If you have children, you know the drill – you know what time everyone needs to be up, how long it takes to get dressed, everyone fed, and then out the door to any of the places you need to go…daycare, preschool, school, work, meetings, errands, etc. Many parents have a great morning plan and the idea that we are actually in control of that plan, and we fight so hard to try to maintain control of that plan. Then it happens….lunchboxes didn’t make it back to the kitchen from the day before, shoes are missing, cereal is dumped on the floor, or the baby fills up her diaper with a “too close (to the top) for comfort” stinky mess when you should be out the door. The rush sets in, the frustrations can set in, and peace goes out the open door before you do (now five minutes behind).

Can you relate?
