When I get up, it's almost always because DS is up and comes in. We go downstairs, I turn on the TV for him so I can wake up some, get him started on breakfast, refill the dog's water bowl, dole out my vitamins, etc. and DS', make a chai, make my breakfast, sit down and get caught up on the internet while I eat. I always check my email, Instagram, Shopkick lookbooks to get kicks, Words With Friends, Facebook, and GBCN. I count it as a good day if I get to go through all of those. Then start the task of getting DS dressed and ready to go wherever we're going, while I get myself ready at the same time.
As soon as I get up I put in my eyedrops. Then it's off to the bathroom as fast as possible because the dog is dancing at the door to go out. So I drink a tall glass of water, let her out, refill her food and water bowls, and start making breakfast for H and me. After that I brush my teeth, get dressed, etc. I shower at night, so no need to blowdry or anything in the mornings. If it's the weekend, I'll stay in pajamas all day unless I'm going out.
MrsMB I'm sorry you typed out a long response and deleted. I would have loved to hear your regular morning as well
Wake up, turn off air conditioner, open bedroom door to let the cold out, to to the bathroom, check all social medias/apps (takes about 10 min) watch a TV show from the day prior, make some breakfast - watch 2nd show during breakfast, then proceed to either stay in pajamas or shower/get ready for the day!

Bathroom, then go to make coffee, and while it's brewing I refill the cats' food and water and pick up around the kitchen. If DH is already in the shower when I get up I skip the bathroom part and go after. Then I sit down at my computer and usually do a few personal things before starting work.

You're currently sleeping with the AC on? Isn't it already cold?
It used to be: bury myself under the covers and check my phone until DH is finished getting ready or leaving for work, put contacts in, shower, downstairs for breakfast and more Internet checking, back upstairs for hair/makeup/clothes, then back downstairs to my office to start work or leave to visit clients.
I love DH's alarm clock. It's a Philips wake up light.
I have no idea what my new routine will be, but probably something like breastfeed, shower, get ready, eat breakfast, pump, start work/out the door.

Wake up, put on a sweatshirt and socks, bathroom/brush teeth. If I'm off, I'll then play on my phone a bit while watching tv. If I'm working I start doing my hair, then makeup, then pick an outfit. I listen to music while doing so. I don't check my phone or anything until I'm headed to work on those days, because I like to squeak out all the sleep I can.
HoneySpider Yes, it's extremely cold. We sleep with it on the lowest setting. I can't sleep without the noise and cold temps in our bedroom. I've tried and sleep horribly, unfortunately!
On days I work. I get up and go to the bathroom, shower, do make-up and hair then dress. I then make myself a cup of coffee, heat up some kind of breakfast, kiss DH and run out the door.
Days off are much more lazy. I get, go to the bathroom and lounge around for a while before showering and getting ready for the day.

You're crazy!
We both like being cold/using more blankets so when we lived in AZ sometimes we'd sleep with the AC on just so we could use our down comforter. It didn't get much use in AZ & TX but now we use it every night, no AC needed
When I am up for the morning I go to the bathroom and pee, brush my teeth, and then put on my robe and go to the kitchen to make breakfast (if it's a week day) or to my chair to check Facebook and gbcn if it is the weekend.
Of course now when I wake up I grab the baby because she is the reason I am awake. Normal routine starts after I have her settled.
I wake up, put on my robe, and try to convince the baby (who is always the reason I am awake) to cuddle me. After I set her up with toys, I get a cup of tea and pump.
but to actually answer the question, on the days I don't have to work (thus, no alarm), this is my routine:
wake up check phone for messages pee rinse mouth with mouthwash chug a glass of milk make and drink coffee eat cereal settle on the couch with a computer, book, or the tv. or all 3. shower... later. get dressed if I have to.
I enjoy my days off right now and I will continue to enjoy them while I can.

Wake up Put contacts in/go to the bathroom Take the baby downstairs/feed him if needed and set him up w toys Take the dog out Feed the cats Make coffee/breakfast and eat while watching the today show
This is a normal non-workday. I am off tomorrow so this will be my play for tomorrow and I am looking forward to it so much.
On a non work day, I'd get up and go to the bathroom, then eat breakfast, then probably hop on the computer. Then it would depend on what my plans were for the day.
Alarm at 5:00 AM Pee Get pump parts together Pump for 25 mins while checking email and weather Then shower if I can (sometimes I shower the night before) Clean parts and get parts ready for the day pump and clean bottles Try to get dressed myself and pick my jewelry for the day Wrangle my DD#1 out bed. This can be a big impact of minutes or could take a minimal amount Dress her, fix her hair Finish getting ready myself (shoes) Do any of my husbands to do's. Like change the baby or help pack lunches. Goal is to be in the car about 6:30
In the car I do make-up which is hard sometimes with the crappy Dallas roads. I also have a 7:30 AM conference call everyday
