    Interesting that those who work outside the home tend to think of the end of their morning routine at the point they leave for work.

    A lot of early morning people.....if I wake up a 4am I think 'great! Another 2 hours before my alarm goes off'.....then turn over and go back to sleep!
    I envy your dedication to early morning exercise....one day (maybe!) That will be me

    I work from home, and am not going to share my (lack of) morning routine.

    (I make up for it at tax time, though.)

    6:00 wake up & stumble to shower (after hitting a snooze on the alarm that goes off at 5:50)
    6:30 dressed, make-up, hair and nudge husband out of bed as I flip on lights and the local news
    6:45 wake baby and dress for daycare, feed if fussy
    7:00 wake toddler and begin battle of picking clothes that somewhat match, brushing teeth that don't want brushed, and convincing her to wear shoes
    7:10 grab quick bite for toddler (always hungry despite daycare feeding breakfast too) as I toss an egg in the pan for my breakfast
    7:20 hustle husband and kids out the door
    7:30 wrap up a couple chores if time - put away dishes, make a bed, or toss some toys into a bin
    Head to work with coffee and shovel egg into mouth as I rush out the door (if I had time to cook it!)
    HA - mornings are crazy! And evenings just as crazy or more! life with little ones and a full time job
