8 Things and My Schedule

My Schedule

5:15 am – get up, make coffee, feed the cat, get in the shower
5:25 am – get out of the shower and wash my face with all the crap that is supposed to be good for my skin.
5:30 am – grap makeup bag and mirror, pour my coffee, turn on the TV and stare blankly at the screen for a good 5-7 minutes.
5:40 ish am – put on makeup and continue to stare at the TV and try to recall what they were just talking about 2 minutes prior.
6:00 am – walk into the closet and figure out what the heck I am going to wear.
6:15 am – finally figured out what to wear and start in on the hair, drying it first and then taking the flat iron to it ( all the while, listening for movement upstairs to make sure Aubry actually woke up to her alarm)
6:40 am – rinse out coffee cup, tell Aubry and Hunter bye and head out the door for work.
*side note: I am slow to wake up….if I have to get ready quickly, I can do it 45 minutes. I just don’t like to get up and rush around.
7:20 am – arrive work and do the whole work thing.
