[PrincessNancy96]

I get up at 6:15am...
Since the kids pretty much take care of themselves.. I only have to make lunches, DH makes their breakfast... I despise breakfast at home.. take me out and I'm good... My kids think I'm hilarious!! DH is adamant about his morning breakfast and it gives him time with the kids in the morning... (well, not the bigger ones now... they refuse to get up an hour early except first day of school for photo session)...
So, I'm plugging away while making sure all the others are on track..

Plus before we go to bed every night we have family clean time.. at each of the commercials of one of our shows each of us is assigned a task.... that way when I go to bed at night, I have a clean house (or straightened house) when I get up in the morning...

It's just something that works for us...

that's great your DH does breakfast for the family!
I try to keep Megan on task at night too, but she has a tendancy to want to leave out whatever she is playing with for a few days since she usually does one thing a few days at a time....she likes to pile up her desk, have no idea where she gets that
I'm usually not to motivated in the morning, mostly on the computer until Megan gets up, since she doesn't start school until 9 we don't have to rush about which is nice, know that will change next year with middle school!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Next year all 3 of my kids will be on the middle school/high school schedule... So I will probably still get up to see DH out the door...but the kids won't see him except the first day or days he is home....

DS10 starts school at 7:45am.. so he is on the bus by 7:10am
The MS/HS start about 8:30... so if they rode the bus they are on by 8:10am.. However, DS10 has already explained to DD that he could care less about her HS activities and the fact that it is her senior year that she will be driving him to school every morning! LOL

I did get to see dad's doctor this morning. He was positive but worried about the amount of cancer in the bones (not the reason specifically he is in the hospital) but seemed to think daddy would be able to fight it. Mainly concerned that although the chemo did great last summer they haven't found a good way to keep the cancer from spreading when he is not in the midst of chemo.

hope they can find something that will work to keep the cancer from spreading so he doesn't have to continue with the chemo!

Rebecca, Hoping they come up with a solution that's workable.

TRM - how's Little One after you leave her at PS? Does she do okay once you're gone? I say give it another 2 weeks or so. She may continue to cry before you drop her off, but if she's fine once you're gone...

I'm working. Horrible headache. Want to go home and go to bed.

Jennifer, feel better! how is your MIL?

TRM - I agree, Megan had some of the same issues when she started preschool, but didn't cry after I left her...they just like making us feel guilty i think!

 

[morgansmom2000]

She came home from the hospital last Thursday. She's pretty much the same. Still a bit unwell between the flu and the pneumonia, just not feeling great. Thanks for asking.

your welcome....hope she feels better soon! keeping you all in our prayers

TRM--when Rachel started preschool at age 3 she stood at the window and cried the entire time I was gone! We let her cry for 2 weeks before I started working at the preschool in her classroom. Even though I was there she still stood at the window & cried for another week. Clearly she doesn't like change!
