I'm glad I read this before I attempted it, because I would have ended up the same way. Except with maybe a crying 2 year old in there somewhere to mix things up! I sounds good on paper, at least. :) Thanks for sharing! I had never thought of eating breakfast in the car to save time!

I recall similar days where I would get to work and find a bottle, or a nuk, or a Hot Wheel in my coat pocket. My son is eight years old and a while back I wrote a post on my blog called: <strong><a href="http://burburandfriendsblog.com/2007/08/14/is-this-schedule-chaos-or-comedy/" rel="nofollow">Soccer night - Is this schedule chaos or comedy?</a></strong> I think that when you see it, you may concur that we both have similar conclusions. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed reading your post. That is a great story, perhaps one you can tell at a wedding someday.

I don't actually work in an "office," I just liked the title. :-) I do work outside the home this year, however. I'm teaching, and I was on my way to school in this story.

I enjoyed reading about it-even though I'm sure it was an aggravation to you. What I liked best was realizing along with you it was living life.

It is these life moments that can make us cry at first and then laugh. I too had a day like this once, or twice, ok many of them. But one day, on my way to a photo shoot for my three younger kids, my oldest boy, who at the time was 4 decided to cut sweet E's hair. At the time her hair was not very long but growing out nicely(she was 2) but the many cuts were made so short to her head that it was very noticable. He also took the scissors to his own hair. I cried and cried, then wondered how a pair of scissors could make their way into the car and into a four year olds hands. Frantically I called my friend to vent so that I wouln't do anything harmful and she so wisely and calmly told me to capture the moment with the camera. She told me that one day I would laugh about it. Ah...those memories which do make our lives oh so interesting and so much sweeter-some how! I had no idea your morning went like that, so thanks for sharing. By the way- I would love to feed your little L and Jo Jo breakfast. I have lots of oatmeal! They usually like to sit and eat with my J anyway. I hope tomorrow morning goes a bit more smoothly.:) Thanks for sharing. It is these life moments that can make us cry at first and then laugh.
