What things do you do to start your day? 


***


I have a cup of coffee, some type of cereal, and toast/bagel/muffin.  I try to get online (if I can) or talk quietly to God before I go to school.


Share your morning!

wow what a hectic morning you have with all those dogs!

i generally pull myself out of bed, standing on things which i should have put away the night before, cursing to myself, shouting at other people..make a cup of coffee then forget about it (until its freezing then i go for a drink and get mad even more!)
after that i try to make up my face to make myself look slightly decent, then get dressed, this consists of puttin on odd socks and tops which are inside out!!!

as you can probably tell,, im not a morning person! anyone got ideas on how to feel refreshed and happy in the morning, or am i always gonna stay grumpy.. lol usually by about 9:30 im my nice happy normal self lol! xx

My morning ritual has become very sacred to me.

The first thing I do every morning is brush my teeth! If I am homebound I get the kids off to school and spend a few quiet moments on my sofa just to ground myself for the day. Then it is breakfast, throw in some laundry, and study. If I am going to school I get dressed to the shoes and leave! Usually eat in the car on the way.

Coffee, definitely (see the icon, LOL?!). TJ's Italian Roast! :P While that's brewing, I get dressed & take my Mika dog out back for her to go potty. As she picks out her special spot, I renew a spell of protection for my family, my home & property and vehicles, that we will all come to no harm this day.

Then Mika & I come back inside. She gets her breakfast dog biscuits, I get my coffee and granola bar or oatmeal, and head to the computer. I check email and visit a few discussion boards.

Weekdays DH is up first and my alarm goes off about 40 minutes later, which is just around the time he is bringing me a cup of tea that I drink in bed before getting up. Then it's in the shower and wash my hair. I then dry my hair and style it before getting dressed. Always have to have a good few squirts of perfume and then I head downstairs where I usually sort through washing, empty the dishwasher from the night before and make myself some toast which I have with cup of milk. The last thing I do before leaving the house is clean my teeth, then it's straight off to work. I've got into the habit of doing my affirmations etc in the car on the way to work.

The weekend is similar except much later and whoever wakes first makes the cup of tea for both of us, which we drink in bed before getting up :)

the alarm goes off at 5:30, I pet the kittens for a while, get out of bed, feed the girls ( cats) have oatmeal and organic raisons or ezekiel bread with avacados and tomatoes or omlettes with salsa and decaf or cafex + my vites. Caffeine makes me jittery and raises my blood pressure. Then I make my lunch for work. I eat b'fast in front of the computer. Go upstairs at 6:15, shower, put on make up, kiss the girls good bye and off to the car to say my prayers, pray also not to kill anyone at work with my nurse decisions, not to make mistakes posting orders, that i hear whatever I need to hear ( my ears!) and prayers for people sick, my kids, grandson, the planet, then go to my CD book. I read books in the car. it doubles my reading. Then I am off and running at work. My 3 days off are slower and the order may change. I do like to light the candles and do prayers in the loft if I can on days off. Watching that the girls' tails do not get near the flames. (:- )
Love, Leila
