Fifteen Minutes

In just a few short weeks I am changing jobs. Same location, same convenience of car-pooling with Hubby, and pretty much the same hours.

Pretty much.

With our current routine, I start work at 8:15.
In a few short weeks I will need to start at 8:00.

Fifteen minutes.

It doesn't sound like much, but when we're trying to get Hubby, Munchkin and I all ready and out of the house - fifteen minutes is HUGE!!!

It will mean backing up our wake up time a bit. The rest of the routine will be the same - but that earlier time will be critical. I never like getting out of bed in the winter - from cozy flannel and down to chilly hardwood and bathroom tile... ugh!

Plus we are coming up on the snowy season here... scraping cars, shoveling driveways - all that adds time in the morning.

But we've got a good team in the morning - and I know my boys will help make this work!!

Good luck! If it makes you feel any better, I have to be ready to greet 22 little children every morning at 7:25. Since I'm NOT a morning person I get to work between 6:45 and 7 to get myself and stuff together. Granted, I don't have the shoveling to do, but scraping my windshield does set me back several minutes. All while Matthew is just rolling out of bed...

p.s.- My team decided on the countries w/o me so I don't need the Japanese activities after all. Thanks anyway!

It's amazing what 15 minutes is when you look at it from different perspectives. If you have 15 minutes more to stay snuggled in bed on a cool/cold morning, it flys by like 2 or 3 minutes, but when you are waiting for something, it crawls along at a snail's pace (slower that your turtles!). Just as not having that 15 minutes to do your moring routine takes a big bite out of your morning.
