Saying Yes To…my morning routine

Depending on the day, morning can be the best or worst time of the day.

With school back in session, I often find myself wanting to spike my coffee after wrangling the children out of bed. and out the door Since that’s frowned up in carpool, I’m forced to cope in other ways. I’ve got three parts of my morning that are critical to my day’s success.

To start my day off right, I wake up first. It sort of kills me, but it’s key. I’ve learned that an extra half an hour in the morning makes everything go so much more smoothly.

Every morning, I Say Yes to… an extra hot shower. I clear out the bath toys, make sure I have a clean towel, and stay in there until I feel awake. The steamier the better. Some days it takes longer than others. I have my own stash of products kept out of the reach from the roommates who are still fascinated by bubbles and how gravity works.

Every morning, I employ my coffee maker. Because damn. Morning without coffee isn’t pretty.

I can adapt almost any other part of my routine, but those to three things have to happen if i want my day to be on track.
