To get back into bed after school run

Dd starts reception in September, I’ve had long covid for two years, much better since January, but still takes me a long time to get going in the morning.
We’ve always had slow mornings, I literally stumble downstairs, make a tea and her breakfast, if she lets me (started to want to go on her own) then sit for around an hour to come round.
The thought of having to be up, showered, dressed, ready, breakfast etc by 8.30 is filling me with anxiety.
Was going from being at home to the school run a huge change? Could I try to get through it and come back and lie down? I work some evenings and am fine by around 10/11 am
Aibu to feel sad to miss our slow mornings cuddled up in get together too?

Can you do a drop off share?
I never factored this on until Dd started school and realised there was 3 other families on our road doing the same. We all ended up doing 1/2 drops a week and some pick ups too.

I did this a fair few times when my older DC were small and I was pregnant with DC4. I was knackered and nauseous, their school was 1.6 miles away and I walked there and back so I felt the nap was well earned.

Do whatever works best for you, you don’t need permission.
