Morning Maintenance

[Phoenix84]

It varies a bit, but here's a typical routine.

8:30 get up, use the bathroom

8:32 go grab a can a root beer and drink it.

8:35, put on pants, shirt, and shoes

8:40 brush teeth, put in contacts, shave if I need it

8:50 Grab my keys, wallet, and cell phone and leave for work. 

Be at work a bit after 9:00

Simple 

I do my showering at night and most of my grooming at night before bed. 

The routine varies a bit.  If I wake up and I'm really thirsty, I'll get a drink first.  Depends on wheather I need to pee more or drink more

I'm really low maintenance in the morning.  I'm still sleeping.

5:39 - potty, teeth brushed, may or may not shower (depending on gym plans that day)
5:45 - get dressed, get work stuff out of safe
5:50 - pack lunch (maybe)
5:55-6:05 - leave for work
7:00-7:15 - get to work (may have to stop for gas on the way in)

Hubby gets awoken by the little one about 7:00-7:30, gets him ready and off to the sitter by 8:30. All I know from their routine is the little guy gets "chocolate milk and TWO marshmallows" before anything else begins.

7:11-ask DH if he's going to go to the gym or stay ho e and keep bugging me

Wow a lot of you guys get up super early. And some get up at 5 to go to the gym!! Masochists. 

6:45 The light on my "wake up gently" alarm comes on.
6:46 Radio comes on. I drift in and out of consciousness incorporating various news items into my dreams. 
7:30 Roll grumpily out of bed. 
7:31 Let dogs out to pee, feed cats, let dogs in, feed dogs. 
7:36 Shower, makeup, find whatever is clean and not too wrinkled and put it on.
8:00 Let dogs out to poo (they don't like to do number 1 and 2 in the same "outing). 
8:05 Leave for work
8:30 ish..pull up to the office, unpack my laptop, go make some oatmeal and get some coffee, read emails. 
8:45 commence "working"

Alarm goes off at 6:15
Get up and go downstairs to make tea
Watch the news/weather until 6:30
Go back upstairs, shower, brush teeth, comb hair (or dry if it's cold out), makeup, dress, etc.
3 days a week I work from home so I log onto my computer around 7:30 then play a couple of games and check out some websites like this one.  Log into work at 8.

If working in the office I meet my driver at 7:20 and we get to work around 7:45.  Make a cup of tea and start work.
