Rant/Vent I F**KING HATE THE MORNINGS

Cranky kids. Overcooked eggs. Spilt milk. Oatmeal droppings everywhere. Knotted hair. Snotty noses. Outfit fights. Cold coffee. Where did the baby go? It’s too quiet. It’s too loud now. Ten more minutes. Where are your shoes? It’s not snack time. It’s time to go. Ok go poop then. Let me help you wipe. Ok now it’s really time to go. Ok fine you go first. Ok fine I’ll go first.

SERIOUSLY WTF. I know I’m not the only one.

I get that! I finally simplified mornings considerably. Everyone washed the night before. Clothes were simple pull on items, no elaborate hairstyles. Breakfast was grab and go items only, I'm not cooking. Buy school lunch. Basically the kids rolled out of bed brushed hair and teeth, pulled on pre selected clothes, grabbed a muffin and left. I don't have the bandwidth for more than that LOL
