2 minute drive, start time of 8:30- I get up at 6:45 for now. Getting 2 kids back into their morning routine is rough add in time just in case the 3 month old is a monster! (he's never a monster, he's amazing and sleeps like a champ-knock on wood!)
6:45- I wake up
7:30-wake kids up
8:15-everyone out the door to the bus stop(which is great-grandma's house)
8:20- I'm at work
Most days, my oldest rides to school with me, the little one probably will too, but right now the bus is like, super cool!

I wake up between 6 and 7, depending on how motivated I am to work out that day. I leave the house by 8 at the latest to get to work by 9.
When I worked 7a-7p almost an hour from my house with a 10 minute walk from my parking garage, I was up at 5:15 and out of the house by 5:50. Don't miss that!!

15 minutes away from work, but since I'm trying to change my bad habits from last year, I'm getting up at a 6, get myself slightly ready, get my kids up, and while they are getting ready, finish myself up and get our things ready. We leave the house either around 7:35 or 7:40 and I get to work around 7:00. Of course, they don't start school until the 28th (Today was the first day for me) so that schedule will have to change around, but eh it's a work in progress.

Same. 3am is first alarm, and I take a caffeine pill and let it get to working and I'm on the treadmill by 4 (but I have a second alarm at 4 in case I miss the first one, which happens sometimes), out the door by 5:45. Clock in for shift change at 6:45. Had the same schedule through nursing school because I always had an 8am and an hour commute, had to leave by 6:30, so I've tried to keep it up. Some days (especially in Winter) it isn't easy.

6:30, I have to be at school by 7:45. My kids are all at another middle school, so they do their own thing and get themselves out the door.

Alarm is set for 6:15, I usually manage to haul my butt out of bed by 6:35. I live 7 minutes from school and still can't be there on time (8am). Yeah, in case you haven't guessed I'm NOT a morning person. Summer was great, to bed around 2am, sleep till 10!

I am up at 5:15, I get ready, then have to get my high-schooler up around 6:00. If I am driving to morning cross-country practice, we leave the house around 6:20. Otherwise, I leave at 6:30 to be at work by 7:00. Luckily, my husband has a flexible work schedule, so he gets up with the 4th grader and gets her off to school. Elementary starts at 8:05 here, and we are too close for bus service, so she rides her bike to and from school.

I get up at 0500. Leave by around 0530 to go on my morning Starbucks run. My shift starts at 0600.
