I've been laughing my azz off reading these...which is what I needed after an exceptionally crappy 14 hour day. I guess I owe mine:
Alarm goes off around 7:20, at which point wife has already showered and let the dogs out, none of which I have heard. (The dogs don't sleep in our room anymore, since you can measure their snoring on the richter scale....especially the 180 lb. one.)
Snooze until around 8:00 - 8:15. Throw on some ratty sweats or shorts. (I work from home, and shower before bed on weeknights). Stumble downstairs, pour coffee. Check e-mail and voice mail for burning issues.
Wife leaves around 8:30 for work with our son in tow, since they are both going to the same pre-school. I take our daughter to school about 10 minutes later, then really start my day's hell in the office.
At least one day a week I go into NYC to see my account, which totally changes the above. On those days, I'm out the door by 6:00 am...not in ratty sweats or shorts. I guess my 5 -6 hours of commuting on that one day a week makes up for the zero commute on the other 4 days.

5:30 alarm -I can usually beat it by a couple minutes. I hate that damned sound.
oatmeal and oj in front of the computer-check out the five forums I am addicted to, and some of the ones I just frequent.
leave by six, it's an hour drive to work.
seven, fire up the laptop at work, check the five forums I keep up with, and a few of the others.
work for about 45 minutes, then check the five forums I keep up with, and a few of the others.
repeat till time to go home.

Tomorrow morning as I make our breakfast and drink my tea I will be thankful for the great life I have.
My wife snoozes for about 20 minutes. It makes me crazy. I get up check emails and cook breakfast while she puts on her face and dresses up all nice. I schedule my first call after rush hour. I hate traffic. Sometimes I only commute to my drive shop or the drive way.
I guess I got it good.
I know I do.

My dog jumps out of the bed and stands in his crate EVERY morning at 8am.
Feed him.
Back to bed.
830 I get up and take more pills than your grandma.
850 I roll to the gym.
1 hour of cardio then home.
Quick health shake. Check emails, SO and others...
Call office for any issues.
Lunch at the local Gents Est.
Then the office for as few mins as possible, usually less than 10.
Showings, contracts, follow-up, etc.
Back home before traffic. More emails, follow-up, SO, etc.
Back to gym for weights at 5.
Home at 7, shower, feed dog, etc.
Off to local bar/rest for dinner, then... probably home to prep next days client needs.
Pretty much the same 7 days a week, unless clients have specials time constraints and all bets are off.
Hmm, guess that was more than my morning routine.
My life sucks I think.

Confession Time: After months of basically ignoring OSO, I now check one thread daily. GLH is redo-ing the Drambuie raceboat. Make sure you follow this thread. So, i now finish my routine by checking that thread, then getting to work.

I get up at 6:30 to take over babie duties so my wife can finish getting ready for work. I give my daughter some breakfast and milk and then we watch the end of dragon tales and Sesame Street while I finish brushing her teeth and putting her shoes on. Then we play for a little bit and about 7:20 I get her jacket on so mommy can run out the door with her and drop her off at daycare so she can be at work at 8 am.
Then I watch the news for a little bit and usually check out "Drive Thru" on Fuel TV and drop the cosby kids off at the pool, shave and get into the shower by 7:45 am (Triple - S"). Get out of the shower and iron my shirt and pants for the day and head off to work by 8:10 stopping at D&D for a coffee and a bagel and get to work by 8:30.
Once I get to work I check emails to see if there's anything urgent I need to do. Take care of the loose ends and the direction for my team... Once the team is working I usually check SO to see if there's anything new and interesting. Then I work on the internet and computer all day searching for candidates, reviewing resumes, formatting resumes and trying to find new clients by making cold calls and cold introductions via web sites like Linked-In, Spoke etc.. It gets pretty frustrating searching on the internet for new clients and consultants all day long so I take frequent pit-stops on SO to clear my head and re-focus! I eat lunch at my desk while I work.
Usually wrap up work about 6pm and head home getting in the door by 6:30. When I get home my wife is home from work and is usually feeding herself and the baby dinner. I play with her for about 30 minutes before she has to take a bath and she goes to bed by 7pm. If there's left overs from dinner I fix myself a plate, if not I make myself some dinner.
After 7pm I work around the house, on the boat, work out or do some more company work on the laptop and of course check SO while my wife heads out to the gym...
I'm in bed by 10 pm except for Wednesday nights which is poker night! :sifone:
