The Pre-Dawn Shuffle

Ok, it's truly not pre-dawn but it sure feels like it. Kids out the door at 7:10am to catch the bus. Hubby out the door by 7:20am to drive the 20 minutes to work. Our kitchen left in a post-tornado state after the morning shuffle is done. I sit in my kitchen chair, sigh, and begin to clean up, coffee mug glued to my hand.

I'm ready for this to be done. I don't have some glamorized view of what home school mornings will look like but seriously...it has to be better than this. I've considered purchasing a cattle prod for the last month of school to jolt my kids out of bed in the morning. It's funny how they rise and shine at 6:45am on Saturday but 6:30am on a Thursday is, "TOO EARLY!!"

Anyway, I'm sure I'll post this fall how our morning is once we start home school. I'm praying for a little more peace and a little less tornado.
