1) I have to wake up at a specific time, and i'm of the opinion that there shouldn't even be a 6 am!!
2) Every weekday the baby will have me up to early to stay up for the day, but to late for me to go back to bed without worrying i'm going to sleep in and therefor miss the school bus!
3) I have to wake my 7 year old up which i can honestly say makes me worry about the teen years considering I have to strip him of his blanket and pester him for 10 minutes to get him to notice i'm there as it is, all while trying to let the 4 year old sleep which almost never works.
4) Trying to convince the big one to get dressed and ready for school, including making sure his back pack is packed (which was supposed to be done the night before but isn't) and all of his winter gear is by the door ready to go.
5) The breakfast debate, every mother is familiar with this, it never goes smoothly when you're on a schedule! They never want to eat the same thing, someone always wants something completely unreasonable, and they end up eating in a hurry. This causes problems for meals the rest of the day when you tell them to slow down, and that they don't need to shovel their mouths so full!
6) Packing a lunch for school, he is in grade 2 and requires his sandwich or soup, drink, and at least 4 snacks for his day... That is 6 small debates all while trying to get him to actually eat the breakfast we settled on!
7) By now we're behind schedule, so I have to push the oldest that much harder to get on his touque, sweater, ski pants, boots, jacket, mitts and scarf before the bus arrives while I end up packing his back pack since it still didn't get done!
8) After we somehow manage to get all this accomplished so we're ready by the pick up time, his school bus is 5 minutes late, causing whinning about being to hot, being bored, tired legs, ect...
9) Trying to get all of this done on that schedule while the baby needs to eat, be changed, and just gripe at me for not looking at him every minute, and a 4 year old pushing his way into the middle whining because his brother "has so many important things to do and he has none!!"
