Holt, MI

To the parents, grandparents, expecting parents or whoever's listening.

Ever have one of those mornings? Of course you have. Well today was that day at my house. I realize I don't usually write posts like this ut hey this is what's on my mind today.

It all started last night and all was going so well. I was a little late getting home from work and picking up Samara from school. Dinner was done and waiting for us and Krista (my wife) was leaving for the gym. While at the gym Samara and I ate dinner, cleaned the kitchen, colored a few pitures(yes I did too, who doesn't love coloring), Samara had a shower, put clean sheets on her bed and everything was good. We all went to bed as the happy little family.

Roll ahead 10 hours: I'm awoken with "Rob you have to get up!" so everything that went well last nigt went horribly wrong this morning:

• While cleaning the kitchen I placed the coffee pot in the dishwasher not knowing that it had already been filled and scheduled to turn on automatically this morning. Not sure if this has ever happened to you but if not I don't suggest it.
• Samara had an accident last night and the fresh clean sheets and clean child were all wet.
• The dog had to be fed and let out(OK so this is everyday).

This may not sound like much but in our house that's enough to send everyone into a tizzy. You see we don't plan for things like this. In our house we leap out of bed, into the shower, coffee, clothes, a little light primping and its out the door. Mom and Dad are both now grumpy no coffee and running late.

After I dropped Samara off at school (only 3 minutes late) I got back in the car and had a moment of reflection and began to laugh. I realised I really have it good and I thought of this pic I took walking across a parking lot last year. This is why I do it! This is why I get up every day, go to work and can't wait to get home, change the sheets again, do the dishes again and go to bed with my perfect yet sometimes crazy little family.

Enjoy your family, they can leave us all too soon.
