Today is the first day back to school for my kids after the Christmas vacation and I had to make sure to set my alarm early enough to allow for my bathroom trips...It's very frustrating!!!!  I wish I could get up and not run immediately to the bathroom and continue to run there numerous times. I drive my kids to school & there's been so many mornings when I don't think I will make it back home :(  I feel like I have morning sickness & a never ending stomach bug every day of my life!  Once I get through the morning, the rest of the day usually isn't as bad.  Just a few trips or so depending on what I eat & how my body decides to react.  Sorry for the rant, I know I'm fortunate to be in better health than alot of people with an IBD - I try to remind myself of that when I get aggravated.

Hope everyone's new year is off to a great start!

One day I'm going to murder the bugler . One day their going to find him dead . And then I'll get that other pup, the one that wakes the bugler up, and spend the rest of my life in bed.

My family can't understand why I need to be up 2 hours before we leave. I have tried to explain that my system takes this time to wake up and then I go the bathroom about 3 or 4 times in order that I don't have any problems for the rest of the day. If I don't clear my system and calm everything down then I am caught short during the day. This can be a big problem because I teach kindergarten and cannot leave them alone for even a second.

I would kill to get an extra hour of sleep every morning. I never make it up and that adds to the tiredness that CD already whomps me with.

I think that your rant is pretty minor all things considered, lil-momma!!

I sympthazise for being a teacher, I know my body and I couldn't do that because of br issues, so be proud of yourself that you can. the mornings are like that for me every day, if I don't get rid of that bile junk in the morning, I can cramp anytime durning the day and when it comes I have seconds to go.

I hate mornings too! Some are bad, some or worse, and some are horrible! ;-) Mornings are never, ever fun. it's been so long now (4 1/2 years) since I had a "good" morning, I've forgotten what it's like! ;-)

A Crohnie teacher is my hero. Amazing! I'd be so stressed and worried... And, on top of worrying about Crohn's moments, there's standing for hours on end. That's got to be hard with all the fatigue.

Lil-momma - Before I moved to my current house I had to drive my daughter both ways every day of elementary school. (the new house has a bus stop across the street, I can see from my home office, which was a good part of why I bought this house!) When I was driving every morning, I could never predict if I'd be ok. it was only 7 minutes each direction, but there were several times I "didn't make it" without a problem. Crazy days. Or, trying to fix breakfast for the kids and then in the middle of toast or an egg (or whatever) a required bathroom trip ruins the food in progress. Agh! Hang in there! ;-)

I hear ya. I HATE...no LOATHE the mornings. I too have to wake up sometimes 3 hours before I need to do something in order for me to go anywhere. I too drive my child to school in and the morning and sometimes while making breakfast, getting him dressed, or even getting myself dressed I have to run to the bathroom. and sometimes that is still not enough depending on the day. I totally understand your frustration and I would love to be like the "normal" people and get up and do what I have to do. Ahhh so frustrating.

My pain and D are always the worst in the  early morning.  Not the best way to start the day.

Makes for a "crappy" start for sure!!! I have even tried not eating anything after a certain time....didn't do any good! Where in the world does it all come from???? I dread when I have somewhere I have to be before noon! If I have to somewhere at any time, I make sure to eat very little! Basically only enough not to feel like I'm starving!
The bus doesn't even come on our road- we didn't know this when we bought our house. Oh my the breakfasts that have been ruined for a bathroom run, I know all to well!

Morning are hard for me too. Sometimes I even get woken up by cramping. When I wake up and lay in bed I feel depressed that a new day is here for me... to run to the bathroom:( I understand where you are coming from!
