An example of chaos...

I wish I could keep up with certain things (like a blog), but when you are a parent, time is usually not devoted to you.

I would like to just give a brief example of my chaos that happened this morning. It demonstrates that the simplest task takes 3x longer.

Today's example: making a cup of coffee.

Empty out the old coffee grinds. 2 year old needs more chocolate milk in her cup. NOW.
Put new coffee grinds in machine. 2 year old happens to find the mouse trap (no mouse in it).
Start the machine for coffee. 4 year old needs chocolate milk.
Heat up milk for my coffee in microwave. 2 year old throws football in 4 year old's face.
Combine my coffee and hot milk with vanilla syrup. 1 year old found goldfish in the diaper bag and is now all over the living room floor.

For a process which should only take about 2 minutes turns into a much more complicated ordeal. Maybe I should switch to the Starbucks double shot in the can.

My brief example of chaos. What's yours?
