Before kids - up around 6:15, shower, breakfast, dress, hair, catch the bus at 7:15.
Now:
Up 6:45 to 7:00
Start making my breakfast, half unload dishwasher whilst getting lunches ready. Make breakfast for kids, argue with them about it, half eat mine
Get girls clothes ready, argue with them about it. Have my shower whilst yelling at the girls to get dressed.
Try to dry off whilst 2 small girls come in to brush teeth and hair. Deal with the "tie up me hair" "she pushed me dramas" whilst still half wet
Get dressed, remember that I still need to do my teeth and hair and possibly deodorant.
Put on makeup, whilst girls cry at me that they want to wear lipstick etc
Tell them to pack bags. Find my shoes, find the dog, lock up dog and try to ignore that has yet again forgotten to feed the chickens, end up feeding the chickens
Argue about shoes with the girls and what they can and cannot take to school/childcare. Feed cats
Load them all in to car
Lock the house
Strap in youngest, go back to house to get whatever has been forgotten.
Hopefully pull out of drive way by 8:20, hopefully walk into work at 9am for my first cuppa for the day and phone call to DH to remind him that he forgot the chickens again
