I was stumbling around this morning trying to get everything done that I needed to do and I was wondering if I do to much stuff in the morning. I want to be able to get up earlier to fit in a run. I think I'd have to be up by 5am to make it happen.
Here's my routine:
5:45am Wake-up Pee Water plants on the balcony Get Dozer's food, water & medicine set up Clean up living room (straighten pillows, fold blankets, put away crap) Weigh myself Shower Hair Make-up Dress Walk dog Pour coffee & grab lunch box Leave (6:30am)
I probably could water the flowers at night? But I hate coming home to a messy house, so I HAVE to straighten up in the morning. Thinking about things laying around all day makes me queasy. I can't explain it. I blame my mom.
6:00 Alarm goes off - snooze 6:05 Alarm goes off - snooze 6:10 Alarm goes off - snooze 6:15 Alarm goes off - I get up Pee Do my hair Put my contacts in Brush my teeth Put clothes on Put shoes on Kiss D goodbye Let big dog out back Check food/water for all critters Pick food for bfast/lunch & put in lunch bag Scan living room for anything I might have brought home from work (like my laptop) 6:30-6:40 Walk out the door & go to work

I definitely don't do any cleaning or stepping on the scale, those are sure-fire ways to put me in a cranky mood and I'm not a morning person to start with.
I wake up either 10 mins till 6:00 AM or snooze until right up to that time. I usually shower at night but sometimes I wake up earlier than that if I have to shower or had bad night sweats.
After going to the bathroom I usually start getting ready immediately, brushing teeth, putting on my face and doing something about the hair, getting dressed.
Usually the H feeds the dogs so I don't worry about them unless he leaves a note that he didn't do it. Gather my lunch/snack items, throw everything I need in my purse, set the alarm (unless H is home, like now in the summertime) and am out the door by 6:30 am. I usually have a probiotic drink and a granola bar to have for the morning commute.
6:00 - alarm goes off - hubby hits snooze 6:09 - alarm goes off again, actually get up this time 6:10 - hop in shower while hubby goes downstairs to start coffee and feed the cats 6:20 - get out of shower and get dressed, blowdry hair and put on makeup 6:35 - go downstairs, get lunch all packed up 6:40 - out the door
6:00- alarm goes off, usually snooze 6:15- get out of bed, pee, put in contacts 6:20-7:00- shower 7:00-7:15- hair and makeup 7:15-7:30- iron clothes, get dressed, blowdry hair 7:30-7:45ish- feed cat, pack lunch, leave for work

Does no one make their lunch the night before? I pack up my lunch when I am cleaning up for dinner and also set the coffee pot. The coffee goes off at 5:30 so I wake up to the smell of it.

Usually it's similar to this: 5:45 - alarm... Snooze! 6:00 - alarm... Get up. Shower. Brush teeth. Hop on scale. Makeup. Get dressed. Let dog out. Put breakfast/lunch items together. Thtow shoes on. Check/close windows. Kennel my dog. 6:40 - Grab stuff and go.

I do usually pack mine the night before, but in the mornings I just have to get all of the containers out of the fridge and put them in my lunchbox.

1. Get up when I'm rested, usually around 5am 2. Go downstairs, make coffee, feed cats 3. Have coffee and a light breakfast if I'm hungry 4. Take coffee upstairs to my spouse, put puppy on the bed, climb back into bed, prop myself up on pillows and watch the news & check my email 5. Water garden 6. Go walking/jogging for an hour 7. Come home, shower, dress, go to work, or if I don't have a client I might get groceries / do errands.

I usually do frozen lunches or cans of soup for quick grabbing because it is rare that there are enough leftovers for me to take for lunch. My H is like a human-food-disposal and it seems like even if I cook for 4 instead of 2, it still all gets eaten somehow throughout the night.
We do have a coffee maker but since the H doesn't drink it, I don't make it every day so usually I just wait until I get to work for my first cup. I only use my coffee maker on the weekends.
5:00 am wake up, pee, put in contacts, and get dressed for a workout. 5:05 out the door starting my run or walk 5:55 get home sit on the couch for a few minutes and talk to Paul while he makes his lunch. 6:10 shower, brush teeth 6:45 Paul leaves for work 6:46 commence sitting around and doing nothing. Also sometimes I take a nap.

Most of the time my lunch is frozen, so there's no making to it. I usually just collect the variety of things I take. I'll get the food out of the freezer, grab some fruit from the fridge, a power bar from on top of the microwave (right next to the fridge).. that's about it.
6:05 am get up, pee, put in contacts, weigh myself, get dressed. 6:12-6:45 am get out of the house, either meet my neighbor for a run, or do a long run by myself. 6:50-7:10 walk the dog 7:10-7:20 gather lunch/snack stuff, make coffee if we didn't the night before. 7:20-7:28 shower 7:30-7:45 get dressed, dry hair, do make up 7:45 grab lunch, coffee, say goodbye to my H and dog. 8:00 work.

Me too, I hate coming home to a dirty house.. but it's usually just a need to put away "stuff". When we're both working FT, we pay someone to come do the dirty cleaning. We both hate doing it.

Yes, it's more of things need to be "in their place" then the house needs to be spotless. I deep-clean once a week (bleach bathroom & kitchen, vacuum & dust, etc...) but I have to have everything in it's place on a constant basis.

I was very excited with my allergist gave me a dr's note that said I wasn't allowed to vacuum. I'm that severely allergic to dust.

Holy crap you people get up early! My morning routine would be at least 45 minutes longer if I took a shower in the morning, because I'd have to shower (5-10 minutes), lotion, hang up towels, blow dry hair (15-20 min), smooth hair out, and then commence with finding something to wear, makeup, etc.
7:30- wake up
let dog out on the way to the bathroom pee brush teeth get dressed put makeup on straighten hair
7:45 I'm out of the door to get to work a little before 8. Sometimes I'll snooze 10 minutes and just do hair/makeup at work. I always wait to eat until I'm at work since I keep oatmeal in my desk.
