The older generation thought nothing of getting up at five every morning - and the younger generation doesn't think much of it either.

Yup, getting up at 5 in the morning everyday isn't really a lifestyle choice for me, it's a necessity. It gives me an extra hour to
- wash all the dishes (am usually too exhausted to do them the night before)
- hang two loads of laundry (for some reason 2 loads a day and we still have mountains of the stuff over the weekend)
- pack all the kids bags (clothes and diapers mostly, they don't have schoolbooks yet except Yousof's Iqra')
- clean the house as best I can
- get myself 3/4 ready (shower, change, solat etc)
Then.. it's time to do the impossible. Wake, bathe dress and feed 3 kids before 7.15 am.
Firstly my eldest, Yousof.
Firstly my eldest, Yousof.
~ZzZzZz~ Weakness: TICKLING. He will wake up if tickled on the belly and armpits. A very good idea because he always wakes up laughing.
Very sensitive- beware Important points: He is very fussy and needs everything to be in order. All uniform must be on the hanger, including his underwear ..hehe. Breakfast today was a toasted peanut-butter sandwich cut u into 4 equal size squares.
All ready for kindergarten Secondly, my princess Aishah.
Sleeping beauty? Hehe
Still on snooze mode
Happier! (Diaper only for the ride, currently potty-training)
Secret: Actually wearing Abg Yousof's hand-me-downsWARNING! Do not tickle. This will result in disaster and a very crabby little princess. Weakness: Talk about something interesting she will do that day. Example, "Aishah, bangun. Aishah ada splash day yer hari ni?" Doingg! She will spring right up.
Lastly my little trooper Hamzah.
Actually was sleeping on his side- he turned when I called him
He loves taking showers!Must remember: Close all doors and push in all chairs, he will climb into anything and everything in a flash.
Self-amusement When EVERYBODY is ready and fed, it's my turn. Good thing I have perfected the art of getting ready in 5 minutes flat. My secret? No make-up and no fuss.
Presentable? (Yousof took the picture)Lastly,
Never work before breakfast; if you have to work before breakfast, eat your breakfast first.
