Thought I'd start a new thread, since we've been so quiet!
Mondays whether you are SAHM or working, schooling mom, what's your morning routine?
Mine:
Wake up about 4, change & feed the baby, take out the doggies, shower, make lunches for my hubby and i, do a little internet surfing while i have my coffee, the around 5:45ish do my hair/make up and get dressed then around 6 15 wake up baby feed (if he is hungry, which he isnt most of the time) get him ready for the sitter and then my hubby takes him and i go to work ! lol the end!
Wake up 6-7am, depending on when baby wakes up or doesn't... at 7am, I wake up the girls (Natasha mainly but Veronika gets up too) and make them breakfast. During that time the baby usually sleeps or DH feeds him. Then DH makes us coffee and after the girls eat, I dress Natasha, DH has breakfast, etc. At 8:05am DH and her leave, he puts her on the school bus on his way to work. I stay home with the little ones.

Wake up anywhere from 4am to 515 am to feed Lina. If she doesn’t wake me up I wake her up to feed before I get ready for work.
Pump at 530 am, then shower, make my breakfast and lunch. Take the dog out.
At 610 I start the car and go back inside and wake up SO. At 615 I am out the door and on my way to work. Work starts at 7 am.
This morning since I was up at 430 I threw a roast and carrots in the crock pot.
The baby wakes up about 4ish for a bottle (this varies of course)
We go back to sleep. He wakes again for a bottle about 7ish and sometimes will go back to sleep and sometimes is up for the day.
7:30 my 2yo wakes. I get her, grab her a cup of milk and myself a coffee and we cuddle and watch her favourite tv show. Then I put Nathan to sleep, start dishes (bottles and any random late night dishes left over). I take a shower and hen get myself & daughter dressed. Pick out clothes for Nathan and then make us breakfast.
After that is whatever we want or need. (last week it was packing up and takin them to the park for the morning everyday!)
Well...this will all change on Wednesday when I go back to work.
Wake up at 3:45 or so to feed Noah. Put him back to sleep and go back to sleep. Wake up at about 6:30 or 6:45 when DH is getting ready to leave. Joseph is just waking up and Emma has been up and getting ready since DH wakes her up after he showers. I feed Noah again and then start helping Joseph get ready. (Ugh!) I get cleaned up and presentable and change Noah's diaper and get him in the car seat.
Then we all leave and I take Joseph to school and Emma to her bus (she has to take a bus since her school is far away). Then, Noah and I drive to Starbucks to get my coffee (YUM!!!) then back home for coffee, cereal and some computer time. Noah may or may not fall asleep during the drive. If he does, he snoozes in the car seat. If he doesn't, I'll put him in his play mat for his exercises. LOL
DH has off on Mondays so i basically wake up usually between 8 and 9am sometimes 10 (like this morning w00t!) then i feed and change the baby. Today DH is still sleeping so i will have breakfast at some point soon cuz i'm starving. I'll browse the internet for a bit, Gio is currently on my lap then i will put him down for some playmat time when i eat. When DH gets up it probably won't be the morning anymore but we will do our errands
Wake up at 6am so I have time to wake up before I wake Ethan. I get Ethan up at 6:30am so he can eat and get ready for school. Ethan leaves around 7:15am and then Eli is up for the day at 7:30am. After feeding him I have my tea and start my day.
Recently this is how my morning goes.
Wake up at 5:30, Get half way dressed do my hair and make up.
5:45 Wake up Pea and Feed her.
6:00 Dress her, put her milk in her pamper bag. Fill my pump in style with empty bottles and frozen cold pack.
6:10 Put her in car seat, put on my boots and top. Kiss DH good bye.
6:40 Drop Pea off at daycare:
7:30 Get to work
If I am working:
Wake up at 8:30. Shower, get ready for work. Make Duncan a bottle if DH has not already. Eat my breakfast and check my email while DH feeds Dunc. Leave for work at 9:40.
If I am not working:
Sleep until one of the kids wakes me up. Get up and make breakfast. OR Sleep in late and let dh deal with the kids for the morning.
Ravyn woke up at 6:30 this morning which was perfect because that's the time I get the other kids up for school. I changed her, got her dressed, made breakfast for the other kids and drove them to school. I got home, fed her a bottle and she took a morning nap. Most of my weekdays are the same (except for that early nap)

Mine varies a little, but here's a typical morning:
Wake up about 6:30 with Cody, and feed him. Put him back in his P-N-P awake while I shower. After my shower, my older DS and my DD are usually awake. DS gets himself ready for the bus, which comes about 7:45. Get DD out of her bed, dress her, and sit her in front of the TV while I pack up their stuff for daycare. Around 8am - get Cody from his P-N-P (usually he's content for 1/2 hr to 45 mins in it awake!) change him, dress him, and put him in his car seat. Once DS#1 gets on the bus, I get DD and Cody in the car and off to daycare we go. Then off to work I go. Yes, mornings are busy. Make up kit stays either at work or in my car. No coffee until after kids are dropped off or when I get to work.
