I have to admit it takes me way to long to get me and the kids ready in the morning. I'm not a morning person so I usually get up when the kids get up which is around 7:30 to 8:00. I get the kids breakfast, then clean up. Then I try to get the kids content with something (which is usually a video to watch) long enough for me to take a shower. But of course there has to be a fight over what movie to watch (We cancelled our cable a while ago and just have an antenna now, and we do not get any channels with cartoons. Man I miss the Disney and Nick Jr. channels.) So now I've finally got my shower over with, and I move onto hair and makeup. If I were able to do this without any distractions it would normally take me 30 minutes, but with my curious climbing little boy it takes me twice the time. He loves to climb on the toilet then onto the counter. I'm constantly pulling him off the counter. To bad he is not more entertained by whatever movie is playing. One day he decided to watch instead. He got into the sink and was just watching me. I pulled him down, and he got up into the sink and did the same thing. After a few times of this I figured he's not hurting anything so I let him watch me while he chilled in the sink.

I know that almost all of my morning chaos could be solved if I would wake up an hour earlier and get myself ready before the kids get up. It seems so simple, but WHY CAN'T I DO IT.
