I used to set my alarm for 6:30am, but that didn’t really leave me enough time to get up, make school lunches, and herd the children through their morning routine without an awful lot of hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! So now I set my alarm for 6am – which would work wonderfully well if only I would actually get up at 6am. Instead I tend to hit the snooze button three times and get up closer to 6:20am. Getting up even twenty minutes late still leaves me just enough time to get everything done with a minimum of nagging most mornings.
I had planned to make French toast over the weekend, but since I was actually the last one up both mornings (lucky me!) it didn’t happen. Instead I decided that I’d make it for breakfast today. When I told my husband my plan last night, he scoffed. He gets up at 5:30am and says he always knows what time it is when he hears my alarm going off over and over again.
I took it as a personal challenge to get up on time this morning.
I admit I still hit snooze 2x, but even getting up 5 minutes earlier than usual left me time to make four pieces of French toast for the children this morning. Just imagine what I could get done in a day if I got up the first time the alarm went off? If I got up when my husband does, I could practically take over the world!
