On Maternity Leave at the moment but as I work afternoon shifts when Im working its not much different. DH leaves for work at 5 am most mornings.
If DD3 wakes before 6.45 I feed here and then have a shower, if she is still asleep at 6.45 my alarm goes off and I have a quick shower, then feed DD3 when she wakes
Then DD1 and DD2 get up and I supervise them getting breakfast (they are learning to use the microwave to warm their milk for cereal). While they eat I empty the dishwasher. Then I get their clothes ready and they dress themselves with minor assistance, dd2 always checks which feet her shoes go on. Kids do their teeth one at a time while the other has their hair done then we make beds together and DD1 packs her school bag and if its Wednesday (childcare) or Friday (playgroup) DD2 packs her bag too. I always wipe over the bathroom sink and get the toilet isnt a festering mess before we leave
I try and put a load of washing on and get meat out the freezer for dinner, slow cooker on if Im using it that day.
Once the kids are ready they can play, draw or warch TV before its time to go to school.
I always have breakfast but when it fits in depends on DD3 and her wake up. If she is up before 6.30 she often wants another feed before we go to school which is why there is always play time for the big girls. We leave at 8.30 for school. I would like to work morning shifts but I would need to leave the house too early
