Are you getting this?

Sometimes life gets quite interesting...don't you agree?

It doesn't seem like dirty diapers ever show up when you're ready with the wipes and diapers in hand and time set aside to clean up the baby.

The kids don't spill the pitcher of kool-aid if you have the mop out and soapy water in the bucket.

The car doesn't break down when you have a surplus of money that you can't decide how to use.

And the bishop doesn't call you in and give you a calling that fits right into your family's schedule and your interests.

RATHER:
You get nights where one kid throws up, the other wets the bed and another keeps waking up because she can't stop coughing. And just to make it memorable, each of these things happens just as you're falling back to sleep after dealing with a previous issue.

You drop your last jar of spaghetti sauce on the kitchen floor, while the noodles are boiling over, the baby is crawling directly for the mess at your feet and your older child needs to be timed for a math paper. Meanwhile, your oldest child is making another child scream somewhere down the hall and they are on their way to tell you all about it.

You just fall asleep for a short nap and the phone rings. It's for someone you've never heard of. Just as you start to doze again, the baby wakes up.


I'm sure you've had similar experiences. And I'm sure this is where all those comedy writers get their material...from real life. So if all of these crazy experiences in life are actually funny, I want to know...Angels in heaven, are you getting this? I want to watch this movie when it's done. And don't you dare leave anything on the cutting room floor!
