Grumpiness

When kids wake up at 5:45 am it just tends to ruin my day. (And side note to you all who may think I put my kids bed too early at 6:30...I have tried 8 pm and they are up still at 5:45 and then exhausted by 2 pm.) I get so grumpy. Why the need to get up so early? I would think that they would know realize when waking up so early, mom gets to be super grump. I wake up to the sounds of "I'm hungry" or the toilet flushing, and then like this morning...I'm so groggy and so like this morning, I about fall down the stairs since I'm still half asleep. Luckily I caught myself on the stair and only slid down three steps. I am just not a morning person what so ever. I hate how my kids inherited the "early riser gene."
