i have two night owl kids, so i like to get up before them so i get time to myself. DS is usually in our bed by morning so i feed him and then he goes back to sleep and i sneak out. i would love to shower first thing (sometimes i do) but i am scared it will wake one or both of them.

i might check out the computer, do a little study or (my fave) is to cut out patterns which is difficult to do when the kids are around. alternatives are to fold washing or tidy up - things that the kids make harder to do.

some days i will make eggs on toast and enjoy them all to myself.

would love to be able to go for a walk or bikeride by myself, but dh is definitely not a morning person (if he is home), and so i have to be around for the kids.

hanging washing on the line by myself is also a novelty.

this is all sounding boring now i write it down, but on days when i don't get this me time, i am much less tolerant.

oh, and i go to the toilet by myself.
