Life is busy, it has always been busy, but I never knew how
busy it could get. This busyness thing is a real thing, it’s not just something
I say or make up or joke about. It’s not always easy to balance schedules and
work and daycare and meals and kids and anything else that just happens to pop
up, but for the most part, I think Chris and I do a fairly good job of keeping
everything running smoothly like a fine tuned machine.
But sometimes, just sometimes, something slips and we end up
with 3 bags of milk open, more specifically, 3 bags of 3.25% milk that only
Grayson drinks, or a wallet gets left in a pant pocket and washed, or a banana
bread loaf gets left in the oven and is hard as a brick by the time the burnt
banana smell is noticed wafting around the house, or a washing machine is
cleaned and the filter isn’t properly secured and water is running into the
basement.
It’s these things that happen in the busyness of life that make
for funny stories later on. Normally I don’t find these situations amusing
while they are happening, like when I drink Grayson’s milk wondering why it
tastes so thick and wonder how Chris just managed to drink a whole glass and
not mention it. Or when Chris just looks at me and says nothing (he doesn’t
need to because his eyes were saying it all) when I pull my banana bread out of
the oven that was under cooked before I forgot about it. It’s these moments that
we can look back on and laugh about. These moments remind me that life can’t be
taken too seriously and we need to have fun, laugh, and enjoy every moment.
As I once read somewhere: life’s short, smile while you
still have teeth.
