...are you up in the morning?
Usually 6:30ish. Later in the winter, earlier in the summer. The sun wakes me up. Then there are just random days where I wake up much later (like today - almost 8... that's really sleeping in for me).
...does your dh leave for work?
Usually by 7. Some days he has to leave earlier (like today - about 5).
....are the kids up?
I get the big ones up at 7. Well, I do if they are doing school (Cameron's continued school through the summer - he's actually up before 7 most mornings on his own; Ani's not doing school this summer so she's been sleeping in until 9 or so). Adrian and Fritz both get up on their own around 7:30 or 8 usually.
...do the kids begin their school work?
8 for the big ones. The little ones do school starting a little later when it fits well with me having time to devote to them.

I am up most days around 6, only to get my K'er out the door.
Hubby is night shift and lives by his work the days he is scheduled, his days off he comes home.
We start school by 8:30 unless we have errands to do.
...do the kids begin their school work? Because Little A is so small (17 mos.), we don't do a whole lot of SCHOOL work but I have time set aside in the afternoons, around 2, where we do her educationally geared activities.
...are you up in the morning? I get up around 6:30 or 7:00 to work out before Ady wakes up.
...does your dh leave for work? Usually around 7, but he travels about half the time so lots of mornings he is not even here.
....are the kids up? Ady would sleep until 9 or 9:30 every day if I let her. I wake her around 7:30 or 7:45 when I am done exercising. She watches a cartoon to wake up while I get ready for the day.
...do the kids begin their school work? We start around 8:45
...are you up in the morning? - My kids wake me up between 6:30 - 7:30
...does your dh leave for work? - usually around 8:30. Sometimes not until 9.
....are the kids up? - before me.
...do the kids begin their school work? - most days we wait until my mother's helper gets here around 9. On days when she doesn't come it's just whenever Mercy brings her lessons to me and beggs me to get started.
