Confession time! I have to play a little game with myself EVERY morning in order to get myself out of bed and working on MyDFWMommy. You see, in addition to my blog, I also have a full-time job. So my alarm goes off at 5:15 a.m. so I can spend a few hours posting on the website before my gals take over at 10 a.m.
So when the alarm goes off, I go to the bathroom and get straight on the computer. I go through emails and start finding deals. I have to post exactly 7 deals before I award myself that cup of joe that is calling my name. Weird, right? I mean, you’d think I would grab the coffee first to get myself going, but NO! It’s like Pavlov’s theory… and this is 7 days a WEEK, guys! I’ve done this for years. And it’s not uncommon for my husband who wakes up at 7 to have the first cup of coffee in the house.
Then after I’ve made my daughter’s lunch, I get her up, then I get dressed for the day and award myself a protein bar. Yep, every day. It’s kind of embarrassing to admit, but this is how I get myself going every darn morning. Yep, this is my Morning Approved Routine!
On special mornings or often when Geno is travelling, Ava and I will treat ourselves at RaceTrac on the way to school to break up the monotony. That’s when I get a second cup of coffee, and the special coffee, you know, “the good stuff”. I’ll also grab Ava a great lunch.
What is your morning routine? I’m dying to know!
