I slowly make my way out of bed to take my first pain med of the day. Then if I beat hubby up, I start coffee and feed cat. Then I get my bed all set up with propup pillows and heated throw, where I sit drinking my coffee and having my Bible reading time.

After that I have b'fast, read on computer, then think about getting up to get ready for the day, so I can at least do something!

Take off my CPAP, visit the bathroom, feed the dog and let her out, and then make my tea and drink my tea while checking out what's going on the Internet while my brain tries to wake up.

Spend a few minutes snuggling with my dog - always improves my attitude :) Then it's off to the bathroom to shower, dress, and get ready for work.

When I wake up in the morning my first thought is"seriously it's time to get up already!!" Then I haul my happy hiney out of bed and take a shower. It is a good thing my husband has already left for work. I am NOT a morning person. I get dressed, let the dog out, put my face on and do devotions. Then I put the dog in his bed and go off to school.

After I go to school I have my coffee. By the time the kiddos are there I am ready to go. I have a system anymore. Get in my way and I am not a cheery person.

Well I wake up, do some slow easy stretches. Then I set up on the side of the bed, put my slippers on. go to the bathroom, put the coffee on, turn on the bathroom heater. Next I settle in the recliner with my blanket, check out the computer while I drink my coffee. Then back into the bathroom, where it is warmer, do my teeth and face, makeup if I have to go out or have someone coming. Get dressed if I have to go out or have someone coming. There are days I just stay in my pjs. I usually bathe at night and I usually always set my clothes out the night before.

When I first wake up I usually roll over and try my best to get some more sleep. When it's apparent I'm not getting any more shut eye time I get up and head to the bathroom. I then make some tea and oatmeal and snuggle up under a blanket with my heating pad to watch the news. My morning routine of waking up usually takes around 2 hours. I then head to starbucks for a latte and to study for a few hours.

Take pain med, turn heating pad on, and sleep for another hour or two., sometimes longer. Then I get up, and move to the couch, turn on TV, laptop, heating pad, and sit there with my blanket and pillow for a while til I'm awake enough to do anything else. I'm too tired to fix food to eat, even cereal. I'm usually just generally feeling sick to my stomach, and food doesn't even appeal to me.

I set my alarm for 15 minutes before I plan to roll out of bed and snuggle up with my BF.

here lately, I've had a hard time getting up on time so usually, if I wake up late, I get my kids up so they can get ready for school, make my coffee, take my meds and sit in my bed until they kick in.... OR.... get the kids up, watch them get dressed and go out there door, go back to bed until my 3 year old wakes me up, THEN get my coffee and take my meds and wait for them to kick in!

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose first response was "roll over and go back to sleep". :-)

I'm lucky that my sweetie brings me coffee in bed in the morning before he leaves for work. So when I finally wake up enough, I roll over, grab my cold cup of coffee, and sip it in bed with my eyes closed. By the time I finish it I'm able to open my eyes... although I've been known to fall back asleep with the mug in my hands.

I hate those days when I have to get up, dressed and out the door early. I can work from home, so I often get up, get my laptop and second cup of coffee, and go back to bed.
