We get out of bed around 4:30 - 5:00. While DH is preparing breakfast for the cats, I'm on the treadmill in the basement. Then I clean out litterboxes and straighten up the house. I make the bed (if I can get to the bed before the cats do, that is) and throw clothes into the laundry basket. DH dumps the dehumidifier in the basement on plants outside, then walks up to inspect the garden. We clean Tabby's ears out and give her her meds. Then we give Whisper her meds; she's on antibiotics for dental problems. After DH leaves for work, I grab my shower, do my hair, and get dressed for work. If BooBoo wants to Bounce, then he and I will do our little Bounce routine for about five or so, depending on what kind of mood he's in and how long he wants to Bounce. While I'm brushing my teeth, I'm holding Mollipop and walking through the house, while she bats at my toothbrush, purring the whole time. (I put her down to floss because I need both my hands.)
If I have a few minutes, I'll check my email and browse through the morning paper online.
While I'm getting my lunch ready (apple, yogurt, and diet Mt. Dew in my little lunch bag), I'm also giving Molli and Tabby their snack...I know, they ate breakfast at 5:00, but by 7:00, they're starving! Mollipop gets a few pieces of dry kibble; Tabby gets canned food warmed up a bit in the microwave. Sometimes BooBoo will decide that he's starving, too, so then he gets a few pieces of kibble. While they eat, I'm preparing marinade for whatever we're grilling that night or preparing something for the crock pot, if we're using that. A quick wipe-down of kitchen counters and I'm out the door to leave for work. And I always touch every cat and tell them that I love them, but I must work so that they don't starve.
They don't care.
Once at work, I get the Keurig ready and have my first cup of coffee. Timothy's Italian Blend makes my morning worth coming into work.
And then I hit TCS and other boards.
What are your mornings like?
