Pickup lines

"Hey baby! Wanna ride?"

"Hi there big boy! Want some company?"

The first was shouted at me a few weeks ago as I waited for the bus home. I was charmed, as it was Chris shouting it at me. He had a doctor's appointment downtown, realized that I was probably going to be waiting for the bus at the same time as he was going to drive home, took a chance and found me before the bus did.

The next was said by me to him, the next week, when I found him waiting in the car near my bus stop.

It's become a new tradition. He's always downtown Wednesday afternoons, so he picks me up. I was unexpectedly upset at missing it last week when I had to take Justin to the doctor.

Wednesday is quite the challenge - in a good, but rather exhausting way.

• 7:00 => wake up, get kids & self ready for school
  
  
• 7:35 => hurry off to bus
  
  
• 8:35-approx 1PM => Musical Courts
  
  
• afternoon => clients, research, occasional afternoon court appearances
  
  
• 5:10 => car date
  
  
• 5:40 => get home, whirlwind of getting kids ready to go
  
  
• 6:15 => biggest weekly grocery shopping trip
  
  
• 7:00 => taekwon-do
  
  
• 8:30 => home, make dinner
  
  
• 8:45-whenever => dinner, put kids to bed

Observations:

1. I like riding the bus, I really do, but it's nice to get a drive one night of the week.
   
   
2. TKD only once a week is brutal. Despite walking to and from the bus stop every day, I can feel my previous fitness leaving me :(
   
   
3. After Wednesday, the rest of the week is like falling off a log
   
   
4. 11:00PM sleep time sounds pretty good right now.
