Mother kneeling to assist daughter with backpack as son waits with his backpack in a hallway

I have slowly started to really see the benefits of having my driver’s license and a car.

Last week I delivered my son in kindergarten and then drove to my best friend. It takes around 45mins to drive there. And I spent all day with her. We haven’t spent a whole day together since the beginning of my relationship with my so, and we are celebrating 10 years together in November.
It’s been way to long since I laughed so much as I did that day. And damn! have I missed those conversations you only have with your best friend and when you are alone together.

My so is at work monday-friday and while he is at work our son is in kindergarten and during those hours I have lots of time for myself. So this week I have taken myself on a date.

During the weekend I looked up what movies was out in the cinema at the moment and I found one I wanted to see, and it started while he was at work and our son was in kindergarten so I figured I could go alone.

It should also be noted to that I did some shopping after the movie was over. I did need new fall curtains since we changed from wall- mounted curtainrails to ceiling- mounted curtainrails and that means the curtains we already had is to short.

I am slowly getting used to our new everydaylife.
I am getting up an hour earlier then I did just because I love that quiet time I get to myself before I wake up our son and really start our morning.

Before we took summervacation it was my so who delivered our son to kindergarten when he drove to work. I would get up after they left and start my day alone at home before taking the bus to th gym and then go to the library to either read and/or write before I went grocerieshopping while I waited for my so to finish work so we could go and pick up our son from kindergarten and then go home and make dinner.

Now after our vacation is our, our routine is a bit different.
My so gets up even earlier then he did before summer so he can go the gym before he starts work

I get up an hour earlier so I can drink my cafè au lait alone while I am getting myself ready. Then I wake up our son and get him ready. And while I make us breakfast he plays with some of his toys. After breakfast I deliver him in kindergarten and then go to the gym. After my workout I usually go home and do some chores while I wait for them to come home. Some days I will meet my SO at his work and have lunsj with him and his coworkers, or I would go grocerieshopping. He is the one who picks our son up from kindergarten and I have started to have dinner ready for when they come home.
