As I sit here

As I sit here I look up and see the trophies that have been persented to my child I wonder if I'm doing a good job.

It definitely is not an easy job, it did not come with a manual and there are lots of options.   

We don't live in a mansion like I invisioned as a child.  We don't drive a formula one sports car as I wish.  We don't have plasma flat screens in every room.  We mow the lawn and clean the house.  We bathe the dog and clean his nasty (yuck) ears.  We even scoop his poop!!

We go to work and school.  We laugh.  We cry.  We yell.  We pout.  We snuggle.  We struggle.  

We are not perfect but we enjoy what we have and dream about all the extras.
