Working moms of 3 or more

What is your morning routine like?

Do you shower at night?

Trying to figure it all out!! 3 days a week I have to get the kids out of the house by 720.

Working moms of 3 or more

I try to shower at night and straighten my hair in the morning as well as pack lunches. Try is the key word. Many times I am way to exhausted and i wind up showering in the morning, throwing some mousse a clip and hair spray in my hair, do my makeup and I'm good to go. We get up in the morning, I change all the kids while DH feeds the dogs and gets the coffee and waffles going for the kids. My baby is a year and pretty independent now so he gets a cup of Cheerios and a sippy of milk while sitting in his chair. Then the twins sit in the living room with their sippy's and waffles. Then I'll hop in the shower or start doing my hair and make up while DH starts whatever he has to do before showering. While he's getting dressed I'm cleaning messes in the living room and getting everyone's lunches or whatever packed and ready to go. When DH is done, we're all of the door. Luckily DH works across the street from me so many times when he is not in the field, we carpool and we all drive in together. There is not a free second in the mornings, it's pretty rough :/. I've been saying ill do this and that at night to cut time, but I am always tired from work, dinner, getting kids ready for bed. By the time the kids are in bed, I'm so done.

I have 2 and there is no way I'd be able to wash my hair in the AM.

Yeah DH's days of sleeping until the last second are over
I am going to try and shower and blow dry my hair at night but I am with you and that is the LAST thing I want to do at night.
I was hoping that baby would be holding his bottle by the time I went back like the twins were but no such luck.
Oh and it sounds like we have the same type of hair

If course we have the same type of hair, we have almost the same life Once the baby started holding his own bottle, it was much easier. It makes a big difference in the morning, but then you find something else to occupy that time slot and its a mad dash to get out the door on time once again. If you figure out any tricks to getting out of the house on time, please share
