Stopping Time

Do any of you remember the show back in the late 80's early 90's where the 3 year old girl discovers her father is an alien and she has super powers, she can stop time with her fingers and do or fix things. I just imagine sometimes what I could do if I have this power. Sometimes in the hectic days that I have I want to be able to just stop, rewind, or take a breath.
The little irritants and things that happen throughout any given day that sometimes just seem to push you over the edge of your sanity. You wake up a little late and think that you have extra time to do a few things before it is time to get ready for the day. Then your kid wakes up (on the wrong side of the bed) and throws a fit at just about everything you want to do, following you around the house wanting to be held. You decide to put him in his chair in front of the t.v. with breakfast so you can scramble around, hair half fixed and one eye of makeup done, trying to finish getting ready to get out the door, he throws a fit and doesn't want to eat anything, he just wants to be held and you have to think to yourself, "why today". You finally retreat to your bathroom just in time to hear your kid scream, you go rushing out and the dog threw up on the edge of the carpet, (couldn't have went slightly to the left and hit the wood floor I suppose) so then you have to stop everything you are doing, shove him outside and clean it up as your kid still whines from his chair that he wants to be held. You finally finish getting ready, everyone is dressed, you quickly throw the dishes in the sink promising yourself you will do them as soon as you get home, because honestly who is going to see they aren't done anyway, and you gather the 15 bags of stuff you "must" take with you. You walk out to put your kid in the car seat and he looks at you and says "mom, I poo", Seriously? Can your day get any more hectic? You load the car of your "stuff", grab the kid and go back inside, quickly change his diaper wash your hands and try again. You get a mile from home and realize that you left your cell phone on the changing table. You wonder to yourself, or maybe even scream out loud, "CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE", can anything else possibly go wrong?
So you start out for the 3rd time that day already wishing you could stop time to get the things you need done in order to catch up to the time where you are suppose to be at in your day, or you just want to crawl back in bed pull the covers over your head and try again tomorrow.
These are the days that I need to remind myself even more of all the things I have to be thankful for and how much they outweigh even the multitude of frustrations that we can experience; including waking up late, unforeseen circumstances, dog's vomiting, crabby kids, traffic, accidents on the freeway, forgetting stuff at home and so on and really look down and be grateful that our shoes at least match!
