Just wondering what everyone does to get ready for their day? Do you get up and get showered and put on makeup and get dressed, or lounge around in your pj's until your child takes a nap, then get showered,etc...Just recently I have been showering first thing and getting ready because I just get too tired by the afternoon. ;-)

Today I am still in my pj's. We are on a mini-vacaction from homeschooling so I am just lazing around while my poor Dh paints our school room...lol.


Usually I am up every morning at 5:30 and do my yoga then shower and dress. I dress and even put on shoes and some lipgloss to help me get motivated. There is something about putting on my shoes that makes my brain think "it is time for work!"

Now that my dd goes to school, I am showered and dressed to walk her out to the bus stop and then to drive my ds to preschool. I have a neighbor who comes out every morning in her jammies, but I just don't want everyone to see my awful bed head : )

Before my kids were in school, it would depend on the day when we got ready. If we had something going on in the morning I'd shower and get dressed just in time to get there (usually never before 10 am : ) If we had nothing going on, we stayed in our jammies as long as we wanted. Those of course were the days that people "just dropped by".

I am a morning person, so I like to get up, shower, get dressed, etc.

I get up, and wash my face, brush my hair and teeth, and crawl into sweats and a shirt. Sexy!!! I shower in the afternoon when dd naps or sometimes if I get really busy, I dont shower until when dh gets home. It depends. Mind you, if I know someone is coming over, or I am going out, then I shower right away when I wake up.

I try to get a shower in the morning as soon as I wake up (if not, then in the afternoon when Hannah naps), but it seems I never have time to fix my hair or make-up (thanks to kiddos not cooperating... ugh!) The only time I have to do that is if I get up at 4:30 or 5:00 instead of 5:30. My mornings are usually pretty busy, changing, dressing & feeding Brayden; getting Natalie ready (which takes FOREVER thanks to the ODD); changing & dressing Hannah; making breakfast (when we actually have time for it); getting backpacks, jackets, bottles, and the diaper bag ready; and trying to get everyone in the car and where they are supposed to be on time. Sometimes I'm stuck putting my makeup on in the car while Kyle is driving to work, but lately things have been so crazy, it's been no makeup & my hair in a clip... I feel like such a slob :o(
