Good morning. 


So after you've got out of bed and gone to the bathroom, what three things do you do first every morning?

I always,

1. Open the patio doors wide and take a look at what the weather is doing.

2. Fill up all the cat's food bowls.

3  Put the kettle on. (Must have tea before I can do anything else.)

Where my cats are
1. Look outside to see what the weather is doing.

2. Pray

3. Wash my face with plain water.  My skin is so oily some mornings I have to do this or wipe my eyes with a tissue even before I'm out of bed because it burns!  I use a better cleaner in the shower afterward.

1. Boil water so hot water is ready for tea, warm water, and oatmeal

2. Shower

3. Then it's a toss up for eat breakfast and scoop litter boxes. If I have a large grain oatmeal that requires more time to cook and cool, I'll scoop boxes while I wait.

1. Make strong coffee and a pastry.
2. If it's nice, sit on the terrace and drink 2 cups of coffee otherwise it's the couch
3. Agonize over what to do next.

In the kitchen
During the week,
  • The first thing I do is hit the treadmill (most of the time), while Rick feeds the cats. 
  • Come back upstairs and clean the litter boxes
  • Grab a shower and get ready for work
On weekends, I feed the cats their breakfast, sometimes even before using the bathroom. They are an impatient bunch!
  • Stand in the kitchen to make sure that everybody eats and nobody tries to take food from another plate until the cat is finished with the plate. BooBoo has decided that he's not getting enough to eat (believe me, he is!) and likes to go from plate to plate, sometimes not giving another cat a chance to finish their breakfast. He tries to intimidate another cat into walking away. Doesn't work on Mollipop, though; she'll growl at him to keep him at bay. If that doesn't work, she pops him on the nose and then goes back to her breakfast. I say, "Kids" and that's enough to get them back on track. 
  • Empty out the dishwasher while the Keurig makes my coffee (this morning, it's Premium Arabica from Second Cup)
  • Come back to the computer to TCS

Feed the cats

Go to the ranch and see what the injury of the day will be

Beg the horse for forgiveness because of the diet. and clean clean clean first the horse then her corral

Go for a long walk with the horse with her stopping every few feet at first saying "BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO FOR A WALK I WANT TO EAT!!"  and, "YOUR NOT MY REAL MOTHER!"

Take Gus(dog) outside to go potty, I usually sit on the porch a few minutes too if it is nice out.

Make my coffee or tea depending what I feel like that morning.

The third always varies. Either make Glen's lunch for work if he is working early shift. Make my neices breakfast if no one else has yet. Or I just get on with feeding the farm animals straight away.

1. Boil water (this seems to be a popular activity lol)

2. Scratch cat -- he doesn't get his food immediately, but I don't want him to think I'm ignoring him either.

3. Skim through BBC.

Brush my teeth.

Give Autumn her first snack of the day and fill her bowl with fresh water.

Turn on Keurig for my first cuppa coffee and open windows.

If Russ is here, things change a little
 

Note:  It is so nice to see that just about everybody involves their pets in the morning.  We certainly love our 4-legged members of the family.

There are people who get to use the bathroom first? Lol My babies insist on being fed and let out before I get to do anything.

1. Let the dogs out

2. Feed cats & dogs, give the dogs their morning meds

3. Get my clothes ready for work.

Then, after I crate the dogs who will be bad if I leave them out, I get to use the bathroom and shower. Breakfast is a frozen sandwich that I throw in my purse and get to eat on my first break at work.
