The Morning Is A Battle

Waking up on weekday mornings when you have children means battle, at least it is in my house. A battle to get them ready and out the door on time. Yeah, sounds simple enough to most people, but when you have children that want to do everything other than what you need them to do, it is not as simple as some may think. You tell one child to get pants on, while you try to get something else done, you come back and said child is running around in their underwear using a towel as a cape. Then they are in the bathroom all trying to brush their teeth at the same time, toothpaste gets on the nice clean shirts they just put  on. Once you get through breakfast, and get the snow pants,boots and all the winter gear on, somebody has to pee. As long as everyone gets out the door,to school and work safe and on time, you have won. Victory is short lived, a quick glance at your blackberry and you are reminded it's not Friday, so you have to do it all over again in the morning.

Good luck to everyone in the battle, the battle that is a weekday morning with children.
