How do you start your day?

Up, hop in the shower, get dressed, read email, eat breakfast. Face the day!

I forgot to mention, Dd learned the write down/rip up technique in play therapy.

Let the dogs out, use the restroom then one cup of coffee.

I wake up very early, eat a relatively leisurely breakfast while scrolling through Tumblr, then head to the gym on my way to work.

Jealous of the non-working people with the leisurely mornings!

My morning is usually a frantic mess since I stayed in bed too long because I hate mornings. Shower, pack my lunch, make sure kids make their lunches, say goodbye to the kids who drive themselves to school, and get in the car to commute to work. Woo.Hoo.

Depends on my work-teaching-traveling schedule. We are on one month terms so every month it can be different. That boils down to either day, night or sometimes both day and night classes then each month throw a few travel days into the mix. I never have a predictable schedule so have had to devise "sub-routines" so I don't forget to do things. But no matter what I strive for silent mornings, no tv or conversations.

Now to get to the point, when doing days up at 6:15AM. Clean and feed four big birds, let the three dogs out then then in feed them, then out and in again. Coffee, cruise email, peas then get ready for work and on campus by 8AM. Night schedule usually up by 8:30AM, same animal and email routine except make my lunch and on campus by 11:30AM. Morning class schedule I make lunch the night before. Traveling same routine of course without animal obligations just various wake up times and in a hotel room.

Up at 5:00, shower, hair, makeup, I have got this down to 15-20 minutes!
Downstairs and water plants, start coffee, eat either cereal or bagel while I watch the news
Back up and wake DH, get dressed, back down and make lunches, head to greenhouse and open it up,
shut off heat, open vents, etc...
On the road to work by 6:45.

Monday thru Friday up around 5:15 (I am a total morning person). Let little dog out (dh sleeps in til 6:30 ish) shower, hair and makeup, let dog in, dress for work. I then spend about 45 minutes with my Devotional books and a cup of tea and reading facebook and the refupeas. I need my early morning quiet.

And like Merge, I am also a "dweller and seether" so writing the bad stuff down would only make it worse for me.

I hit snooze on my alarm, roll over and turn the tv on to Canada AM, 20 minutes later I hop in the shower, get dressed, wake the kids up, make breakfast, assemble the lunches that were made the night before, nag ds to brush his teeth, send him out the door to school, make dd and myself travellers mugs of coffee or tea, drive her to school and myself to work.

I am too "fuzzy" in the morning to do any writing or reading.

DS used to be an incredibly bright eyed and bushy tailed morning person, thankfully that has mellowed with age and the 3 of us are pretty quiet, but not grumpy in the morning. Now if DH who works midnights happens to get home before we have left chaos ensues.

I hit snooze, and play a couple of games, read email/fb on my phone. If I need to wash my hair, i have to get out of bed and the next alarm. Otherwise, I snooze a couple more times. I wake ds up, and then watch the news while I get ready. Go to work. Once there, I buy a diet coke, and heat up my breakfast. Once I've eaten, I'm finally human and ready to start the day. The whole process takes about an hour and a half.

This made me giggle

Make bed, shower, dress. COFFEE, email, Pinterest, etc.
Breakfast, make lunches, go to work.
I need quiet in the AM so I like to get up well before the kids. DH leaves the house at 5:30 so I get up when he leaves.

Alarm is set for 3:25 - hit snooze once as long as I know the weather is good. Up at 3:34, dressed/teeth/hair and out the door by 4:05 for a 5 am start
