Why?

Why do we keep doing the same things over and over?

Why did I spend the last 48 hours with about 5 good hours of sleep driving kids here, there, back again, to the doctors, to the orthodontist appointments, to the mall, to get food, here, there and back again…when tomorrow they won’t even remember how many miles I drove to make sure they had the right dress for the dance and their teeth were and lungs were safe?

Why?  At what point do they come up to you 24 hours (or even 4 hours) and say, “Hey, remember how you did that for me? What can I do for you?”

I’m guessing, oh…never.
