My wife wakes up at 7:30, and I try to sleep another 30 minutes while she is getting the kids ready. I try to get up at 8:00, but often hit the snooze a time or two. I've stayed up too late the night before. Finally, I get up. I need to hurry so I can leave by 8:30.

I start the shower on hot to let it warm up while I brush, and use the toilet. After a nice shower, I find my clothes and other things needed for the day. Running clothes if I'm running at lunch or after work.

I leave at 8:30 with my 7yo in the old truck. We have a nice little chat on the way to school. Usually about the game he's currently into on the iPad like Terraria, Minecraft, Yet it Moves, etc. I ask him if he's excited about school, and tell him to have a great day, and listen to his teachers.

We get to the school at 8:40, and I walk him to his class. Usually greeting the teacher with a "Buenos Dias!" (It's all Spanish)

I then stop at this awesome local coffee shop named Black Coffee Roasting Company. They roast their own beans, do pour-overs and make great americanos. I always have the single origin 12oz double americano. I've cut back since the 16oz, 4 shot americanos I used to drink made me feel jittery. They carry pastries from a great local French bakery named Le Petit Outre. I usually get a plain croissant. I pay with Square Order if it's working, and they all know me by name.

I'll sit down and look at the mountains while I read Hacker News on my iPhone and sip on my coffee.

I drive through downtown Missoula, and across the bridge, park at the office, walk in, check email, HipChat, and prep for standup at 9:40.

I feel blessed.
