    What's yours?

    Mine is brush teeth / get dressed / stumble to coffee maker.

    I will tidy up the kitchen while the coffee is brewing if it needs it.

    I generally don't shower until 10 or 11 because I run or workout when the kids leave. So, when I get up, I'm putting on my workout clothes.

    Brush teeth, drive kid to school, coffee, then I sit down in my office.

    I'm at the brush teeth stage right now, not ready for the other three yet.

    On work days, I'm up between 4:30 & 5. Let the dogs out, make coffee, watch the news, get online. Feed them, empty the dishwasher, shower, get ready, then head to work around 6:45.

    I'm one of those people that can't stand brushing my teeth first thing. I head straight to the kitchen for a soda, start the car so it'll warm up, and waste time on my phone until Trey is ready for me to take him to school. Once I get back it's all about FB, Pinterest, Forums & Blogs unless I have something to get ready for right away, but I usually try to avoid scheduling stuff like that at all costs.

    My morning routine (which actually occurs in the evening because I work night shift) means stumbling out of bed, coming out to the couch to talk to my hubby for a few minutes, then drag myself to the shower, shower, dry my hair, get dressed, brush my teeth, pack my lunch, head to work. I get up in just enough time to do just these things. Sometimes it takes longer because I find myself distracted by checking e-mail, Facebook and forums.

    This. I can't seem to do anything else until it's done. Which is why my coffee is after I drop the kid off, because it tastes really gross if I drink it right afterward.

    Not every morning looks the same for me, but generally it is up at 6:00am, brush teeth and go to the bathroom, workout, eat breakfast, make sure kids are getting ready, shower/hair/make-up, finish getting the kids ready and packed up for school, bring them to school and on work days I head straight to work. On other days I am either helping in a classroom or going to my bible study once a week. I do have to brush my teeth right away as well!!!

    Same.

    Get up, brush teeth, shower (depending on if I have the night before or not). Drag kiddos out of bed as they ignore their blaring alarms. Do my hair and makeup. Make sure kids are actually eating. Get dressed. Pour coffee. Smooch the family and leave for work.

    I don't drink it until I'm almost halfway to work.

    After dragging myself out of bed the first thing I always do is take the dog out. Then I wake up the kiddos. Then it's all about feeding them, fighting the bedhead and getting them ready for school. It's not until the kiddos are on the bus that I can shower, brush my teeth or do anything for myself. I suppose I could get up earlier and do that but I value the sleep too much.

    I have one cup of coffee when I first wake the teenagers. Then once the other boys are up and gone to school, I make my breakfast and a second cup.

    My morning routine has changed from this morning but what i was before was

    alarm 6.30
    feed Dean in bed
    get up and get dressed and washed
    get Dean dressed and washed (hubby does Kate)
    Eat breakfast at the table all together

    It splits here, if it is a mon and wednesday then I have Deans fruit, yoghurt, milk and dinner all ready to go. Hubby takes him to my MIL on his way to work and I get Kate ready for school.
    Get on the bicycle and bike her to school, stay a little while and then head off home.
    Make a pot of coffee for 2-3 cups and put the pc on and zombie browse everything. Then get ready for work and leave at 10.30am

    If it's a Tu, Th and Fr (my free days or overday free as on thursday I don't start till 5pm) then I get both kids ready, pack them both on the bicycle, get Kate to school ,stay a while then either go do some grocery shopping with Dean or head straight back home. Do some house chores, play with Dean, make coffee and have coffee/cookie juice/fruit with Dean. Then he goes down for his nap and then it's zombie pc time for me :giggle Then wake Dean at 11.30 and pack him on the bicycle and go get Kate from school and lunch together.

    The morning has changed as I have stopped from today with the morning feed. So I just get up and get dressed and then Dean and we all eat at the table. But today spring break started so we slept out (except hubbie hihi)

    Most days it's up at 6:20, put the kiddo in the shower and back to sleep til 6:50, make her breakfast and dry her hair, baby is usually awake at this point, so we wave big sister off on the bus, baby gets her bath and then we both take a nap til 10:30 or so. Yeah, I'm super lazy. I REALLY REALLY hate mornings, lol. Emily is almost outgrown that first nap of the day though, so I guess I'll have to get up to stay up soon. I don't do coffee or breakfast, but I do brush my teeth and take a shower, usually before Emily...I lock her in there with me since I have a glass door and can see what she's into lol.

    mornings vary depending on if I'm working or not but really only by the amount of sleep I get ... work days are up at 5.40 am and non-work days are 6.40 am (I love non-work days best!). I hate mornings and yet my days of sleeping-in until 11 am seem to have left me behind and now I HAVE to get up at 7 am at the latest even if I desperately want more sleep!
