What time do you get up?
Those moms that work, I'm sure you have a pretty set routine in the morning since you have to have yourself and the kids out of the house at a certain time. For those of you who are sahm's, do you get up the same time every day? I wish I could/would! I sleep when I can. I am usually up till midnight or later (sometimes MUCH later), so I sleep in if I can. It also depends on how the baby sleeps at night. I get up anywhere between 4:30 am and 9:00 :) This morning, both kids slept till almost 9, and so did I. But there have been plenty of morning where the baby is up at 4:30, and by the time he goes back to sleep, Luke wakes up. However, on a normal day, Luke gets up around 7:30 ish.
I do wish I would get up at the same time everyday. I hate the fact that it's now almost 2:00, and I just now brushed my teeth and got dressed for the day! My days always seem so hectic because they are always so different. I'm hoping once the baby starts sleeping through the night consistently (so far 4 nights in a row...yay!), that I will be able to get up at 6, get my shower, and have a little time to get laundry started, etc. before the kids wake up. It seems like it would make my days so much easier, but I just can't see getting up at a certain time if I haven't had a reasonable amount of sleep...and especially if the kids are going to sleep till 9!
What about you? Do you get up the same time every day and have a routine, or do you go-with-the-flow for the day?
mornings
I am a working mom and I have to be at work at 7:30 in Plymouth which is about a 20-25 minute drive from my house. My son also goes to daycare in Plymouth on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On those days I get up between 530-545 and get in the shower and then I get hubby and son up about 6. Hubby is a lot of help in the morning (since I have been pregnant) He gets up when Brayden needs woke up and he gets him dress for me and something to eat so I don’t have to get up earlier. I finish getting ready as hubby gets son dress and something to eat and then we leave about 6:45. Tuesday and Thursday my son goes to preschool in Bremen. So hubby doesn’t have to leave Bremen until 8 to be at work ontime so he takes him to preschool at 8. I still get up at 6 then I get hubby up at 630 (he likes to be showered before I leave) I make Braydens lunch and pack his backpack. Then I leave about 7. Sometimes my son is up and sometimes he isnt. ON the weekend we all would get up whenever our son got up about 7-8 but I have been sleeping in until about 8-9 which is nice. During the week we have a routine we stick too and the weekend if we don’t have plans we just go with the flow.
Time
When I am working I have to get up at 4:00 am to be at work at 6am.
yikes!
That's really early! What time do you go to bed? I am not a morning person at all! I can stay up all hours of the night, but I have to DRAG my butt out of bed in the mornings, no matter how long I sleep in.

Waking up
I get up between 6:30 and 7:00 in the morning to get my husbands clothes and everything else ready for work and then usually I stay up and get house work done or just relax till my 3 year old is ready to get up.

4:15
I get up at 4:15 to pack Hubby's lunch and get him off to work. Tomorrow he has to go in an hour earlier :( I usually get in the shower ASAP or I never will and I'll want to go back to bed. I get somethings done around the house and then I get Bekka up at 7 and we leave for school at 8. If she doesn't have school or appts I crawl back in bed and fall asleep with a smile on my face, LOL!

Awake
I'll usually get up between 7:30 and 9am. Here lately with Jake getting to sleep later he's waking up later, so I've been sleeping in until 8:30 or 9. I know that if I really want to get Jake back on his schedule I'll have to start waking him up earlier but I've been so tired lately that I haven't much felt like it, ya know?

Does Jake wake you up, or do you get up before him? I'm just curious because you sound like me...sleep when you can! Do you feel disorganized or behind on your day when you sleep till 9?? I always do, but I'd rather feel a bit chaotic than tired! How about you?

I do
Whenever I sleep as late as 9am, I do feel really disorganized and my day just gets off to such a late start. While I enjoy the extra sleep, I feel horrible that I'm running at least an hour behind. I'll usually wake up on my own by 8:30 if nobody has gotten me up yet, but sometimes I will just fall back to sleep in the midst of enjoying the silence, but then as I said before, I feel I've wasted so much time when I do that.
Late sleeper
Jacob has been a blessing as far as sleep. He has slept through the night since he was a month old. I usually go to bed around 11-12 and he is in bed by 8:30 on most nights. He then sleeps till about 8:30-9 the next day and then usually plays in bed for a half hour before 'calling' for me (it's more like high pitched squealing, but hey). I was always usually up around 8:30-9 anyways so it works out great.
