What's your morning routine?

Well my routine depends greatly on the boys.

5:00 am alarm goes off and I promptly hit snooze hoping for nine more blissful moments of sleep.
5:09 am alarm goes off again and Gandalf raises sleepy eyes to me as if to say turn that thing off...
5:18 am alarm goes off again and Samwise decides to get up and go into the living room
5:27 am alarm goes off again and Samwise come back to the bedroom and begins to whine.
5:30 - 5:40 am I pet both the boys then roll reluctantly out of bed and head to the bathroom trying not to step on Samwise.

5:40 - 5:50 Once in the bathroom, I change their waterbowl, then relieve my bladder. Then brush my teeth with both boys watching. I wash my face then head to the kitchen.

5:50 - 6:15 I feed the boys then scrounge around for something to eat myself. And eat what ever I've found.

6:15 - 6:30 get dressed and do hair. Then feed my fish with Samwise watching like a hawk. He's just determined that he'll eat the fish someday.

6:30- 6:45 Usually throw some laundry on, or do a little cleaning. THen open the blinds in the living room.

6:55 - 7:00 Run around gathering my stuff for work then say good bye to the boys and head off to work

7:30 arrive at work and wish I was back home.

Now the above is only if Gandalf and Samwise haven't turned the alarm off or turned the radio volume way down as it is an alarm clock radio. I have been known to wake up and look at the clock and have it be 7:15am.

am new here and so far love this site, I don't have a morning routine but my critters do! Don't need an alarm clock, have 2 cats, 3 dogs and 2 horses that work quite well as an alarm. First sign of day light the dogs take turns poking me with their noses, then the cats take turns walking across my face then the horses start making noise because they have heard the dogs and cats stirring. So I get up, take dogs and cats for walk (yes my cats go along on walks) they were raised by the dogs and I really think they believe they are dogs, not cats. Get everybody fed then take time for a cup of coffee or 2, spend time on the computer, look at the list I made the day before and decide to put it all off til another day.

12:30pm My handphone alarm goes off (I dun do morning), switch off my handphone.
1pm Heard Brownie outside my door, woke up and cleaned up.
1:10pm Pulls my laundry basket out, greeted my Brownie at the door. Throw my laundry into the washing machine, check my cats bowls, clean their toilet, switch on my laptop.
1:45pm Dashed into the kitchen, check my washing machine, collect the last spinning water to wash my cats toilet, goes back to my laptop.
2pm Hang out my laundry, goes back to my laptop
3pm feels hungry, shut down my laptop, went out to get some food.
3:30pm switch on my laptop again.
4:30pm shut down my latop. vacumn and mopped the floor, bathe, switch on my laptop again.
7 to 8pm Switch off my laptop, went out to get somemore food, watch 1 hour of TV, switch on my laptop again.
10pm Watch TV with laptop still on, my cats will sit side by side with me watching TV and I will run into my room to continue my work whenever there is advertisement.
11pm switch off TV, continue to work on my laptop until 2 or 3am.

Yasmine starts meowing very loudly at 6:00 am
Alarm goes off at 6:20- hit snooze until 6:55....get up trying to walk without stepping on yasmine...and tryig to get her to hush up...i feed her..turn on my PC and check my email...turn on the radio grab some coffee and hop in the shower, get ready and leave for work at 8:20...

Between 4a-5a Bob goes off (he gets off the bed and starts shredding any papers he can find or pawing at the carpet). I get up and go to the bathroom at this point.

6a - alarm goes off. I turn on the TV and listen to the news as I fall back to sleep.

6:15 - Freckles comes in and meows for fresh water. I try to go back to bed.

6:30 - get up anyway because Bob is making a racket on the heating/cooling unit; make breakfast

6:45 - take out Da Bird to keep Bob active in a constructive way; Freckles also joins in. Clean litterboxes if I notice use (I do the through cleaning at night) & change the other water dish; top off food if necessary

7 - take a shower; Bob meowing outside the door because I won't let him in (it's where I keep Da Bird); I often leave the TV on for them ("Gunsmoke" reruns on the Westerns channel most often)

7:35 - leave for work; apologize to the cats and promise to be back tonight.

Well since it's Saturday I'll give you my morning routine for the weekend:

Today I woke up just before seven and lazed around awhile thinking about my lovely dream then I switched on the TV and watched the news for an hour - it was so sad it was regarding the bird flu and they had 100's of cats jampacked in little cages. They also had dying humans, but at least they weren't shoved in little cages! Then I watched my favourite cartoon to cheer me up, The Weekenders.

But yeah my point is I laze around for awhile watching TV.

The I jump on the internet for a few hours, unless I'm going out early then I have a shower, get dressed etc

Then it's breakfast time

Then I have chores and then I get ready

Let's see... Alarm set for 7:10 ( summer 8 so I don't get too lazy )
Then, off to wake the kids (if it's school time)
Feed the furkids, get coffee going (must have around here!), and make breakfast. Then it's off for a shower, make sure the kids have thier school needs in order, and off to school for them.

Summer, sleep overs sometimes at my home, or at our daughter's friends, movies, trips to the lake...it depends on what we want to do or have planned.

7:30 a.m. Sophie jumps on face, hand, foot, or any other part of my body that she feels MIGHT be moving.
8:00 a.m. I finally decide that I'm tired of running defense and get out of bed.
8:15 a.m. Feed all critters, inside and out. Give Brynna her pills if it's her day to have them.
8:30 a.m. Clean litter box and all stray litter that Sophie has decided to decorate the hallway with. Usually, about this time, Braeden, my 3 yr old is up and about, change him, help him brush his teeth, get him breakfast.
9:00 a.m. Finally brush my own nasty teeth and wash my face so MAYBE I can wake up and face the day.
