HOW AS A MOTHER I FEEL WHILE MAKING SEHRI

Now the Ramadan has started and me being the mother has to prepare the two important meals.It's easier at Iftar time but at Sehri it is difficult. First of all getting up early while watching the rest sleep peacefully ,"Hello! i could use some help here". Anyways, as i move into the kitchen and start making chapatis, but before that keeping food into the microwave for preheating. My head keeps turning right after every five minutes to recheck the time .After the food is ready to serve, that is not it ,i still have to make tea since me and my husband have a habit of having morning tea and then a glass of milk for my children. Now that every thing is prepared , I have to go and wake my family up. In case of my husband, "no problem".All i have to do is call his name once ,but "God !can somebody else wake my children up."i just feel helpless when it come to them . I go upstairs, wake them up once , come down and then have to keep reminding them 3-4 times from the kitchen , my throat just drys off. After everybody sets on the table , we eat , then pray and then get back to our normal day routine.

Ramadan is a month of blessings, so i get reward from "Allah"on preparing Sehri. Apart from this i don't want my family to fast empty stomach, what if they fall sick? These are the two reasons which keeps me motivated to do this exercise every morning.
