This weekend I was blessed with the opportunity to give a talk at a convention. One thing that stood out to me was that, on Saturday night, I was on stage as the keynote speaker and the next day I was just another student in the audience. It brought to my attention how much things can change in 24-hours.

On Tuesday one of the children was sassing me. I kept my cool, but before I knew it, I was chasing the little wise-ass around the house...and not inside the house, outside the house. Full disclosure, the only reason I didn’t grab the child in the front yard was because we live on a busy street. I really didn’t have time to get arrested—I had a photo shoot at 9:30am. Exactly 24-hours later, I ship you not, the bugger was kissing me and singing, “Oh Happy Days...Oh Happy Days.”

Whether it’s 24-hours, a week, a month, or years, I’m reminded of the classic phrase: This too shall pass. I loved having an opportunity to share my experiences with hundreds of people, but I also loved sitting amongst hundreds of people and listening. Parenting can be a son-of-a-gun one day and such a hoot the next day. And, Tuesday morning wasn’t all bad, now I know that you can register your child for military school at age seven—I’m golden.
