What's Your Pre Daycare Schedule Like Every A.M.?

[Michelle]

5:00 a.m. -wake up
5:15 am- wake up again
5:30 a.m. - wake up for real
then get dressed/ready and beg dh to make coffee cuz I act like I don't know how to make coffee just to get out of doing it...
even went so far as overfilling the machine with water and it spilled everywhere... so it's his job now! ::

5:45 a.m. scoop up all phones, computers, valuables from LR room
then try to eat, drink coffee, watch news before first baby comes at 6 :00am
He will find whatever valuable I forgot in 5 seconds flat!
Then I make breakfast for everyone and off I go until 6:30 p.m.

THAT is a long day!!! :hug:

yea,
but we make up for it doing "super weekends" shopping, playing, and nonstop fun! I could have never done this before with just my dh's income

NOT a morning person. Roll out of bed at 6:20, get dressed, brush teeth, put hair up, sit in rocking chair on the computer until dcks start arriving at 6:30

10 pm, Sunday - Thursday...

For me the fast paced morning routine allows for my closing routine. THAT one is simple. 1. Close playroom door. 2. Eat dinner with family. 3. Relax

This makes me want to be a morning person! ::

I get up @ 6:15 - my DH is leaving for work then
Shower, blow dry hair - ready by 6:45ish
first child arrives @ 6:50
I drive him, my other kids & middle school child to school @ 7:15
Home from drop off @ 7:25 & next child arrives @ 7:30
I drive my younger kids to school @ 8:30
9:00-9:30- free play
9:30-10:15 - we play outside or go to the park (2 blocks from home)
10:30-craft or preschool learning
11:00 - Read books
11:20 - get lunch ready
11:30ish - eat lunch
12:15 - kids down for naps

I have adopted this schedule almost exactly since school has started, except I usually get up about 5:30 so I can sit and drink coffee for 30 mins or so and wake up. I used to have a later lunch and nap time but used to have later arrivals which I knew slept later. Now my arrivals are earlier and I think they are more than ready for nap at 12:15-12:30. Of course they don't sleep as late but that's okay cause I have to pick up ds at 2:00pm from school.
