Whether you are living on or off the grid, I am sure most of you with active little ones can relate to the story below. I thought it was so cute that I just had to share it with all of you who keep it all together on a daily basis...

| 'Out Of Control' ~ Heath Robbins |
One
afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his house. His three children were outside, still in
their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty boxes and wrappers strewn all
around the front yard. The door of his
wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign
of the dog.
Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the
kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the
fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass
lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He
quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes,
looking for his wife. He was worried she
may be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was
met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom
door. As he peered inside he found wet
towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and
toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he
rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her
pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up
at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, “What happened here today?”
She
again smiled and answered, “You know every day when you come home from work and
you ask me what in the world did I do today?”
“Yes”
was his incredulous reply. She answered,
“Well, today I didn’t do it.”
