Rhythm

I'm joining in on Lisa-Jo Baker's Five Minute Friday. The rules are pretty simple. One word. Five minutes of writing. No editing.

Rhythm

It's how our days go. The alarm going off. The groggy stubble to get ready before trying to get the boys up and ready. Trying to make coffee while not so happy boys are asking where their book-bags are. Then the rush to get out of the door. Trying to buckle a wiggly boy into his five point harness seat while balancing a coffee cup. Making through the day at school and work. Then picking everyone up and meeting back up at home. Where everything is shrugged off. Even yes, sometimes the boys wiggle down to their undies, just cause they are home after a long day. Making a concoction of some form of dinner that you talk the boys into eating. Listening to the GRAND adventures that were had throughout the day. Cleaning dinner off the ceiling. Getting some of the days things picked up while more fun is being had. The brush your teeth and get ready for bed drill. Tucking in sleepy eyed children that are "not tired". Sometimes there are sporting events now that get thrown into the mix. Sometimes a special treat for the evening. That's our rhythm. It's not picture perfect. There are messes, confusion, loud talking. In the midst of all that though is our rhythm of smiles, laughing and family.
