If you are not a parent you probably do not know the reality of this pic. Exhaustion is something that every parent knows. It sneaks up on you, building under the surface of your internal to-do list...and then like a toddler thats just been playing in feces...it manifest itself, exploding and touching everything...
Maybe a little dramatic...maybe...but i don't think so.
To all my parents out there - my hope with these slightly satirical "profound" values of the day - is to provide some joy, camaraderie, and vision for how to thrive today. We all know the responsibility and weight of our job. I hope these posts support and encourage you endeavors to build world changers...you will find they are not that profound.
The value today is to laugh. Thats it. Your kids are doing ridiculous things right now. Last night we played a game where we turned into Yoshi's that ate hot peppers and spewed fire. There was also a game of hide and seek - but the hiding kids were "invisible" - quite the stimulating game.
Look to laugh today - help your kids laugh too...it can be taught - and you could use the extra dose of dopamine.
Below is documentation of my children "sweeping the leg" - so they "know how to take each other out"
Below is a picture of me trying to register my car at the DMV. A very public place - and I noticed my youngest trying to take his shirt off. Firmly told him to stop, only to find when I was sitting down with the attendant - he was running amuck - with a small crowd of people being enjoyed by this shirtless wonder....
Look to laugh today - it will help you be an awesome parent...
