I do everything I can to make mornings go as easy as possible. I lay clothes out the night before, baths are done the night before if they are needed, and everyone goes to bed 30 minutes before I’d like for them to be asleep.

And some mornings this works. I wake up and get myself ready and then get the girls up and dress TT while GG dresses herself and then faces are washed, and teeth are brushed, and hair is brushed, and barrettes or ponytails are put in, and all is good with the world.

Other mornings don’t go quite so good. Coming off of a long weekend I supposed this morning was destined to be a morning of chaos. TwinkleToes woke up while I was getting ready, and then GlitterGirl had a really hard time waking up at all. And I’d forgotten that today is an extracurricular activity day and had to pack GG’s other backpack at the last minute before we left (it felt like Monday, but, it’s Tuesday).

And now I’m at work and remembering something I forgot to get for myself, so I’ll have to swing by the house on my way to go pick GG up this afternoon which means I will have to leave work early.

Is it supposed to be this complicated? Most days I feel like I’ve transitioned well to being a mom of two kids. Other days I don’t feel that way at all.
