Ha ha! Loved reading this! What would be your before and afters for weekend mornings? Heres mine: Before: wake up, look at clock, its before 9am therefore ridiculous to consider getting up. Roll over, get comfy, go back to sleep for an hour or two. Get up when the need to pee can no longer be ignored. Enjoy a quiet moment to yourself before making a lovely breakfast and then lounge on the sofa taking your hot cup of coffee and full control over the TV blissfully for granted. After: hear toddler babbling at 5.50am, try to ignore and go back to sleep. 5 mins later babbling turns to whinging so go in to re-settle them. Re-settling fails miserably & so you bring a wide awake toddler into your bed with the deluded hope that that will somehow allow you to get more sleep. After 20 mins of being used as a climbing frame, snotty kisses and having your face sat on allowing you to get a good lungful of pee-soaked nappy, you admit defeat and decide it would be slightly less hellish just to get up. You grab toddler and try to creep past the pre-schoolers bedroom so that you can at least ease into the morning by only having to deal with the child that does not speak yet. You are just congratulating yourself for your pink panther-esque stealth when you hear a cheery good morning mummy come from the previously peaceful bedroom. You then spend the next 10 mins dealing with 3 wide awake kids bodily functions before seeing to your own whilst having to say no to an onslaught of fanciful and inappropriate breakfast suggestions (no, you cant have an ice lolly in a cup....because its breakfast...because I SAID SO!!). When you finally get to sit down and drink your (luke warm) coffee, it is in the company of obnoxiously cheery CBeebies presenters. Before you get to the end of your cup, its already time to clean up the disproportionate amount of mess that 3 bowls of cheerios in the hands of 3 kids has made. Its not even 7.30.... pinterest/pin/420312577696859328/
