QOTD: Wed Nov 27: Morning routine.

[danger_dan]

I think we've all come to know each others SC routines fairly well...we can tell when and where other SCrs will be online to post.
But what about your offline day to day life...is your morning
Do you have a Morning Routine, or are your mornings different each day?

Yawn......morning routine...let's see.....Wake up...snuggle Jenny...check the time and decide if I actually want to get up then or not; if not, hug Jenny to sleep again (she sleeps thru all the snuggles)..hubby hasn't stirred, yet...fall asleep...repeat. And repeat until the time feels right to get out of bed.
At that time, pull back the covers so that Jenny can get that look of panic on her face and scramble as if her life depended on it, back under the covers to go back to sleep. Close the door so that both of them can stay asleep, turn on the coffee pot that hubby always prepares the night before, turn on the tv to CTV to see if all's well in Canada, then to HLN because it's a fun channel and I love watching Robin and Bob.
And that's it until I decide to make breakfast...and wait until my two critters wake up...have another coffee with hubby, chat about our plans for the day, put Jenny outside, then she's on my lap on our fuzzy blanket, folded over her (as we are right now)' fast asleep once again................

Yes...retirement has it's advantages...

Mornings pretty much the same every day...

Get up, put coffee on, dress up, snuggle kitties til coffee is ready.
Get on computer, check local and national morning news and weather first, then find tv shows from last night that I missed and get one started so I can watch/listen to as I surf.
SC is first stop, then emails and other sites.

At 6 a.m. wake up husband, get second cup of coffee... and get on with the day.

If it's a weekday, my alarm goes off. I hit snooze (three times!). Get up. Feed the cats because otherwise they'll kill me for canned food (the dry left overnight isn't palatable enough for them - snobs!). Grab a shower. Check out my favourite websites while my hair becomes less damp (it would take three hours with a blow-dryer if I didn't let it at least dry a bit). Do my make-up, get dressed and ready for work. Make coffee in a travel mug. Head out the door.

If it's a weekend... anything goes. Wake up when I want. Get showered and dressed when I want. But there is always coffee...

My mornings are pretty much the same during the week
Alarm goes off and I curse myself for not going to bed on time . Roll out of bed and go do my hair & makeup while fighting with our great dane for space in front of the heat register in the bathroom Go wake DH up, get dressed, let the dogs out, make DH & I lunches and then DH drops me off at work on the way to his work. At work I grab a coffee and read the news, new posts on blogs I follow and of course SC.

Well my routine changed drastically last week because my DD started at a new school and is no longer eligible for busing so now I drive her.

Wake up at 6:30, DH goes into shower first then, DS, then I go and then DD. Feed them then I take DS and DD to school at 8:10. Back by 9:15 and then have breakfast.

[VeeVee]

Weekdays are the same - wake up at 525am, shower, fiance wakes up at 545. I make us coffee and breakfast for him, we watch breakfast television, chat, snuggle with the dog. He leaves I do my hair, makeup, take care of the dog, make breakfast for myself, snuggle the dog again and leave for work. At work I log on to SC lol

[danger_dan]

alarm goes off at 5:55, i hit snooze...goes off again at 6:04...i hit the shower, make breakfast and lunch for the lady, make breakfast on the go for myself, get dressed/finish up in the bathroom, wake the lady up, kiss her good bye, and out the door.

..At work I log on to SC lol

ahaha...SC is my first stop in the morning too

[snuffaluffagus]

DH cuddles me awake between 5-5:30 every morning. I stay in bed until he makes us our coffees, get up, let the dogs out, and make DH breakfast and lunch. Once he's on his way, if I don't decide to head back to bed, I do a load of laundry, dishes/clean kitchen, then take the dogs out for their walks which pretty much takes me to lunch time. This morning was an exception as I had to scrub the fridge and kitchen floors down....I spilled a dish of fish oil and it splattered all over the place...ugh, the smell was too much so early in the day .

[coyote00]

DH usually gives me a kiss and lets me know he is off to work. Then our rotti Matte jumps in bed with me to snuggle. After about 1/2 hr I usually wake up because Matte is hogging the bed and decide it is time to get up. Next stop, coffee and SC to catch up.

The rest of the day is not scheduled, different plans everyday.

[TaraF]

I wake up to cat butt in my face. What a lovely view first thing in the morning lol But I actually lay in bed for 5 minutes doing deep breathing. Then I sit up in bed very slowly and dangle my feet off the bed while wiggling them for 2 minutes and let my feet hit the floor slowly. I have severe morning nausea (due to meds) and orthostatic hypotension so my blood pressure drops if I get up too fast from a seated or laying position to a upward position. So this is my morning routine to try and curb my nausea and avoid a blood pressure drop when I get up. As much as you'd think that falling out of bed first thing in the morning is fun, it isn't. lol

Aside from that the rest of my morning goes according to how I am feeling. BUT whether it's a good day and I'm mobile or a bad day and I'm in bed a while you can bet I have my laptop or cell phone and jumping online to check the weather lol

[Crochetlady]

Get up whenever I happen to wake up. Have breakfast while I check my emails and then get on SC to see what everyone is up to. The rest of the day could be anything.
