I'm so not a morning person! Back when all my kids were in elementary, I had to get up at 7 so we'd be ready to leave the house at 8:15. I didn't love it, but it was fine. I miss that schedule now! When my oldest started middle school 2 years ago, I had to wake up at 6:10 so he'd be ready to leave by 6:50. I was only waking up 50 minutes earlier, but it affected me all year--I'm so much more tired getting up then instead of at 7.
This year my older 2 are in 7th (1st year of middle school) and 9th. We don't have the bus schedule yet, but if it's as early as Jason had to leave the last few years I'll be driving them. Jason can wake up at 6:20 and leave the house at 6:50, but Ben would have to be woken by 5:30 and supervised in order to leave the house at 6:50. I just can't do it! Instead I'll be driving them. I think we'll need to wake up at 6 so that we'll be ready to leave at 7:20. Lauren is still in elementary school (4th), so I'll drop her off at 8:15 and then go to work.
