Worn Out!!!

This would be Bryan. School here starts at 7:30 for the elementary. Which means that we start our day at about 6:15 each morning. It is a crazy time to start our days, but in order to get the six kids dressed, beds made, lunches finished, breakfast, teeth brushed and make it out the door no later than 7:07, we have to get up and get going. And yes, my kids are on a pretty tight schedule. In order to survive these mornings ,we have to be in bed asleep no later than 7:15. But by about Wednesday, the kids are tired and worn out, and how is the best way to show Mom how tired we are....... Yep, you guessed it..... plain old grouchiness. So on this particular day I decided time out was not going to work for me and I sent him into the guest bedroom to "melt down" out of sight. This is what I found five minutes later. Poor kid, just exhausted.
And yet for the record, I have to wake them up Monday through Friday but on Saturday morning they are wide awake. Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?
However, since pictures speak a thousand words, I just thought I would share a couple of dinner time pictures with you!!! Clearly we have our second wind! Mom is counting to ten (at least ten times) and looking forward to the kids finishing their chores, bath time, story time, and finally bedtime!!!
I don't know about anyone else, but I am looking forward to the weekend!!! I need to sleep in, even if it is only for ten extra minutes. Have a great night my friends!!!
