hectic, crazy days

So, a few months ago I was listening to this commercial on the radio, and it was a woman who ranted about her crazy day. It went something like this:

"Get up, get the kids out of bed, get them dressed, fed, pack the car with lunch boxes and backpacks. Drive the kids to school in hell traffic, then back to work in hell traffic. Work. Work. Work. Pick the kids up, make them do their homework, try to keep them from fighting. Get dinner ready, get lunches ready for the next day. Feed the dog. Will someone feed the dog?????
Eat dinner, clean up after dinner; oh, gees, laundry. Has anyone fed the dog yet? Get the kids ready for bed. Make them go back to bed a million times. PHEWWWW!!!!"

I was laughing so hard because this is what my days are like to a tee. The funny part is is that it was a commercial for an insurance company.

It reminds me of the movie "Parenthood," which never really hit home until I had kids. Steve Martin was just stressed about life, and his wife in the movie compared life to a roller coaster, and stated that she would actually rather have the roller coaster ride than anything else. I agree.
