Need a Hand?

Pete, when you wake them up early they go to sleep early. At least that’s the theory. Never worked with my kid!
Alarm set for 6:30. Snooze button until 6:50. Put up coffee, feed the cat so she stops walking under my feet, wake up daughter at 7. She raises her open hand–5 MORE MINUTES! She’s out of bed at 7:05, out of the bathroom at 7:15, during which time I drink my coffee. I am in the bathroom at 7:15, scoop cat box, shower, brush teeth, out at 7:35 during which time she gets dressed, applies complicated owl-like eye makeup and checks facebook for status updates since she went to sleep at 11, I get dressed, both of us out the door at 7:40. Drop her off at Brooklyn Tech at 7:50 (she has gym at 8).
what the hell the kids doing up at 6AM…..you pretending to live on a farm and send them to back yard to milk the imaginary cows?
“Baby starts screaming at 4:45.”
This is why babies are cute. Otherwise, very few of them would make it to age 2! : P
I’d go to Cuba with you immediately if could be done direct from NYC and legally.
But I wouldn’t trust you to book the flight ……anyone that pays $45 for basic verizon landline service would probably pay double going rate.
Rob trying very hard to bait Cobble today. So far not working…will stay tuned.
“Jealous because you have no one to bring you coffee in the morning?”
Just FYI, I don’t ask BH to do this, he does it of his own volition, because he’s the sweetest man on the face of the earth. : P
I think Assange sees himself as the lone agitator Emile Zola describes in “Germinal.”
My morning routine:
Baby starts screaming at 4:45. Mrs hits me in shoulder to get me to deal with it. I get baby back to sleep for 10 minutes. At 4:55 it’s time to wake up for good. Change baby’s diaper, put on coffee. Make oatmeal for me and kids while other two kids wake up. They’re all up by 6. Catch up on news. Catch up on work emails, respond to European clients who are already at work. Make coffee for Mrs at 7 am and wake her up. 7:15, she’s done with shower, I shower. 8 am take kids to school, get on train, at work by 9:15.
Other than days when it’s her turn to wake up with the kids, in which case I’m the one who gets up at 7.
