Peepa Cut Rock Total Posts: 239 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 2/21/2007	Mine goes like this: Wake up Move feet around to figure out where Petrie is Shower Turn on tv and listen to news while getting ready which may or may not consist of putting on makeup or even blowdrying hair but I do put on a serum for flyaways Straighten up comforter Put on Petrie's collar because we take it off at night Put vitamins in pocket to take at work, check stove, make sure closets are closed or else Petrie will get in, check doors Off I go This isn't an exact schedule but that's pretty much what I do each morning. All of this take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. What about you? How long do you take to put on make up? Hair? Have an actual breakfast or just something to go?

elledizzy5 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,887 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 4/25/2008	I typically shower the night before. I roll out of bed about 10 minutes before I have to leave, put my hair in a ponytail, don't put on make up, get dressed and I'm out the door. Again, usually together and out the door in 10 minutes. I like sleep too much to care about hair or make up. ~ Let all the people of the world say what they please I alone know what I do ~

Sabine Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,883 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 8/16/2007	I leave exactly an hour after my alarm wakes me up. I shower, get dressed and put in contacts, dry my hair (now that it's short, before I would just dry the front and clip it back), put on makeup and straighten my hair (takes about 10 minutes), eat cereal, watch 5 minutes of the news and check ps, take the dog out, then put her in her crate, pack up my work stuff, and leave.

oshinbreez Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,135 Last Post: 8/20/2009 Member Since: 6/16/2006	Wake up around 5:30 and turn on tv as I shut off alarm. Feed cats. Grab a cup of coffee and feed dogs and love on them a few minutes. Get another cup of coffee, feed & water birds, then check email. Get another cup of coffee and jump in the shower. Get dressed and leave by 6:45. There are thousands of things kids need to be protected from. Hugging isn't one of them.

aprilcait Ideal Rock Total Posts: 785 Last Post: 10/23/2009 Member Since: 10/17/2006	I shower, make lunches, fill water bottles, and set out my outfit the night before. So, this is what I do in the morning: I wake up at 6:33am (technically it's supposed to be 6:35am but I'm odd and I really hate waking up to an alarm so my body programmed itself to wake up early.) Then it's bathroom, make-up, throw my hair up into a half-bun thing, style my bangs (I have side-swept bangs, so they're pretty easy), brush my teeth, and throw on my clothes. Next, I head to the kitchen and put DH's water bottles into the freezer to chill (he has 1 biking water bottle since he bikes to work, and 1 water bottle for the office). I grab my lunch and water bottle, get my keys, work bag, and any mail that needs to go in the mailbox, then off I go. I'm usually in my car a little before 7:00am.

absolut_blonde Ideal Rock Total Posts: 804 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/6/2008	I go to the gym after work, so I generally shower in the evenings. So my mornings are usually like this: - Alarm goes off around 7am, SO gets up to shower - Snooze til SO gets out of the shower, realize I have to get up - Brush teeth, wash face - SO goes out to get Tim Horton's for both of us while I make our lunches - Do makeup and hair, throw together an outfit (office is not super dressy nor trendy so I don't give this much thought most days) - Gather lunch, purse, gym bag & out the door just before 8

IndyGirl22 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,638 Last Post: 10/17/2008 Member Since: 9/16/2007	Wake up to first alarm, turn it off. Wake up to second alarm, get out of bed very, very slowly. Turn on the radio in my bathroom. Brush my teeth. Shower if I didn't the night before. Wash my face. Put on moisturizer/make-up. Put on body lotion. Dry/style my hair. Change clothes. Turn on the security system. Head out the door. This usually all takes at least an hour, mostly because of my hair. I know breakfast needs to be added in there somewhere, but lately I have been slacking in that department. We are not self-employed. ~ Gen.

Here's my morning routine - Get up, bathroom, wash hands, brush teeth, wash face, apply SPF lotion to face, brush hair, apply deodorant, get dressed, get a quick breakfast, then I'm out the door!

allikatac Cut Rock Total Posts: 131 Last Post: 9/28/2009 Member Since: 2/9/2006	Interesting topic! I always wonder what others get done in the morning. I can't seem to get too motivated in the morning so I take a shower the night before and and try to pack my lunch. I get up at 5:30 Bathroom Breakfast and use computer for 30 minutes! Lay in bed again Make-up and hair while watching the news Lay in bed some more Get dressed Grab lunch and leave at 6:45 to be at work for 8 I obviously waste too much time. I could get up at 6:15, but then I don't have time to goof off

pennquaker09 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,487 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 11/2/2007	I was up at 5:00 with Nate and while he is taking his shower and getting ready, I change and the twins some sometimes, I feed them. They usually go back to sleep after I change them, but sometimes they'll stay up. After changing the twins, I get all of Nate;'s stuff together and I make him some kind of breakfast. By 6:30, Nate is usually on his way to the city, and I get back in the bed. I sleep for maybe an hour and a half, and if the stars align 2. I immediately make bottles and run a cycle of bottles in the dishwasher. Usually the twins wake up by the time I'm finished and I get them up, change them again and feed them. Normally, around 9, I'm getting in the shower. However, on Monday and Wednesday, my SIL comes over at 7:00 and I go to the gym.
