A perfectly gorgeous day finds me driving down to New York to my sisters place. I will be camped out at her house for a week. It is going to be a working week, since there are way too many things to get done for work. I have couple of deadlines to meet and couple of things to wrap up before we move onwards to other bigger items. But then that is work.

I have always wondered how do families manage two working careers and kids, and their schedules, drop offs and pick ups, homework and playtime and everything in between. I am about to embark on a week long introduction to drop offs and pick ups. I think it will be loads of fun, from new driving routes, one or more kids in the back seat, getting to school, getting to daycare, remembering access codes to drop offs, the procedure for pick ups. Wow! Already I have had the first day of pick up round with my sister navigating and me driving to do the pickups of one child from school and the other from day care. Earlier in the morning, I did a drop off for my brother-in-law at the train stop, which is near his college. In between all this drop off and pick up, we have all the ducks in the row for one deadline tomorrow. Awesome! This is wicked cool. But, of course, this is the first day. Talk me at the end of the week and I may be singing a completely different tune. But for now, life is good.....
