Normal school day:
6:15: Wake up Miranda.
6:16 - 6:20: Cuddle with Miranda and coax her out of warm bed.
6:20: Wake up Riley.
6:20 - 6:30: Miranda gets dressed; I help her do her hair.
6:30: Miranda starts eating breakfast.
6:30- 6:40: Some time in here Riley makes an appearance, hopefully already dressed in his school uniform.
6:40 - 7:00: Some time in here Riley eats, brushes his teeth, packs up his school stuff and packs up his snack (both of which should have been done the night before).
6:55 - 7:00: Miranda brushes her teeth, gathers up her school stuff.
Of course, I help or nag this whole time depending on whether or not we are having a good morning. "Miranda eat." "Miranda eat." "Miranda, are you eating?" "Miranda, you cannot talk and eat at the same time."
I make lunches, remind kids not to forget gym clothes, snacks, library books. I help look for missing gloves, make sure they have their snow pants and that they didn't forget to pack their lunches...you know the drill.
7:00: Kids out the door. (Me too, the days I drive carpool.)
Snow Day:
5:30: Miranda wakes up.
5:45: Riley wakes up.
Enough said.
