Another one I wrote years ago. We've all bee there I think

 Life Is Full Of Surprises

 
Have you ever fallen asleep only
to wake and find,
your whole world upside down
and felt you'd lost your mind?
Kids are running everywhere
your house is all a mess,
where your other sock went
is anybody's guess.
Someone left the TV on but
you can't find the channel flipper,
so you turn your sofa inside out
and find your long lost slipper.
You call out to your children
one by one you ask,
whoever took the remote control
better give it up and fast!
Then you walk into your kitchen
and open the refrigerator,
something doesn't smell right
but heck you'll find it later.
You pour yourself a glass of milk
wishing you never had,
the moment it reaches your taste buds
you violently start to gag.
No investigation needed
seems you've found the stink,
in an outdated gallon of milk
so you pour it down the sink.
Life is full of surprises
not all of them are good,
things don't always turn out
the way you think they should.
Try to find some humor in
a world that's so mundane,
cause in everybody's life
there's bound to be some rain.

I really like this little slice of life. Everyone can relate. Even me, although I've never had any children to make life even more complicated.

Yep, I've been there. I can still taste the spoiled milk.

This is fun read. Also, I can assure you when your children are small this is the most valuable time of your life and the most meaningful, and most fun, even at this time you might not notice it. They do grow very fast. Enjoy this time of your life. This poem brought back so many memories for me - all good. Love it!!!
