Sorry about that, I probably missed out on loads because of it. Anyway! Great post, I don't have kids myself but I always hear my friends who do complaining of exactly this. I was the same as you when I was younger, always up at six or seven for the morning cartoons.

I would get up and hit the gym for a 5:45 am class. <br /><br />Now, I am totally exhausted from the not sleeping through the night for almost 4 years thing and mornings such. Tell that to my kids you arise between 4:30 and 6:00 each and every day.<br /><br />What can I say, I unashamedly lie on the couch while they are entertained by the TV until it is time for me to get ready for the day. <br /><br />I can't wait until they are teens and I wake them up for the day between 4:30 and 6:00 am . . . the joy it will bring me is what gets me through some of these mornings.<br />JennFox in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163309708157436213noreply@blogger.com
