I know I am not the only who has to fight with their kids to get ready each morning.  And, knowing that, still does not make me feel better.  I hate to start my day or baby girl’s day by fussing, but what is the alternative.  We start our morning earlier, I get her stuff ready before I wake her up.  I take care of all the “prep work”, and still its hard to get her out of the house without a struggle.

If you asked me why, I would tell you it’s because we both have our own agenda’s.  She needs to write the date on her Dry Erase Board and the day.  She needs to make sure that her socks look just so, with her jeans, and sneakers.  Yes, shes 8 and already way too fashion conscious, I suppose a monster which Mommy created.  So, the question, is how to get our agenda’s to mesh.

Which leads me to Problem Solving 101, do I wake her up earlier and cut into my Mommy Alone/Exercise Time?  Do I wake up even earlier to maintain my sanity?  Do I put her to bed in her clothes for the next day?  I am kidding of course, right??

Anyway, stay tuned… since the kid’s are on Vacation Next week.. to see how I handle… this.. and find a way to bring some peace to our morning routine
