now and then

Now: wake up at 5:50, get ready for work.
Then: get up at 6:20, get kids ready for school.

Now: pile everyone into the car at 7:20, drop kids at school and K at station in bad weather.*
Then: pile everyone into the car at 7:20, drop kids at school, park at station, ride train with K.

Now: arrive in town at 8:15, grab a cafe au lait, settle in and check emails.
Then: back at home, throw in a load of laundry and hop in the shower.

Now: spend the day getting boss into and out of meetings, arranging other meetings, doing mailings, fielding phone calls, writing emails.
Then: spend the day cleaning, cooking, driving kids, fielding phone calls, writing blog posts.

I took last Thursday and Friday off. Thursday I took the boys into town and we had a really nice time (another post) but on Friday I had an old-school day and did laundry and went to the supermarket and drove Youngest for a haircut and ran errands - and I have to say, I've just realized that for me? right now in my life? I like the Now better than the Then.





*in good weather K takes the scooter to the station.
