The 6:00 hour is my time. My time to get up early and relax with some coffee while I check email and start my daily rounds … of blogging. Because when 7:00 hits, pandemonium also hits! The kids get up and it’s a mad race of eating breakfast, making lunches, combing hair, brushing teeth, getting dressed, putting on sunscreen, finding homework, finding library works, and getting out the door - never always in that order and never on time.

So why don’t I get my kids up earlier? Did I mention before that the 6:00 hour is my time?

Well, except for today that is. Last night the girls wanted to watch iCarly and I told them no. It was time for bath and then we were going to do some reading. So they asked me to record it AND asked if they could watch it in the morning. I scoffed and replies, “sure … if you get up early.”

So guess who is up early?!? 30 minutes early. The exact amount of time to watch iCarly. How do they KNOW that? They don’t even have a clock in their room! And of course the baby is up early too. He is never up early.

But maybe, just maybe, we’ll get out of the house on time today.
