For 12 years, I have been the first person up in the house. Every morning I wake everyone up for school, to help people get on the bus, get lunches made, and somehow I am the last to get ready.
The kids don't have alarm clocks. Yet.
Justin doesn't wake up when an alarm goes off.
So I am stuck with the task.
Did I mention that I could get up @ 7:45 and still be ready for work on time? But instead I have to get up at 6:45 to get everyone's bum in gear...even on my days off. I am so programmed to do this that most of the time i wake about 20 mins before the alarm even goes off...even on Sundays.
Even after I wake everyone, only 3 of us stay awake all day. Jaxom and Brenna go to school, there is no nap time, myself, I go to work. Justin immediately goes back to sleep sometimes even befor the bus arrives at 7:34. Gunnar and Odin, well who can blame them for following their dad's cue?
I don't really know what the point of this one was. I guess it's that I don't really understand why I have to be the one to get the ball rolling every single morning. Oh well, I have to go 10 min warning everyone for the bus.
I don't see how you do it! I got PO'd at Rusty for this thing when he was unemployed for the year. Drove me up a wall and there were a TON of fights about it. I don't understand how you have done it for 12 years. I think that hubby needs a rude wake up call! Like not doing his laundry or buying the groceries he wants or something to make him realize he needs to grow a pair and do something as well....
ReplyDeleteOk sorry for my rant, but if anyone needs the wonderwoman title it is you!
I'm first one up at 4am, and last one in at 10pm. I think, that if given the opportunity, I'd sleep for a few days straight. Part of motherhood!
