Most days Luke wakes us up at about 6 (sometimes earlier, sometimes later). Yesterday was dark and rainy, and he woke up at 7:10. Eleanor has to leave for school at 8 (if she leaves too late, the car gets trapped behind a school bus and she is much much later.) This is much less time than we usually have.
The morning was terrible: Eleanor was slow as molasses getting dressed (15 minutes to put her underclothes on), Amanda and Luke and Eleanor steadfastly refused to eat breakfast, we couldn't find Eleanor's shoes (stop laughing, Mom!). Michael came down a bit later than usual and we practically dragged Eleanor into the car.
As Michael said, that's what you get when your alarm clock sleeps in.
Of course, today, Luke woke up at 5:25. Michael took him from about 5:45 to 7, since I had been up from about 4:30 with Amanda. The 8 hours of accidental sleep I got the day before seemed awful nice.
