Daily Mood Quote
Day 30 – June 3, 2011
“Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.”
~Steve Martin
When you have a dog, kids and/or a spouse, then you have in addition to chaos, desperation, confusion and frustration (a healthy mix), all at the beginning of the day. It's Friday, the last day of the week. We usually look forward to this day with anticipation for the weekend, when alarms don't go off, there's no car pooling to school and no protesting, “Mommmmm, I have nothing to wear today!” The eyes begin to roll, because you know this only means, they haven't found anything they like to wear. “Houston, we have a problem” as said by Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell in Apollo 13. And so begins the compromising and “the great apparel search of 2011”. Ughh!
Just to keep thing interesting, Chester, our big, goofy dog, greeted us this morning by inexplicably throwing up (good thing it was the kitchen floor, that's an easy clean). Still, that doesn't go over well at “O-dark thirty AM”. Why all these things and why do they always happen first thing in the morning? Who knows, but one thing is for sure “It's always something” (thanks Roseanne Roseannadanna portrayed by the late Gilda Radnar on Saturday Night Live).
I believe it's all in how you approach the situation, or the day in this case. My husband says, “That which starts out rough, ends up great. Chaos carries in its turbulent winds a gift. But, getting ahold of that sucker is tough sometimes”. Does that mean this is going to be a Fan-damntastic day? I sure hope so ...WOOHOO, I just cannnn't wait. Why do dogs eat grass anyway?
How will you handle the “ always something” in your day today?
