Alarm is set for 7am. Kids wake around 5:30 and start jumping on our bed. I'll tell wife I'll be right back. . . go to one of the kids' rooms and go to sleep.

Get to the office around 8. Staff knows if they hit me with any problems as I walk in, that ambush can be detrimental to their employment. After unlocking desktop, open necessary programs to monitor office, client accounts and news streams, I log into some political blogs and SOS. (Took a long time, but now I only check OSO if I'm REALLY bored.)

Eat a breakfast sandwich and the finest coffee around (comes in a green can, made by Pepsi, insane amount of caffeine - can anyone guess what it is?) By 8:30 I'm ready to work.

Still cant figure how so many of your have time to run your post counts up during the day. Then again, here I am trying about my morning routine.

What's your routine?
 
My alarm is set for 5:05. I hit the snooze button one and get up at 5:11. Go downstairs, pour a cup of coffee and eat a bowl of Cheerios (I'm lowering my cholesterol!:sifone:). By the time that I'm done with the cereal...I've got to chit!!!:rofl: I then take the Cleveland Browns to the SuperBowl and hit the shower afterwards. Out the door by 6:15 and in the office between 7 and 7:15.

Maybe TMI...but that's what I do. :26:

Up at 7:50, quick breakfast while watching the news, quick shower, out the door by 8:30, in the office by 8:45, grab some coffee, and get right to "work".

The staff here knows not to hit me with anything when I first walk in the door either. I can barely manage a "hi" when I walk through the door. Don't talk to me until I'm ready to talk to you.
 
Alarm goes off at 6am
Begg for sex (9 times out of 10 = no sex)

Wife wakes me up at 7:15 on her way out the door
Get up take shower, eat "some thing"
Leave the house about 8-8:15
Sign says work starts at 8
I am the first one there at 8:15-8:30
phuck off till 5 and go home
 
Coffee maker starts brewing at 5:25. Alarm rings at 5:30. Pee. Pour coffee. Let dog out to to pee while I drink coffee and have a smoke. Feed dog. S, S, S. Leave at 6:15. Get to work at 7:00. Boot Computer. Grab coffee and smoke. Fire up programs, check email and SO. :D
 
Coffee starts brewing at 6:15. Alarm goes off at 6:45. Get up by 6:52. Close the bedroom window (we always sleep with it open in the winter), pee, get coffee, take my HBP pill, shower, put on makeup, dry/style hair, get leftovers out of the fridge for lunch, leave for work by 7:25, at work by 7:50/7:55, start work at 8AM.
 
Alarm goes off at 6 - 2 snoozes. Tell my wife to get out of bed. She puts on the weather channel - I let it play through once before I groggily start *****ing and telling her to put it on CMT; she does so.

I rise up about 6:50, tell my wife that she is correct - Miranda Lambert is indeed hot, brush teeth, go to my garage and run about a mile or mile and a half, do a few pushups, get in the shower - crank the IPOD shower radio we got as a x-mas gift, let the dog out while I mix up a fiber drink, go outside and start the truck, come back inside and throw on a shirt and tie while the truck warms up, drive to work cranking E-Street Radio on Sirius, arrive about 8:00.

When we get busy again, I will back this routine up by a half hour so that I get to work about 7:30.

Running in the morning gets you awake and gives you more energy throughout the entire day - try it if you don't believe me.
 
I usually wake up before the alarm which depending on Ian's schedule fluctuates between 5:00 and 5:45, So I lay there wondering if he forget to turn on the alarm and wondering when the thing is going to ring. For some reason I can't wait to get up, sometimes I ask "did you turn the alarm on", but then he gets ****ed for waking him up, so I try to resist the urge. Then I go pee, brush my teeth, dig Kirby out from under the covers, carry him downstairs to his litter box, put the news on, hopefully I set the coffee up to brew the night before, pour my coffee, put it in the microwave for 30 sec, (some reason it is never hot enough) clean up the newspapers from the litter box, then add cool whip to my decaf and start doing some chores, straighten up the house, unload the dishwasher, put laundry away, I walk around with the coffee doing something for about 35 min or two cups of worth of time. Then I head to the gym for about an hour and half. Come back home get another cup of decaf change out of gym clothes and at 8:15ish sit down at my home office desk, look at emails or SOS, then about 9:30 or 10:00 eat some breakfast and look at SOS again.

Weekday:
Alarm goes off at 6:30...hit snooze for a good 1/2 hr....realize that I overslept and run to the shower, then shave, brush teeth (4 mins on the Sonicare toothbrush). Dress, grab my workout clothes for the gym (after work) and head out the door at 7:30ish and at work between 7:45 and 8. I used to get to work between 7 and 7:30, but my bank decided not to give bonus' this year so people trickle in much later these days. First time since I started in my field that I have not gotten a bonus.

My office is actually on the water in Greenwich, CT and we do have docks. Last year I took my boat to work one morning, but it proved to be a lot more work then its worth. Basically have to get up two hrs earlier to get in at the same time.
 
Alarm goes off at 5:10 because the wife can't function without hitting snooze twice. Get dressed then feed the dogs and let them out. Make sandwich for lunch and two protein shakes for me and the wife to drink for breakfast. Try to make it back to the bathroom before she gets out of the shower. Drink shake, brush teeth again, and out the door by 6. At work by 6:30, log into both computer, check 3 email accounts, SOS, OSO, an LSU message board, and skim the local paper online. Transfer all the leftover stuff from yesterday's to-do list to today's and get to work.
