5:30 AM Wake up.
I set an alarm, but who needs an alarm when I have the sweetest little voice wake me up, at the same time, every morning. “Mommy, the sun is up; can you come downstairs with me?” I roll over and kiss my husband, then head downstairs. I start the coffee and put on our daughter’s favorite morning show. While waiting for my coffee, I check my social media streams and emails. After my husband and I have our morning coffee, I kiss our daughter’s forehead and head upstairs for a shower.
6:30 Call the Piilot.
I call Rick to make sure the flight is still a go. In our area, weather says thunderstorms later today, but Maryland looks great. He says we are on track to leave at 9am. “Wheels up at 0900” he says. Geesh, that will take some getting used to hearing. Me, regularly on a private jet?! I hate flying! Better double check I have Dramamine in my pocketbook. I text our sitter that the flight is still a go, and to please be here for 8:30. Tom will have a delayed start today, but its only one day. The kids will most likely ask him to make pancakes. I finished getting ready, grabbed my Design bag, equipped with all basic needs; measuring tape, paint decks, graph paper, notebook and mechanical pencil. I head back downstairs, give the kids and Love a kiss, then head out for the hanger in North Adams, MA. saratogaTODAYnewspaper.com
