It’s that time of year.
The time when we have to start waking up on time. To get somewhere, on time.
I decided that we’d spend this week getting used to the new (old) schedule so that when school starts next Monday, it wouldn’t be a shocker.
I’ve been setting my alarm at 6:30, so that I can be up, showered, and ready with breakfast on the table when I wake the kids up at 7:15. So that I can get them up, ready, and out the door by 8:00.
How is it going, you ask?
Well, apparently I like playing this game called “snooze”. Where I try to see how many times I can hit snooze before Blythe wakes up for the day. And in that game, I am able to immediately return to sleep between beeps of the alarm.
Even though, every time I’m woken up all damn night, whether by Alison or Blythe or the dogs or the cats or some cricket chirping like its performing an opera, it takes me a full hour to get back to sleep.
Right now, it’s 9:45 am on Friday. I’m in my pajamas. Blythe is nekkid. Alison is still sleeping.
No one has had breakfast.
I hope no one minds if we all show up in pajamas on Monday. Possibly two hours late, and hungry.

Having to get back into a routine is a cruel price of vacation. I feel for you. Good luck!
whaa. getting up early bites. I’m not a morning person and I LOVES my snooze button. I actual love on it about 4 times each morning. That’s on top of every clock in my house being a certain number of minutes ahead so that in each room I freak out a little about “how late I am”. My other half is not a fan of this whatsoever. Ah well.
GOOD LUCK MONDAY! Put them to bed in their clothes just in case. I’m not above that.
Join the club. I am rarely dressed for drop off-nor are most of the moms I know. I figure, as long as the kids are dressed and fed, we’re all good.
We’re going through the same painful process. It’s harder because the older kids in the neighborhood are out playing while we’re trying to get the girls to sleep at 8:00 p.m.
I started earlier bed times when I got back from BlogHer, but I’ve yet to force mine to get up. We start back to school on Monday. Issa FAIL! 😉
At least we will all be in the same boat. Ha.
I love the snooze button. Sometimes I think I LOVE it too much. And I really hate the mornings when instead of snooze I turn the alarm off and then I’m really late.
No kids to worry about but I totally feel for you, really I do.
Good luck on Monday.
I literally fainted at the idea of getting up early even one day more than is required of me
In actual fact when crickets sound like they are performing opera they actually are performing an opera. Remarkably talented, just lack the required vocal range.
If you show up at all call it a success and have a morning mimosa!
Was it as hard for you as it was for us, to get everyone up and out the freaking door this morning?
You’re taking a Twitter break? Why? Hope everything’s okay. Hugs.
