Have you seen the articles floating around about why you should wake up before your kids?
I get it. It makes total sense on paper (or blog, as it were) but it’s just not happening in my house. The children are frequently up before the sun. Which means that to ensure my own awakening before theirs, I would have to arise in the middle of the night. So. Not. Happening.
Regardless of when you wake up, there are some things that go through every mom’s mind when she wakes up… This is a sponsored post from Mom it Forward, compensated by Dunkin’ Donuts® Coffee K-Cup® Pods for your participation in this campaign.
Is it time to get up yet? Surely it’s not…
I think I hear them talking. Maybe if I’m quiet they’ll go back to sleep. For the first time ever.
Nope, they’re definitely talking.
I meant to get up early today too! Now I won’t have time for a shower before preschool drop off.
I’m so tired. I need like three more years of sleep. Just three more years!!!
The kitchen is so far away.
I wonder how fast I can get coffee and breakfast in my body. I can’t even function and think about changing diapers or preparing meals for toddlers who won’t want whatever I give them.
Why does my bed not serve me coffee the moment I wake up every morning.
Oooh or an IV drip of coffee. It could turn on as soon as the kids wake up. That would work wonders!
Okay children, you win, I hear you… let’s start our day.
Oh look, the 1 year old has removed his own PJs and diaper.
There’s not enough coffee in the world…
Awesome. Let’s start this day.
I’m really glad I have a keurig and Dunkin Donuts k-cups®. I literally can’t wait another second to get coffee in me.
Look at this children, I’m already up and at ’em. Take that diaper-less baby! Take that tantruming toddler who only wants the only type of cereal that I left at the store.
Y’all. Mornings are rough. Waking up before the kids? Not happening. Which means hectic and tiring mornings. Which is why I was pretty excited when I found out they are now making Dunkin Donuts coffee for the keurig. Less than five minutes and I’ve got awesome coffee in my hands (especially the chocolate donut flavor, whoever decided we should be allowed to drink our donuts was a genius!). The pod varieties include; Dunkin’ Decaf, French Vanilla, Hazelnut and Dunkin’ Donuts Bakery. #DunkinKcupLove
What is your first thought each morning? What gets YOU out of bed?

I love my coffee! We just got a Keurig like 6 months ago and I don’t know what I did without it! I haven’t tried the Dunkin Donuts K-cups yet, I’ll have to look for them!

I have to admit that during the week I DO get up before the kids (5:30am) – but that is ONLY because I MUST shower before work… otherwise I would get fired. Well – not really, but still… it’s just the nice thing to do. But on the weekends… guess what – my husband gets up and gets me coffee from one big over-priced coffee house… and THAT is why I love him. Well – not the only reason why, but it sure helps!
