A Break in the Silence

It has been some time since I have posted, with that it has been some time since I have sat with myself in my thoughts and feelings and reflected on all the wonder around me. Life's pace only seems to quicken, opportunities to relish and savor seem to be fleeting.

Speaking of savoring, last night my son's school had a Holiday party. We loaded the whole crew up and headed that way. The trip was as all trips of ours are, a symphony of sounds that echo the rumble of a family on the move. But for a moment there was glimpse of silence, which was soon filled with the sound of someone doing their business, if you know what I mean....

My daughter has been having some bouts of constipation lately, and my wife and I thought it was her relieving herself. But the way our dogs were acting in the back was strange, we wondered if something more concerning had happened.

We arrived at the school to find the party just wrapping up, a quick peak in the back made it look as though nothing had happened with our dogs, we figured it must have been our daughter. We headed in to give the gifts we had and to change our daughter.

Once we got in I checked our daughter, and she was dry.. Very curious.

After everything got wrapped up we headed back to the car and on our way, only to be greeted by...... well something that I think nobody ever hopes to find in their car. One of our dogs must have had to go to the bathroom awfully bad as they violently violated the back area of our vehicle. As you could imagine the smell was generous enough to fill the whole vehicle, making for a really interesting ride home.

Let me tell you it made for a really fun cleanup...
