Our/My Morning Routine

Relationships are about compromise, correct?  We're pretty good at it for the most part.  Other than my morning routine, that is.  I don't like when it is changed or gets interrupted.  Gavin on the other hand lives his life with zero routine!  It drives me NUTS!  I think he feels this in return.  My day is run down almost to the minute because of school and I struggle to not do this at home as well.

Morning is my favorite time of the day. Like, I LOVE mornings.  I like being up early and getting things done.  My early is probably considered night time by most of you...  I am excited to get up and get my day  underway, workout, and head off to school.  I am typically up before my alarm and lay there until it goes off.  I will sometimes push snooze and lay there till 4 if there isn't any laundry.  Here is a little run down of our morning routine battle.  Keep in mind that Gavin HATES morning and anything that has to do with it.  Like with all of his life HATES morning.  Let's be honest, he could be a professional sleeper.

3:55--My alarm goes off. Gavin doesn't even hear it.  I get up and fold laundry and get another load started.  Typically do some sort of cleaning.  I hate doing this at night.  When I get home from school or a night work out, I like to eat supper and sit on my rear and do nothing.  I have a case of the "Rottink's" as well because as soon as I sit down I fall asleep.  Watching a movie or any t.v. show is virtually impossible.

4:20--Give Gavin a wake up call from closet.  It's dangerous to wake him up.  Kind of like waking a sleeping bear.  I feel zero love in the morning and I find this whole process kind of funny.

4:25--Laugh at Gavin moaning and groaning about having to be awake.

4:27--Remind him he has to get out of bed and getting ready for the gym.

4:29--Not so nicely urge him to get up and get moving.

4:30--Start making the bed with him in or out of it.

4:35--Head downstairs to get my workout bag, fill our water bottles, and get in the truck.  Pray that Gavin didn't go back to bed.  Typically do some Facebook creeping at this point as I wait.

4:40--Hopefully we are on the road to the gym.

5:00-6:00--Workout.  Watch as Gavin trickles in late.  We come in the same car but he is still moving real slow at this point and never makes it in for the stretching.

6:10--Get the truck and pull up to pick Gavin up at the door.

6:20-7:15--Get ready for school, feed the dogs, eat breakfast, pack my lunch, and head for school.  In that order, always!

By the time I get to school, I typically feel like I have run a marathon already but struggle if it is any other way!
