Thank-you COFFEE For Making Crazy Mornings A Bit Easier To Handle........

Every morning I get up 30min before the "start time of the day" witch is 7am, just so i can wake up, have a cup of much needed so good coffee, and the best part I get to go pee with out anyone in the bathroom with me, It seems like no matter when I go to the bathroom I ALWAYS have a follower and if i lock the door so they can't come in, they knock bang on the door asking "MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE" really do they honestly think i would be in there having a party of some sort they just don't want to miss? the doctor was not kidding when I went for my first appointment when i was prego with Aidan that i was never going to get my privacy back. LOL. boy if  i knew then what i know now.
Before the kids have to get up i usually get a full HOT cup of coffee down.
So at the start time i go and wake the ONLY necessary people, Aidan and Edina and if i am really having a lucky day Rhiannon will stay sleeping for as long as i can keep the other 2 quite, this does not happen often and if shes awake she just follows along with the routine, I make them breakfast i sit them at the table apart from each other because if they are beside each other they WILL fight it never fails, as they eat their breakfast i make lunches and pack the back packs and if i am lucky i will have gotten a sip of coffee in, then its time to get dresses, the rule in this house is that sweat pants can only be worn one day of the 5 day school cycle, Aidan will always argue this EVERY morning with me and try his hardest to wheel and deal some chore with me to allow him to wear sweats more than 1 day, I don't give in, he just thinks he can change my mind with a bribe.
after they are dressed the whole keep the kids separate still applies, they have to brush their teeth but one at a time in the bathroom, if not someone will find something to start a fight. gosh all they have to do is just look at each other wrong and all hell breaks loose.
after teeth brushing the hair must be at least brushed to remove bed head.
this whole process believe it or not takes 1hr to complete they then must get the whole out door gear on and with it being winter and snow outside they have to wear their snow suits which i have to remind myself to tell them to go to the bathroom before you get the snow suits on.......yes this happened today, after they were ALL dressed Edina looks at me and says what every parent dreads to hear when they wait for the bus all bundled up in their snow suit " mommy i have to go POOP" I asked her why she did not go before she got her snow suit on and she simply said i only had to pee. and as i look at the clock, and take a deep breath  i know the bus will be here in a matter of minutes. OK lets get ALL this stuff off and go to the bathroom, its amazing how when you say "your gonna miss the bus if you don't hurry up", how quickly going poop can take we spend more time getting the snow suit back on than it took for her to go, wipe, flush, and wash hands.
as they leave on the bus, than if Rhiannon has not all ready gotten up from all of the noise then it time to get her breakfast and I get to drink my 2nd cup of coffee COLD because it got to sit and wait for me to sort out the morning crazy routine.
So as crazy as my mornings are COFFEE with CAFFINE is still my hero to save me as I wake in the morning, I LOVE YOU COFFEE. thanks for making my mornings possible.
Have a good day, I know i will because I GOT MY HOT COFFEE IN MY HAND!!!!!! MMMMMMM!
