AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

you know sometimes life just is a pain in the rear end, because things never seem to turn out the way we want them to.

you overcook your roast and now it is too dry; you get ready to put your kids to bed and you realize you have to put clean sheets on them first; your son's baseball team loses it's 8th game in a row and several kids cry (i thought there was no crying in baseball!); you get home and the dishes still need to be cleaned up and the house is a mess...and all of this happens in the span of a few hours. however if we are not careful we might miss a really cool moment.

below is a great song by steven curtis chapman about not missing those moments. check it out~ lyrics included.
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sittin' here wearin' the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms.
'Cause I know something the prince never knew.
Oh I will dance with Cinderella I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight.
And she'll be gone.

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed.
She wants to know if I'd approve of a dress.
She says "Dad, the prom is just one week away,
And I need to practice my dancin'""Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms.

'Cause I know something the prince never knew.
Oh I will dance with Cinderella I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight.
And she'll be gone.

Well, she came home today
With a ring on her hand Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned.
She says "Dad, the wedding's due six months away
And I need to practice my dancin'""Oh please, daddy please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms.
'Cause I know something the prince never knew.
Oh I will dance with Cinderella I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight.
And she'll be gone.

I feel like I need to remember these thought many times during the day, and i don't even have kids yet!
