The 6am routine is killing me

Wake up at 5:30, get myself ready, get the kids ready, pack lunches, try to find matching socks that actually match, get everyone to school by 7:45, then sit in traffic for 45 minutes to get to work. I'm exhausted before 9am. Then work all day and pick up kids at 5:30. Do dinner, bath time, bedtime routine, and I'm asleep by 9:30pm. This is my life now. Is it worth it? I honestly don't know anymore.

How many kids are you getting ready? Because yeah, 5:30am seems brutal if there's more than one of them involved.

I feel this in my bones. My advice is prep everything the night before. Pack lunches after dinner, lay out clothes, fill water bottles. It cuts the morning chaos in half.

The matching socks thing made me laugh because it's too real. I've given up on socks matching. We just grab whatever is clean. Life's too short for sock matching at 5:30am.
