8.30. I find PJs dont put me in such a good frame of mind for the day- and I find the same with the kids, too, so I insist we are all dressed for schooltime unless someone is sick.

In the summer ds does this too because he usually wears shorts and t-shirts. I did that in college. People called me "sleep and wake girl" but I didn't care. I couldn't make a 7:30 class if I had to "get ready" in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I get dressed after I've been up a couple of hours. When we are doing school I make sure to be dressed before we start. We started homeschooling in first grade and I loved being able to wear pjs to school. Until I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realized this would be the vision ds had of his first grade teacher. Fuzzy hair and my saggy self in old sweats and holey t-shirt. Not pretty.

pbjmeyer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 we joke that pj's are our school uniform. I tend to shower and dress around lunchtime. My ds showers at night, so he may stay in pj's all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl in NM Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If I don't get dressed immediately out of bed then I'll wear them all day. Dh teases me sometimes when he gets home from work and I'm still in my pj. Although, it's a source of pride for him to be able to provide for us so that I CAN stay in my pjs all day if I want. Just don't tell anyone esle, okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have been known to get dressed as DH is making his way home. I make DD get dressed before school starts in the morning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennifersLost Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 In winter, right after I do my morning yoga/take a shower (within 30 minutes of getting up). In summer pretty much immediately because we're living in a house full of people! I sleep in so little I have to put on something anyway as soon as I'm running around the house. I may as well just get dressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalypso Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I am a get out of bed, brush my teeth ,and put my clothes on kind of gal. I don't like to stay in my pj's because it doesn't feel like we can start our school day if we aren't dressed and ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptwoman Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well *blush* it's 11am and I'm still in mine. I was just pondering getting dressed. Actually I said to DH that I stay in my PJs because I've run out of tidy casual clothes. My sweats are all stretched and ugly and my jeans are so big they fall down on me, so I just stay in my jammies. I need to go clothes shopping!

DB in NJ Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I wake up, get up, make the bed, and get changed. I usually wait until after my first cuppa to put in my contacts though. Unless I'm running first thing; then the contacts go in, the teeth get brushed, and out the door I go. Then I shower, change again, make the bed, then have my cuppa. My mother stays in her night gown all day long every Sunday. Makes me crazy. The only time I can do that is if I'm flat-on-my-back sick.

Aloha2U Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well, I'm trying to work on our morning schedule so that I'm up earlier. Although I PREFER to get up earlier, it's not necessarily the norm around here, KWIM? I shower at night before bed (hair and all) so when I wake in the morning I just brush teeth, wash face and go - getting dressed is usually later unless we have to go somewhere that day. One of my problems about staying in my pjs is that I like to eat breakfast and get the house picked up and vacuumed before I change my clothes, but if we start lessons at 8am that means I will have to push the chores to the afternoon or get up much earlier. I have a german shepherd who sheds all year around... so, ummm, I am a compulsive vacuumer (is that a word). I suppose in the end it will all work itself out, right? That is to say, getting dressed... I just need to do it! Wake up, brush teeth, wash face, breakfast, GET DRESSED, lessons, lunch, chores and errands, daddy gets home from work, dinner, dessert and family time, showers, PAJAMAS, read, and finally lights out? I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! :tongue_smilie: Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumndivona Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If I am good about working out, then it is around 8 or 8:30 a.m. If not, I will bum around in my PJs all day! Today was a hot and icky day, so I made very little effort to move at all. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakitty Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That would depend....am I going anywhere? Is anyone coming over here? Because...if no to both of those....I might just wear them all day long! LOL I look at it as saving on the laundry...:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth in IL Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 It depends on the day. I've stayed in my pjs all day long before. This year I plan on getting up before the kids and actually take a shower and get dressed before they wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommylawyer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 On my at-home days, I usually get dressed either just before breakfast or just before we start school (right after breakfast). In the warm months, that is. During the cold months, if I know we're not leaving the house, I tend to just change into fresh jammies.

OnTheBrink Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I shower as soon as I get up. I can't stand feeling icky and gross, so I rarely stay in my jammies after getting up, even on weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle T Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The only time I linger in pajamas is on the very rare occasions when DH is out of town, and then I feel free to lounge about a bit longer in my pj's. Otherwise, I like to get showered, dressed, made up and ready to go right away. Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in Orlando Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'm a slacker. I love my sleeping clothes - usually yoga pants and a t or cotton shorts and a t. I leave them on while I go through my morning routine - especially in the summer. I do our laundry in the garage and it's HOT out there. If we don't have to be anywhere, I get a shower mid-morning and change after I've done the sweaty stuff of the day. (Also, I have a kind of a petty thing going on with our mail lady. She's vocally anti-homeschool and nosy about my mail. I try to make it a point to be outside to greet her in my bathrobe or pj's every morning. Stupid, I know, but it makes me happy to make her crazy.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 On most days, I put my clothes on (and make my bed) before I leave my bedroom in the morning (I take my shower at night). But see, 'cuz I'm diligent about getting dressed, I earn a jammy day ever so often.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was the only one, Ashleen! I love, love, LOVE to put on pj's right after dinner - and now that dh works out-of-state, I do it more often. But don't ask me about the night that I was downstairs, heard a doorbell ring, and came upstairs to find our Pastor Emeritus visiting with dh. . . . :blushing: The Lord was working humility in me that night, for sure!

Melissa in SC Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 usually when i wake up, I change immediately or I may never LOL Really. I am pg and nursing and there are days when DH comes home and I'm still wearing jammies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I sleep in a tshirt and just slip jeans on when I get up. Then later if we're going somewhere, I change into going out (clean jeans, t, and bra type) clothes. Dd will stay in pj's until forced to change. ds12 changes as soon as his feet hit the floor and ds7 changes at random times, somedays early, somedays not till told to. ds2 changes when mom gets to him.

kristavws Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If we have to go somewhere, I shower and get dressed before the kids get up (between 7 and 7:30). If we do not have to go anywhere, I take a very quick shower and get dressed while the kids have their morning break at 10 am. So, most days, I am not dressed until 10 am :D Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in CA Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Don't know if I'm alone on this but -As soon as I get up I get dressed, I usually go for a run - so I put on my running clothes. Even if I don't run, I always change immediately - I own a robe, but never wear that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenschooler Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 During the cold months, if I know we're not leaving the house, I tend to just change into fresh jammies. mmmmm, that sounds good. I think I'm going to fake the flu this year, just so I can do that without having to explain myself. (Wait, didn't I say on another thread that I never lie to my kids? I didn't say I didn't lie to my dh, now, did I?) This is why I love homeschooling. Cold winter mornings, all cozied up at home with a hot breakfast and hot cocoa. Perfect.
