I HATE my mornings! I am sorry, I have to tell you about my mornings, or I am going to go mad! Every morning I have to rush. I am sick of it! This is how my mornings go: I wake up. 5 to 10 minutes lost because I can't get out of bed because I am too tired. Then get Yma out of her bed. Wash and dress Yma, give her a bottle (that she drinks herself). Then trying to keep her happy, while I am trying to eat. 5 minutes lost. Then washing myself, quickly cause Yma can't be alone, and Nico doesn't have a lot of time to stay with her either, 'cause he has to be at work at 8. As my hair gets really greasy after a day since my pregnancy, I have to wash it every other day. Again, 2 minutes lost. Then running after Yma to get her jacket on (she thinks it's a game :) )and noticing that she did poopoo in her diapers. Change the diaper, another 5 minutes lost. Then not finding my purse, 5 minutes. Then taking Yma on my arm (maybe running after her to catch her, if so 2 minutes lost) and bringing her to the 'onthaalmoeder'. There I can't just drop her, the onthaalmoeder likes to talk a bit. I try to get out of there as fast as possible, but I loose 5 to 10 minutes at least. And then the worst still have to come: ride my bike to work. OK, I am proud when I say I go to work by bike. But damn, do I curse on that bike sometimes, mostly... If it windy, 5 minutes are lost. If I wear the wrong coat, one that is catching too much wind for instance, at least 5 minutes lost. If a car does a strange manoeuvre in front of me, so I can't pass and have to stop, 5 minutes lost... and so on... Every morning, on my bike, I am thinking 'I can't do this anymore'. I hope that there really won't come a time that I can't do it anymore. Need to find a solution to get over this morning stress. Or it will cost me too much... Advise anyone?

Een half uurtje of een kwartiertje vroeger opstaan? Geen leuk advies, maar kan een grooot verschil maken, geloof me! Eventueel eerst zelf eten en je klaar maken vooraleer je je dochter uit bed haalt (tenzij ze zelf al wakker is natuurlijk ...)

My advice is wait till your kid turns about 3 - it all gets easier after that.. Other than that, you'll just have to ride this MOTHER-freaking wave I'm afraid. But everything gets better when the sun starts to shine, which will be soon for like 4 days only in a year, and on those 4 sunny days in Belgium you'll be so happy and proud you ride a bike so don't sweat it! Good luck! Don't you just hate advice? -SRA
By the way - I was going to say the same as I see V said above but I wasn't sure you'd appreciate such advice, knowing how you need your sleep -- wake up a little bit earlier - that's what I used to do when Ayla was under 3. I got up at 6:45 everyday in place of 7 and it made a big difference - I also used to do stretches then and it was MY time - it was all good and in the spring, it's easier because you can wake up with the birds.
great and smart advice... but...
I woke up this morning at 6h20 and it didn't help...
I am trying...
but sometimes the energy is just not there to cope the situation...
I'm sure you both know what I mean.
I am also scared that, when I feel like this (like what I described) it is because I am getting sick again and can't handle daily life... I hope that is not true.
