I have been there and done that. The Eldest is an early riser and has been for LIFE. We resorted to putting a digital clock in his room with all of the numbers with the exception of the first one taped over. The warning of "you may NOT come out of your room until THAT number is a "7" was drilled into his head" with varying degrees of success. Let me tell you, I live for his teen years when all he wants to do is sleep and I can gleefully toss his little butt out of bed.
Husband, traveling, clean house...EXACTLY! It's always a readjustment when Mr. S comes home and having to deal with the children crawling all over him and the resultant noise that comes with the sheer quantity of them. Having some semblance of order in the house always makes that transition smoother

LOL! We have the digital clock in the bedroom as well, but I never thought to tape over the other numbers to avoid confusion. Good idea. The problem there is that Diva and Babygirl share a bedroom. Bunkbeds right above my head, specifically. So even if Diva stays in her room, she inevitably wakes up Babygirl and then there is much thumping and bumping, enough to bring out the Mommy Dearest in me. In the new house, there will be no child sleeping above me. Period. Still, I too look forward to teen years and happily driving them nuts pulling them out of bed at what they consider ungodly hours. *cackles at the thought
