From Michelle…
I’m departing from our typical Hello Mornings theme and sharing why getting up early might not be right for you.
10 Reasons Not To Get Up Early
1. Your kids enjoy your morning breath.
2. You love that “15-minutes late” feeling.
3. You like visitors while you shower.
4. You think peace and quiet are overrated.
5. Your kids play quietly with educational toys when unsupervised.
6. You prefer a challenge.
7. Bedhead becomes you.
8. Your ideal alarm is, “Mom, I’m hungry!”
9. You possess ample quantities of every spiritual fruit at all times.
10. You can’t bear a single moment without your cherubs by your side.

Oh…that’s hilarious!!!
awesome. so funny.
I love these excuses …my son cooked virtual donuts with me this morning in bed.
Yum….!
so funny!
12. My kids have grown to expect “grumpy mom”. I don’t want to disappoint them.
Your life long goal is making it into the Guinness’ book of world records as the multitask champion of the world.
Ha!
You love it so much when your (wonderfully innocent) husband can’t help but talk to you while you are praying/reading/exercising!
You’re in bed with your kids and getting out will wake them up, so you decide to sleep in as an example.
You hate quiet.
Because you love to be spontaneous, who says young children need routine.
You guys are funny! 🙂
your kids actually like it when you walk them to the bus stop in your pajamas.
you make the most nutritious and delicious school lunches in under 1 min flat.
(we’re in year round schools, so I’m always in school mode even in summer)
Ha, ha!
Because messy kitchens build character!
Oh, I love it!!!
14? The nanny and maid have it all under control, Dahling!
When the dog escapes the yard, the neighbors love to see me chase her in my pj’s!
I’ve got nothing witty to add. But this is hilarious.
I like running to catch up all day long. It’s the only exercise I get.
Because I am teaching my children to become more independent! LOL!
If getting up before everyone is so great I want to be sacrificial and give my kids that wonderful benefit to their day.
I like this post very much.. I also experienced the feeling of morning rush and I didn’t like it. LOL
that is awesome:)
Too funny!
Too funny!
My contributions…
You’d rather exercise when it’s really hot because you like to sweat.
You’d rather have someone to keep you company while you go potty.
You admire your 3 year olds fashion sense, and want their help picking out your clothes for the day.
