Thirteen things I do when I get up in the morning.<\/center><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Hit the snooze button<\/strong> &#8211; I set my alarm clock a few minutes early just so I can hit the snooze button at least 2x before I crawl out of bed each morning. I don&#8217;t know why I bother.  Once the dogs are up, I&#8217;m expected to get up too.  They do everything their little brains can think of to get me out of bed. Fifty pound dogs jumping on your chest to wake you up is not a pleasant way to get up in the morning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let the dogs out <\/strong>&#8211; Better to do it now than risk having them trip me when I&#8217;m trying to eat. If the hubby is home, they just go outside to play when I wake up. On cold or rainy days I can&#8217;t go very far because they&#8217;ll be desperate to get back inside as soon as possible. If it&#8217;s warm or snowing, it&#8217;s next to impossible to get them back inside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breakfast<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m not a big breakfast person. Normally it&#8217;s limited to yogurt, fruit and juice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill the dog and cat food and water dishes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Brush my teeth <\/strong>&#8211; A necessity after eating breakfast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shower<\/strong> &#8211; &#8216;Nuff said.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pick out clothes to wear<\/strong> &#8211; Small house means small closets. I run back and forth between three rooms trying to determine what to wear, which blouses match which pants, etc. I love Fridays simply because I get to dress in T-shirts and jeans. No colour coding required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find my glasses<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve been wearing glasses for over 1\/2 of my life. You&#8217;d think by now that I&#8217;d have a set place where I put them when I take them off before bed. That would make sense. I never seem to take them off in the same place twice and I can never remember where I put them the next morning. Some days this can result in an amusing running around like a chicken with my head cut off routine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the weather<\/strong> &#8211; If I were smart, I&#8217;d check the weather when I let the dogs out. Most morning my eyes are barely open when they run past my legs and head for the yard.  Smart doesn&#8217;t happen until after my first coffee in the morning&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change my clothes<\/strong> &#8211; See, if I checked the weather before I got dressed, I wouldn&#8217;t waste time changing clothes. After checking the weather I&#8217;ll usually change something: put on a sweater, add socks, put on a blouse, change my pants, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix my hair<\/strong> &#8211; I can&#8217;t do my hair until I get dressed. If I don&#8217;t put my clothes on first, my hair will stick out everywhere.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make\/Grab lunch <\/strong>&#8211; Mad dash search to find sustenance to take to work.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Mommy&#8217;s got to go to work<\/strong>&#8221; &#8211; When the door opens, the dogs want to go out and play. I&#8217;ve trained the dogs to back away from the door and let me out in the morning by saying &#8220;Mommy&#8217;s got to go to work&#8221;. They&#8217;re so well trained that they&#8217;ll walk away from the door and let me out on weekends or in the evening when I say this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Thanks to my T13 visitors who&#8217;ve dropped by and left a comment: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.titledeleted.com\">Laughing Muse<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/laquet.blogspot.com\">Jo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/slightlydelightful.net\/blog\">Suki<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/scribbit.blogspot.com\">Michelle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caylynn.blogspot.com\">Caylynn<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/tinkerbell-nl.blogspot.com\">Tink<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/looseleafnotes.com\">Colleen<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/skittles0366.blogspot.com\/\">Skittles<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snarkypants.com\">Lisa<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/mentalmommy.blogspot.com\">Brony<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/coffee2go.blogspot.com\">Sanni<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fondofsnape.com\">Janet<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.measi.net\/blog\/\">measi<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/purple4mee.blogspot.com\">Teena<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bondsbigleathercouch.blogspot.com\">Bond<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/aflyoverblog.typepad.com\">DKRaymer<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/carylerg.livejournal.com\">Caryle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/sweetlikekitty.blogspot.com\">Sonny<\/a>.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/thursdaythirteen.com\">Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday.
