I roll out of bed at 7:30, feed the dog, feed the cat, get dressed, check my email as I have breakfast, clean the litter box, brush my teeth (by now it's 8:10), wake up my fiance, wait until he staggers off to the bathroom so that I can make the bed, make the bed with Nikita's (cat) "help", put my socks on. If I still have to wait for Gene, I'll pull out the laser pointer and give the cat a bit of a workout. When we're both ready, I put on my shoes and we go down to the kitchen, I get my lunch, he gets his pop, and we're out the door by 8:20.

For days I have to drive into the office, it's up at 5:30, feed the cats, get dressed (I usually shower at night), brush teeth, do hair (and if I'm feeling especially efficient, makeup), and out the door by 6:30.

For days I work from home, it's roll out of bed at 6:30, feed the cats (and sometimes the fish), and hit the PC.

I am up at 7, go to the bathroom, take Watson out to pee/poop, feed Watson & Mittens, throw in a load of laundry, eat breakfast while I check my email, weather, bank account, and my online classes all while watching the episode of Bold & the Beautiful from the day before. Then I hop into the shower about 8am and am out the door about 8:50 to get to work by 9am.

Tripod wakes me up at 6:30. I pet him. I reach down to the bottom of the bed and pet Oliver. I pray and cuddle my BF and the cats. Get up at 6:45. I put away the dishes from the night before, wash the kitty dishes, feed the kitties, pour 2 glasses of milk and get out the vitamins. Take one and give one to my BF if he's out of the bathroom yet.

Then I use the bathroom, wash or shower and brush my teeth.

Then I make lunches and tell my BF to be careful and kiss him as he leaves for work.

After that I get dressed, gather everything I'll need for the day, give the kitties treats, pet them and tell them to have a good day.

Out the door at 7:15.

Hear alarm at 6.00, dig BF in the ribs to make the noise go away.

Snuggle with BF and kitties until alarm goes off again around 6.15.

Shower and read email while doing make up, hair and snuggling kitties.

Leave at 7, pick up tea and bagel at local coffee shop to eat at work.

6:30- alarm goes off- hit snooze.
6:44- again hit it! Husband moans- turn it off!
Snuggle with kitties if they are in bed.
Between 7 and 7:15- actually wake up.
Feed kitties- this takes the most time?!
Get dressed, eat food if enough time in front of news.
Throw 2 diet cokes and frozen meal in shopping bag for lunch. Pour drink for car and take pills. Find keys, purse, cell phone and work ID. Pet Rocky if he's being cute. Leave between 7:35 and 7:45 so I'm between 5 and 15 minutes late to work (at 8).

Wake up around 9, pee-dance my way into the kitchen to get Cupid's food, take his food into his room, take litter box into bathroom, potty, scoop box, return box, go make fruit smoothie or grab a breakfast bar and a bottle of water, check email, browse daily websites, watch The View or Ellen and maybe eat a snack depending on how long I browsed. Sometimes I feel like doing yoga/pilates after the show or I do treadmill/gazelle during the show. Then I'm ready to get ready and run errands or go to lunch w/my friends if it's lunch time (around 1). That's the my morning!
