We usually get up around 5:00. Both gs and I are morning people, anyway. That gives me a couple of hours to get ready for the kids. I get on here, research projects, line up my day and meals, vacuum and sweep. And have a couple cups of coffee!!!
My first ones come about 7:15. I am there to greet them with a smile. I follow a couple of FlyLady's rules - up and dressed (well, not quite to the shoes - but to the socks - and one load of laundry first thing in the morning. All dishes done, sink cleaned. I feel ready to face the day.
It's so much easier for me than at night. At night by the time the kids leave I'm wiped. All I want to do is sit. So I make supper and we sit down and eat. We're usually in bed gs - between 7:30 and 8 and myself not too long after that!
