And I finally figured out how to get all of us ready and out the door by 9:15 AM. It goes something like this:
4:00 AM - feed Bode, get a shower and get ready as fast as I possibly can (all the while running back and forth from the moses basket to the bathroom in next to nothing to make sure Bode isn't screaming)
5:00 -7:00 AM - pump, eat cereal, pick up living room, check e-mail, and I think I might have blacked out at some point
7:30 - go in Mia's room to find her hiding in the closet. Immediately turn into Mommy Nazi and rush her straight to the bathroom to start the long process of getting her ready.
7:32 - Bode screams, try to put him in his sling, he hates it, screams more. Mia screams at me to make Bode stop screaming. I scream at her to quit screaming.
8:15 - plop Mia down in front of TV, get her a bowl of peanut butter and a spoon (her request this time, I promise), start nursing Bode
9:00 - get car loaded, take adorable pictures (see above)
9:15 - get kids in the car, Mia announces that she has to poop and it can't wait
9:16 - get Mia out of car, think lots of bad thoughts that I must repent for later, make decision to leave Bode in the car, plop Mia on toilet, run back to car to make sure mass murderer hasn't stolen my kid, run back to bathroom, make sure Mia is appropriately cleaned, put her back in the car
9:20 - we are finally on our way
See, it is that easy!

Very entertaining! Thanks for sharing. That will prob be me in a few months when #3 comes a long.
You are dedicated!! I have good intentions on getting up and getting ready after that early morning feeding, just to have some time before Kadence wakes up but somehow I always seem to fall back asleep. Needless to say, I am not adjusting very well to this lack of sleep thing. Kadence is always about half dressed when we have to be anywhere that early in the morning. (And like 9:15 is that early). :-)
Summer thank you so much...I am so glad to read your blog because it makes me realize how much we go through...but you say it so much better than I do. Hang in there!
um, wow. I think I would poke my eye out.
you are like the ultimate soccer mom!
Ok, so getting up early (6:50) and spending 2 hours a day on public transportation, and 3 hours in German class is not so bad.
Wow, Summer....I think when my #2 comes along at the end of March, it's going to be a whole new ballgame. :)
