the morning hustle

when it comes to getting shoes on little boys practice does not make perfect. despite how many pairs you've logged. doesn't matter. it requires an inane combination of timing, approach and plain old luck. everyday is different. some days they get their own shoes and gently lean on me for support as i slide them on and others they are kicking and screaming for me to "stop mama!" 

this unpredictable scenario has not wavered much in the past three years i've spent trying perfecting it, which sucks because it can take up a considerable part of my morning. mornings at my house are a hustle. the morning hustle to get everyone where they need to be on time. the crazy first shift of the day where every minute counts and multi tasking is on overdrive. the struggle is indeed real. and then well, there's THE REST OF THE DAY. yea, i had to break it down for you guys just to remind myself why exactly it is i'm so tired all of the time.
