how do ya get your day started?

kupdike · March 2011

was just thinking about me & H's early morning regimes....

So...my curiousity was peaked...do you watch - or listen to morning news when you wake up/get ready for work or what gets you ready for your day?

H & I, we are a little different.

I like GMA - (altho - i so miss charlie, diane & chris so much!! - BUT i still have robin & sam - so i'm ok....Ugh...but hello - george stephanopoulos - he still has some warming up to do wit me)

Back on subject - H gets his morning going with a hot cup of jo and CMT music videos.

how about yoiu ladies?

well i'm a little different because i don't have a ton of getting ready to do since i work at home.

but like this morning i woke up (no alarm, i just wake up when i'm rested - hee hee! today it was 8). checked my email in bed through my iphone. then showered and dressed. i turned on my computer while i was getting ready. now i'm eating breakfast and nesting, etc. i just turned on the tv. i watch inside edition at 9 :-)

Straight into the shower, feed cats, local news on TV while drying my hair, clothes, makeup, lunches, out the door.

I get up and shower and start to get ready.

If Ava wakes up while I'm in the shower H will start to get her ready but if not then he hops in the shower and I try and finish while she's sleeping.

Then change, lotion, put on clothes and usually the nose sucker since H isn't good at it haha

Then we have a morning ritual where I put her in her carseat and take at least 3 pictures with my phone before buckling her in.

H gets Parle situated and I get her bag and we head out the door.

We never turn on the tv because otherwise we'd get distracted and run late haha

If I work out, that's the first thing I do - get on the elliptical and catch up on my DVR...then hop in the shower. Otherwise it's straight to the shower. I get dressed, do my hair and makeup. I either check facebook/email while I'm eating breakfast, or I check and then eat breakfast while I watch some TV...normally The Today Show. I take the dog out and then leave...but normally I have a good half hour or so of TV time before I leave, I like to take my time in the morning.

kupdike · March 2011

oh my ---- love you cole! but you just gave me a serious reality check....how more simple can my am be? no baby - ugh. i feel selfish for our GMS /CMT mornings now. but honestly, that would definitely make my morning everyday

BMWwife · March 2011

If its one of the mornings I work I get up at an obscene hr shower, dress, hair and makeup before I even go downstairs. Then I go downstairs let Raven out, feed her, pack my lunch, put Raven back out, eat a small snack, let raven back in, and then I u zsually have 15-20 mins of tv and internet time.

If I am off raven wakes me around 730 for breakfast and potty. Then I have a bad habit of going back to bed. I usually get out of bed around 930, spend way too much time in front of the computer and tv. Then get a shower and get dressed. Then I wonder where the day had gone. Lol

I get up an get Bruno outside to go to the bathroom and then I work out. After that I shower, eat breakfast, drink a cup of tea and on every day, but Friday I have about half an hour between when DH leaves and when I need to leave. I either read or scrapbook in that time.

DH gets up does yoga and then meditates for about 20 minutes. He then showers, breakfast and tea.

I usually lay in bed for 30 (or 45) minutes, and then jump up and frantically get ready. I usually listen to a local Top 40 station on the radio. Included in the routine are: showering, drying hair (if time), dressing, eating breakfast, feeding Tyler breakfast (if he wakes up), getting lunch ready (if time), and running around looking for my keys for about 5 minutes before I dash out the door.

xDanniellex · March 2011

Well since I'm a SAHM my routine is pretty much focused around the little man. He usually wakes up around 7am, so I change him and feed him in our bed. Put him back in his crib and try to squeeze out about 45 minutes of rest while he plays in his crib.

Then it is morning PBS cartoons and toys for him while I check stuff online.

starletcarly · March 2011

After snoozing for as long as possible, I get up, shower immediately, get ready then eat breakfast, finish getting ready and leave. I only take 1-1 1/2 hours to get ready...so no tv, reading or any other distractions. I'd rather sleep in as late as possible.

I also don't drink coffee and love that I don't have to rely on caffeine to get my going each morning.

x.starshine.x · March 2011

*alarm* and I get on my phone immediately. I check twitter, FB, emails, texts and my horoscope. Then I get up and brush teeth, do my hair and makeup, get dressed and grab some breakfast. I feed and put the dog away and Im out the door.

Sometimes I have Pandora on while I get ready. No tv

H waits until he has to be at work in 10mins to get up. He throws clothes on and he lets Cooper out. Grabs his lunch and he's gone.

(BTW we pack lunches and shower the night before)

sleep until i hear H get up to get in the shower or until I hear Bennett stir. usually around the same time. today that was 745am. H got in the shower and B started yelling. he's developed a fun aversion to having his diaper changed, so i get him happy with his milk cup for a bit, then change him out of his diaper and jammies into his outfit for the day. today we kinda chilled on the couch with some Today Show since he got up a bit early. we're teaching him to jump and also his body parts, so we worked on that a bit. he likes to show me where my nose is. and his "jumping" is hilarious. then, H takes the dog out and takes the trash out. i get B's lunch ready and his bag for the day and we all head out the door. i take B to the sitter's house and H goes to work. i head back home to work. except today i had to pick up stuff at my dad's house and then we went for coffee at Panera. then home

Since I SAH most days, there is no real routine unless we have an early morning doctor appointment for me or Gabby to get to. In that case it usually goes like this: alarm goes off, snooze, snooze, snooze, snooze (yeah really lol), up and open the curtains/blinds around the house, shush the cat for the 100th time, grab a bowl of cereal while checking email or FB or whatever, tell J to wake up for the 100th time, go in and wake Gabby, deal with a toddler who is NOT a morning person and refuses to get out of bed, ending half the time in her crying while I take off her PJs and diaper, get in the shower with Gabby, J meanwhile is slowly getting up, turning on godawful VH1 music videos, he takes her after the shower and gets her dressed in something I picked out while I dry my hair (if I am drying it at all that day), put on makeup, get dressed myself, meanwhile he is also packing her snacks or lunch and checking her diaper bag, getting himself showered/dressed while she watches PBS cartoons - one of us will make her breakfast in there somewhere, then it's time to run out the door - whether J is heading to work or coming with us... it's always a frantic morning. We are not morning people.

On days that I SAH and J works the day shift (he rotates between days/nights/doubles), I am usually asleep until 9 or so depending on when Gabby wakes up. J wakes at 9 in order to grab breakfast/caffeine, and dress for work. When I wake, I usually lay in bed checking email, FB, twitter, whatever on my iphone, then eventually get up and make coffee (if it's a coffee kind of day), let Gabby have a few minutes of her own time in bed if she is awake (see above...) while I inhale a snack or breakfast (darn pregnancy!) before going in to wake her. I will drink coffee while making her breakfast, feeding her, and I will watch the Today show while she plays around/we read books/etc. Shower comes next for both of us, and then she usually watches one show on PBS while I get dressed for the day. Just a general idea... it changes every day tho. No routine here. And it's about to get alllll kinds of jacked up with a new baby.

buckswife08 · March 2011

notice there is no mention of me showering/makeup/getting dressed. i look like a mess all day. i typically have time for a shower in the evenings. i pretty much live in yoga pants.
