How on earth did I make it in time, what a morning!

I've experiences that too, but unfortunetly not as lucky as you. Before I sleep, I always set the alarm clock .But during that time, while I was sleeping ,in the middle of the night, the alarm clock battery went off. So in other word , there's no kokododle doo in the morning. I over slept (8am). From preparation to travel going to work, it's so impossible to make it on time, so instead, i just called our supervisor that I can't go work that day because I'm sick. From that day on 'till now, I always do back ups. Two alarm and sets of batteries..lol.

That's amazing! You must be super organized and have everything within easy reach. It's times like these that test our fortitude as moms!

wowww..., i read your other post about your argument with your 16 years old son... what an ordeal... i never actually slept in before until that late... hopefully i never will as i hate to be late and to be in a rush... anyway, i hope you will have a better day for the rest of your day... take care and have a nice day...

bus arrives at 8:35 am.. when me and the sprite oversleep until 8:20 its a mad dash for breakfast, lunch made, snack packed, clothes thrown on, teeth cleaned, and hair done. i will jump out of bed same as you.. with brain not quite in gear while im yelling "get up get up we're late!!" which doesnt usually work.. lol but as soon as i hollar "QUICK AS A BUNNY TEAM WORK!!!" her eyes snap open and shes running as fast as i am in sync with everything like we are a fine oiled machine! shes tossing jeans on while im shoving a granola bar into her face...as she runs by with a tooth brush in her mouth shes tossing oatmeal cookies at me to stuff into her backpack.. shes tying shoes while im brushing her tangled mess head of hair out and twisting it into a braid.. we hit the door with her flinging my jacket at me, and me flinging hers at her, and weve managed to not only be ready in time.. but have 2 minutes to spare to play tic tac toe in the dirt with a pair of sticks before the bus comes rolling down the street! LOL not my favorite way to spend the morning, but its good test to work together and have it all come out right

Yes I have and what an awful thing it is !!!it happened to me when I was working more than oncew and its so darn frustrating...the alarm goes off and you look at it,then you turn aroiund for just five more minutes an that turns into half an hour and then thats you all behind like a cows tail!!..but the funny thing is that no matterhow late i was getting up...I always managed to get ready in time and i always managed to put my makeup on..now thats daft..but i could never go to work without my make up ..no way!!!!!

This has only happened to me a couple of times but it isn't a nice way to start the day. You did well getting the kids to school so fast!

thank you for best response hon, I appreciate it.

oh yes hon, I did that many times, surprising myself that I could move so fast. I hope you got things worked out with your son, teenagers can be so trying at times.

Hello gemini, I have not experienced that since our alarm clock is a radio,a noisy program every morning,LOL! by the time it will start to talk laugh and haul, We can't stop but wake up..LOL!But, that's good for you, you were able to manage it on time..I can imagine how fast you move in doing things to prepare...Cheers!

Isn't that an awful feeeling when that happens? Been there and done that sweety and all I can say is a huge well done on getting there almost on time - that is an amazing achievement! I am sorry to hear that you and your son have had another row and I will be looking for the post when you are ready to do it! Chin up sweety - you are doing a great job! xxx

Hello dear gemini_rose. You are great to have made it in time sending your kids to school in spite of your oversleeping. I am very happy for you to have got up with still enough time left to make it. Well, I also had the same case happen to me when I overslept, but I could not make it and was late for what I was not supposed to.

oh yes when I was still working at the library I overslept one morning and gulped down some breafast and ran to the bus stop,caught the bus and got there just two minute before I was due. winded and already tired but I was not late.

Fantastic! That's quite a feat! Ha!Ha!Ha! Oh yes, it did happend to me for a couple of times already. It's a good thing I'm one fellow who can do things as quick as I want and could really go through and forego whatever is not needed just to make it for my job or whatever appointment I should not miss. But you know, this is very, very stressing and really I swear I hope would never want to happen again but sometimes there are things that keep me late at night so I really can't avoid.

What a drama. Glad you made it.

Many times and most of the time it's because we have either had a late night or my alarm didn't go off LOL We almost slept in this morning because of the storm last night (we were a bit restless). We had to run for the bus this morning even though it's just around the corner LOL and just got there in time.

No. I usually end up being at least a few minutes late. Especially now that I have my daughter to get ready too. My son gets on the bus right in front of the house, so that is not something I have to deal with. He still does sometimes miss the bus, but I have 45 minute to get him to school after he misses the bus and it only takes about 12 minutes to get to the school by car.
