Sarah, I find the best and safest thing to do is take Tehya in the shower with me. That way she get's her shower(she has one every morn and a bath at night) and Abbey is safe. As for getting out the door on time, definately get Zanders lunch done the nigth before, even his clothes for the day ready.

I am usually up by around 6 am, thanks to Tehya, and the girls and I are showered/bathed and dressed, Noah is dressed and we are all fed and out of the house by 8.40am, yes it's a run around, but it can be done.

Of course like anything though it takes time to get yourself sorted and into some kind of routine. I used to stress if I'd had a bad morn and Abbey wasn't bathed and fed before school drop off, now I don't care if it doesn't happen. Unless of course I have to go out that day.
