Get Out of Bed Before Your Kids Wake Up!

Submitted by ceoMom 249, Lisa

I always find that the days I get up at least an hour before my kids start calling "mommy," the whole day goes better. I have time to exercise and shower without stress, get a few chores done around the house, get breakfast set out and enjoy a clean, quite home for a little while. Then, when the kids wake up, I feel like I have a jump start on the day and can actually spend more quality time with my little ones! It makes for a great day!!!

Just out of curiosity... what time do you have to get up to do that?

out of just as much curiosity, what time do you have to get up to do that, and what time do you go to bed?

I usually try to get up around 5:15 - 5:30 (depending on if I am truly going to do EVERYTHING I want to do before they get up). My youngest two (twin 2 year olds) usually get up around 7:00 if I am lucky! I had to shift when I went to bed; that's for sure! I found that my night times (from 10 on) were kind of taken over by t.v. watching that just made me numb and I was always mad at myself for not getting to bed earlier. It truly does make a difference and I am a happier mom because of it!

I have been doing this for months! I started by getting up to exercise and shower; and now am getting things ready for the day for my home daycare or just relaxing and reading. It is great "me" time to do whatever I want.
