He starts back to school in January and it will be rough for him to go bed at night and get up early. He is doing online school and he sleeps til 11 am and then I have to get him up. Hope your mornings go more smoothly.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212454004456092488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-25427244893419793612009-11-17T14:44:01.751-06:002009-11-17T14:44:01.751-06:00I personally am never late however we Shibas have ...I personally am never late however we Shibas have learned to hide in our crates when she starts moving really fast around the house because she will either trip over us or step on our toes.<br /><br />Both are painful.<br /><br />The Woman has issues with promptness.The Shibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880238307113910920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-41985779759815723752009-11-16T09:49:27.083-06:002009-11-16T09:49:27.083-06:00LOL, I'm sorry to say that our morning routine...LOL, I'm sorry to say that our morning routine generally runs like clockwork. Then again, the kids are 11 and 13, so they're pretty well trained to get up, take the dogs out for their morning, eat breakfast, and hit the road to school. I am not always so disciplined, which means I end up with hair in a bun, no makeup, and boring outfits. Oh well! At least I'm rested. ;)Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-10470694275021241522009-11-15T12:24:13.765-06:002009-11-15T12:24:13.765-06:00My morning routine wouldn't make you feel any ...My morning routine wouldn't make you feel any better, since I just have to take care of myself.

That happens to me rather regularly so you're not alone. It always pleases me, though, however long I've stepped away from blogging, as soon as I make that first post, someone leaves a comment. That's such a nice feeling. <br /><br />My morning routines aren't that stressful these days as my girls are older now (10 and 14), so they are very good at getting themselves ready. The 10 year old is quite cranky and sometimes difficult to get <i>out</i> of bed, but after that things run smoothly. I set my alarm for 7 am and by 8:40 am the family morning routine is over and I'm off to the gym for an hour of 'me' time. I spend my mid day doing chores with an hour or two reading or blogging. The busiest part of my day is between 3 pm - 10 pm when the girls are home from school, activities, dinner, homework, more chores, etc...Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-28461414785013839242009-11-13T17:44:30.846-06:002009-11-13T17:44:30.846-06:00I have no kids, so it's just me trying to conv...I have no kids, so it's just me trying to convince myself to get up and walk on the treadmill.

All of the squares seem well placed and perfect. <br /><br />I complain about my morning routine but I am one of those where it goes like clockwork. Here's what my morning looks like:<br /><br />I wake at 4:30am to shower and dress.<br /><br />I blow dry my hair. <br /><br />I wake son up at 5am to shower and dress. <br /><br />I get daughter up (who bathed the night before) and drag her down the stairs. <br /><br />I put food in front of her. She eats, albeit slowly.<br /><br />While she eats, I eat. <br /><br />Son stumbles down. I put food in front of him. He eats. <br /><br />I pack my lunch. Kids buy their lunch. <br /><br />I check backpacks. <br /><br />I come hair. They brush teeth. <br /><br />Hub comes down when it is all done and then takes them to daycare.<br /><br />I am out the door at 6am. <br /><br />They are out the door at 6:30.<br /><br />I do that every single day. No wonder I am tired! Then when I get to work I exercise. It's the only time I can.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-74198510991588943112009-11-13T11:20:18.409-06:002009-11-13T11:20:18.409-06:00I get The Boy ready for school.

So, sometimes we are rushed depending on how long it takes me to get out of bed in the morning. :) The mornings feel rushed, but I don't think they really are comparatively. After he leaves, then it is on to getting Bitty and I ready to "face the day" which sometimes even happens after lunch and nap.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503988003529913624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-39299063184721681442009-11-13T10:25:01.264-06:002009-11-13T10:25:01.264-06:00You would feel so much better if you saw my mornin...You would feel so much better if you saw my mornings...I have a routine, but no matter what one of my three girls has some type of problem, or doesn't want to cooperate, or get out bed, or can't go to daycare unless she has Curious George underwear on....I could go on and on.Tina's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313626164494986783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-14775913287858105852009-11-13T10:15:05.231-06:002009-11-13T10:15:05.231-06:00I remember the days of rushed mornings!
