No Time for Family life

Yesterday after work I ended up taking a 4 hour trip and got home about 8:30pm. The bad things about this unexpected trip was that we had plans as a family to take our daughter to get her baseball pictures taken and then go get some ice cream with the team. Then after that we were going to go to a friends house for a birthday party.

See when things happen you have to just roll with it. There was not really anything that I could do about it but move on. I was not real excited about missing the evening but you have to do what you have to do. the good part is that my family went on without me and enjoyed the evening.

One thing that I have come to realize the past few months is that getting mad over things like this is not going to change anything and then the people that you love suffer because you are mad. for example, not too long ago I was trying to move a barbeque grill with my explorer. I tied this massive grill to the back of my truck and started rolling along. I did not tie it real well and my truck paid the price for that.

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer and it is fairly nice and I have always tried to keep it in good condition. Well on this day it was out of my hands. I was moving this grill, and I did not have very far to go but at one point the grill started to turn and so I was going to stop and retie it but when I stopped the grill did not and it smashed into the rear of my truck shattering my back glass. At that point there was no need to get mad because it was not going to help anything. I was more humbled than anything because there were peaople around and watching and I am sure that they were in shock just as I was.

So I decided not to get mad becuase it was not going to put the glass back together but rather I just went on with my day. Another story is that 30 minutes later I ended up in the medical clinic getting 5 stitches in my head. Not the best day that I had, but I did not get mad and the people that I love and care for did not have to suffer because if my lack of planning.

So taking this trip was just something that I had to do and I believe that everything will be fine.

Have a great day.
