My mornings start about thirty minutes before my alarm clock
even thinks about going off, with my early bird rising at the crack of dawn to
stand beside my bed yelling “Mama! Mama! Mama!” I’ll roll out of bed, take her
potty, get her cup of milk, and sit down for a minute to wake up… right about
the time the four year old stumbles out of the room demanding either snuggles
or Daniel Tiger.
The alarm clock on my phone starts its incessant chiming until
I can correctly solve the number puzzle to turn it off (usually only takes
about three tries with my sleep-deprived fog brain) and it’s time to start getting
everyone ready so we can get out the door in time for daycare, school, and
work.
Now, picture this – I’m talking about a toddler who insists
on picking out her own clothes and getting herself dressed (no matter how long
that may take, she will scream “Kaya do it!” anytime I get close enough to even
appear to be trying to help); a preschooler who will try telling me that he
doesn’t know how to get himself dressed and wants me to help him – but of
course I’m not doing it the way he wants me to; and then the 8 year old who has
to try on four different outfits asking if it matches the bracelet that she
wants to wear.
As if that’s not bad enough, I still have to find work
clothes and slap on enough makeup to somewhat resemble a human and make sure
Matt’s up and getting ready for work. I
have to be out of the house, with all three kids, by 7:20am so I can drop one
off at school, the other two off at daycare/preschool, and make it to work on
time.
Most mornings, I’m lucky if I’m able to grab a banana on the
way out the door. Usually I’m not able
to eat until lunch, leaving a significant nutrition gap in my diet.
I use Centrum® MultiGummies to fill in the holes that my hectic schedule leaves in my nutrition. Since they’re chewable, I don’t have to worry about having something to drink to wash them down (a good thing, too, since I walked off without my coffee again). I keep a bottle of them in my console in my car so I can grab two and chew them on the go. There’s no artificial flavors or sweeteners, so I know I’m just getting the vitamins I need daily.
