We have to leave by 7:45am for DS to go to school. We need to be up and at 'em at 6:30. I feed them, brush teeth, make sure they use the bathroom, get them dressed and then have them play quietly while I get ready. It's a struggle but we just need to be aware of the time on the clock and I have to be quick. By the time I get home from taking DS to school, I have about 10 minutes before I leave to take DD to school (just on T/TH) so we have to be ready before taking DS.

It's a lot of rushing. To make things slightly simpler we have simple breakfasts and get clothes set out the night before. We only have school twice a week, I dread the fun in the fall when kinder starts.

I didn't read any pp but I have been solo parenting in the AM since my first child was born. I feel like I have created a pretty good routine! I actually kind of hate it when DH is home in the morning on a rare occasion because he totally throws my schedule off!
My kids are 3 and almost 2.
615-my alarm goes off. If the kids aren't up on their own yet, I make my coffee and a quick breakfast (almost always something I can microwave and/or run around the house with)
630-I get dressed and do my make up. I really try to lay my clothes out the night before but that doesn't always happen.
640-Back to the kitchen where I pack the kids their lunch and get their backpacks ready. I fill up their cups with milk or water and put it in the side pocket on their backpacks. Breakfast for them is always something I can heat up at daycare. If one child or both happen to be up at this time I either fix cereal for the older one or give the younger a yogurt. Definitely something where they don't need supervision eating it.
I try and avoid any/all tv in the mornings.
650-Wake up 1 child and get them dressed, sit on potty, brush teeth, do hair
655-Wake up the other child and get them dressed, same as above as needed. I also have both kids clothing laid out the night before.
700-710 at the LATEST-I strap them in their carseats. This might sounds ridiculous but I keep their shoes in the car and don't put them on until we get to daycare. It saves me a step getting out the door! I toss their backpacks in the trunk and any other things we might need--nap mats, diapers, my lunch, etc. This gives me a minute to collect myself before pulling out of the garage.

You can totally do it, but find the routine that works for you! I do feel pretty good about myself MOST mornings knowing I can get myself ready and presentable and 2 toddlers out the door in an hour or less 5 days a week!
