Ellie Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 even when the dc were home, we didn't usually get up before 7:30-8. It always seemed like enough time for me:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I get up at 6:55 because I have to leave the house about 7:10 to take my older son to school. Regena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Alfred Academy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Whenever the boys wake me up which is usually around 8:30. That gives me a good hour to get things done before school starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajama Mama Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 6:30 unfortunately. Ds8 goes to a special school so I need to get him ready. Ds8 usually gets picked up around 7:30. I don't wake the other kids until at least 8 so I have a 1/2 hr to myself:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 8:30 on a good day. Usually 9am. I don't sleep well during the night at this stage in my pregnancy (7mos) and so I just can't function before then. I always tell my older dc to have their chores done before I get up (they get up by 7:30 usually) and they can start their schoolwork even if I'm not up. Does that ever happen? NO WAY! But, I've actually been trying to get up and going so we can start by 8:30 now. Glad to see I'm not the only late sleeper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiegirl Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 For the past few weeks, I have been getting up at 5:30 so I can have some alone time before the troops wake up. I love having all of this quiet time before my day gets going at full speed. The problem, though, is that by 1 p.m. I start to get the foggy feeling cause I am sleepy. I was able to forge my way through it today by going on the computer and exercising. But some days I give in and take a bit of a nap. That's not good. :rolleyes: Julia mom of 3 (8,7,5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudoMom Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 5:00. It's my only quiet time of the day (we all go to bed at the same time). I love it, and even wake up this early on the weekends and vacation :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I get up at 5:30 on schooldays so I can have some peace and exercise before school. On weekends it's usually around 8:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tami Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I like to get up at least an hour ahead of my daughter to have prayer and quiet time, a work-out, and a start on chores. If I don't do this, my day doesn't feel as peaceful and I tend to get frazzled. :eek: Getting up an hour and a half earlier that everyone else is even better - though that doesn't happen more than a couple times a week. For me, I wake at 6:30 and dd gets up at 7:30. We start school at 8:15 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieAir Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I get up between 4:30 and 6:30. If I sleep later than 6:30, I feel like I wasted half my morning and I have a hard time getting my day back on track. If I sleep in till 8:00, I feel like a total slug and then I'm mad at myself and grumpy. If I oversleep, I'm also more tired throughout the day. I'm a morning person though. I can't last much past 10:00 p.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle T Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 But I would like it to be earlier so I could exercise for half hour. It's just so hard to get up, our bed is too comfortable! Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy loves Bud Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I get up at about 6 and get the baby and bring her into bed with us, then we sleep until 8-8:30. I'm not a morning person, so I actually get less done overall if I force the early morning thing, because I crash in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 get away with. I am NOT a morning person and 2 of my 3 children aren't either. So with that said I'm usually up by 8am.....albeit reluctantly........I would rather sleep until 9-10am. I work swing shift and don't get off until midnight so it is hard for me to get up at 8am since I don't get to bed until 1-2am usually. I find I get more done at night then I do getting up early Work with your body clock, not against it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pensguys Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm a night owl and definitely not a morning person. If I try to get up early, then I just get grumpy the rest of the week and then sleep WAY late on Sat. I get up between 8-8:30. We start school (the kids do rather) between 8:30-9 with 9 being the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I am SO not a morning person. I wake up at about 6:30, but the kids entertain themselves until about 8:30. Every now and then my husband lets me sleep in and I roll out of bed about 9:15ish...we homeschool in the afternoon, the bulk of it anyway.

Pster Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I wake up at 5:30am during the week. Dh leaves the house at 6:15am so I make him breakfast and pack his lunch while he showers and dresses for work. I am pretty much used to it now. The kids get up pretty early too - usually by 7am and if they eat - we are often starting school by 8am. Funny tho - I still can't get everything done! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandpsmommy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I take any opportunity I get to sleep in on weekends, holidays, etc. Dh has to leave for work at 6:00 am. I get up when his alarm goes off so that I can see him, get his clothes ready for him, set out his medicine, etc. Then, he calls me on his cell phone and we talk during his commute. I really wish that I could get more sleep, but it just isn't feasible right now. Sometimes I do get a lot done in the mornings before the kids get up, but sometimes I am so tired that I just sit and veg at the computer. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K&Rs Mom Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 6:30 is when the kids are allowed to come out of their rooms. Occasionally they'll both sleep in a little, but most days it's exactly 6:30 that one or both is coming to get me. We don't always get up right away, though. Since dh leaves for work earlier, I'm awake from about 5:50 when his alarm goes off. I probably should use that time for something, but am just not that motivated....

KS_ Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 During the weekdays, dh and I get up between 6am and 6:30am. It's a little later on the weekends, but not much. I make my kids stay in their rooms til 8am, just so I can have 1/2 hour to 45 min of peace by myself before I have to start my "official" day :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm up around 7:15 and that is my natural wake up. Eight is a sleep in day for me. I'm better with a good nights sleep and a routine time to get up and turn in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 My ideal is 8 a.m., but dh sets the alarm for 6:30 or 7. Ugh. We are night owls here, everyone staying up til 11 or 11:30.

Mom2legomaniacs Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am a big sleeper -- I need a lot. So, I usually wake naturally by 8. Sometimes it will be 9 if things like (pms) are making me more tired. I usually get in around 9 hours a night. I love to sleep. It just feels great to be all cozy in bed.

cricket1178 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 We get up anywhere between 6 am and 8 am to start school at 8:30 a.m. If we get up earlier, we get more chores done before school and maybe instead of cereal we actually cook breakfast. When the weather is nice, we can take a walk before school. But, we are dressed and ready to begin at 8:30 no matter what (unless something else comes up).:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I get up at 5:50 am so I can meet my exercise partner between 6:15 and 6:30. Dh leaves for work at 6:30. Kids wake up between 7:30 and 8. I am home by 7:30, shower, start a load of laundry and send constant reminders to my kids to finish their morning routine so we can start school between 8:30 and 9. On days that I don't meet my friend to exercise and I am too lazy to do it on my own, I sleep in til abou t 6:30 or 7. If sleep later, the day is a waste. Nothing gets done. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
