What's the first thing you do every morning?

How do you start your day? Do you wake up and immediately run over to Mylot? Do you check emails? Do you cook breakfast and get your kids ready for school? Do you get ready for work or school and check into MyLot later on the job or campus?
I'm a fairly active person, being a mom. I try to get up in the morning and clean the house, before everyone wakes and then I go about my day on MyLot. That helps me wake up. Sometimes I take a shower. Usually it's super early, so I have tons of free time online.
When my daughter wakes up, I get breakfast for her while she watches videos on the computer. Then we spend some time together playing dolls and dressup. How does your day start?

I irst run to the coffee pot for a few cups of my morning caffiene fix. I will sit with my wife and dad if they are up chatting for a bit. Then I take my coffee usually to the living room to watch a little local news. If not I sit at the puter and start my myLot fix for the day. I seldom shower in the mornings. Usually afternoons if I go somewhere or at night if I stayed home all day long.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

i usually take a moment to reflect and thank God that He still gives me another day to live... after that, i prepare breakfast for me and my hubby and packed our lunch box... then i go and prepare myself to go to work... when i reach my office, i eat my breakfast and do mylotting (like what i am doing now) while waiting for my shift to start... that's about it everyday from monday to friday... on weekends, we try to relax a bit and get up a bit later... take care and have a nice day...

A gal has to check her messages! Of course! Next is always the primping. I've really got to get back into the primping.

I wake up eary in the morning to the tune of devotional songs as they are my alarm tune on my mobile.The first thing i need to do on weekdays is prepare food for my school going chidren. Once they are off to school i get fresh and say my prayers. This is an hour long session chanting mantras and offering prayers to god the almighty before having anything for breakfast.

I like to start my day drinking a fresh orange juice, before I send my husband to work and my two children to school. Once they are gone then I turn my computer on to check for emails, write my journal, update our family blog and go into Mylot, of course!

Thanks for saying so! I just post my life! I'm just happy everyone
loves reading about it. This stuff happens to me
and then I run and share it with everyone! If I didn't I'd bite
my nails off. Or, pull my hair out! I love both my nails and hair.
Could you tell that by my username? Beauty queen!
P.S. I always love your responses!

I used to check my daughter's breathing every morning and at night, too, when
she was a baby!
I thought that I was the only mom who ever did that.
I've never shared that secret with anyone, until now!
Nice to meet another happily worried and protective mom. Be well!

How I start my day? I roll around in bed not wanting to get up but something tells me I need to get up.. I pick up the laptop check the emails/myspace. Then I Pee. I usually don't have an appetite in the morning which is odd so I don't usually eat until after noon, unless I know I have to do something that day. When I start working I'm sure I will be eating breakfast more often. I then watch the Vh1 music videos for a while and I am ready to hit the day running by around 1:00 pm.

First thing I do every morning is look around my room to check for my husband and my dog. Then I check each of the kids rooms to be sure thay are all okay. I don't wake them until I've had a little quiet time and a shower.

First thing in the morning, I get my daily chores done....actually, my shower first before I get to the cooking and the cleaning and getting myself along with two kids ready for school. My older one gets ready on his own...just needs a little prompting. But my little one needs me to do it for him and it's a mad rush in the morning.
It's usually in the afternoon after I am back and the little one is napping that I can get on to myLOt (which isn't everyday now).

First thing in the morning would be "thinking what day it is today". If my brain figures it's the weekend, then I would close my eyes again. If not, I would dash out of bed and go to brush my teeth and start the day.

The very first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is go to the bathroom.
Then after I do what I have to do, and brush my teeth and wash my face and put on my creams, I go into the kitchen and put on coffee. I then go back to my room and get dressed and then to the computer and to mylot. I post for about an hour and then I have to get my daughter up and go to work. So I don't do the mylot thing first but at least within 15 minutes of getting up, I am here.

I have to say you are a very diligent mom.I am a student ,so I have enough time to do what I like .~~~~~The first thing I do in the morning is open my eyes,and think about the dreams .If I didn't had dream that night ,I may get up and walk to the balcony to do some exercise.That may make your mind clear.
