@heyglowco: There’s this secret pocket of time nobody really talks about—the 5-9 hours before the school drop-off lines, diaper changes, and snack negotiations take over your soul. This is my 5-9 as a stay-at-home mom—messy, imperfect, and somehow life-giving. ⏰ 5:30 AM — The alarm goes off. I’m already negotiating with myself (“you could skip the gym…no one would know”). But I know I would. So I roll out of bed, grab my water bottle, and sneak out like a ninja while the house sleeps. 🏋🏻‍♀️ 6:00 AM — Gym time. Headphones in. Pre-workout cracked open. This isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about sanity. I lift, I sweat, I remind myself I’m still a person outside of motherhood. (Bonus: massage chair session because self care.) 🍳 7:15 AM — Back home and straight into mom mode. Kids are awake, and it’s full-on breakfast chaos. Eggs sizzling. Milk spilling. Someone is crying because their waffle broke in half. I somehow get everyone fed and dressed without a fire breaking out. 🚙 8:15 AM — Drop my oldest off at playgroup. I’m 50% proud, 50% emotionally wrecked seeing him march in with his little backpack. 🎶 8:30 AM — Straight to music class with the younger two. One’s clapping wildly off-beat, the other’s trying to eat the shaker eggs. I’m sweaty, I’m overstimulated, but we’re here and they’re thriving. By 9 AM, I’ve already hit most of my daily step goal, had a full workout, fed three tiny humans, and survived approximately 14 toddler meltdowns. It’s not glamorous. It’s not calm. But it’s mine. ✨ Here’s your permission slip, mama: take your 5-9 before the world needs your 9-5. #MomLifeUnfiltered #BusyMomRoutine #sahmroutine #AskLemon8 #lemon8contest#Lemon8
