Do you get up before your kids?

Hello ladies,

I was just curious to see if you get up before your kiddos. I would really like to now that Titus is sleeping longer at night and in his crib, but it is so hard to do that. It is so tempting to get the extra sleep. But, when I have gotten up before them my day goes so much smoother. I get my quiet time, a load of laundry folded, shower, etc. I wish I didn't need to sleep.

I sleep til' they sleep, I've tried to get up before them for the same reasons you do, but I can never bring myself to it.

I try to, and sometimes I succeed. Noah usually sleeps until eight and I tell myself that if Makynzie wakes up after five that I'll stay awake - usually to get in a workout on the treadmill. If she gets up between five or six she'll have a bottle and go back to sleep. Then I get some peace and quiet and coffee and treadmill time before Noah wakes up. I notice that the day is much easier too when I get up and get things done early and I can get things out of the way that I don't have to worry about later.

I used to get up an hour before my DD so i could have my coffee and watch something other than Curoius George or Clifford.

Sometimes I get up with my husband around 5:30 to make his lunch then usually back to bed I go! Usually Ben will wake up as Jared leaves so Ben will lay with me to sleep. The small quiet time is nice when I get it though.

I do more often then not, I have a built in alarm, so I got used to getting up at 5:30 when Tony was in the shower and kids were still sleeping. I get up now around 6 and the baby follows me about 6:30-7:30, I get my coffee in and some Sigs before he gets up, then I had to get the kids off to school. But it's summer now, so no more school after Wed. I think it's my sanity, I enjoy that time when it's quiet. I don't function well when I wake up with the baby.
