His three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife&#8217;s car was open, as was the front door to the house.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.<\/p>\n<p>In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, nosh was all over the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife.<\/p>\n<p>He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He found her lounging in the bedroom, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, &#8220;What happened here today?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She again smiled and answered, &#8220;You know everyday when you come home from work and ask me what in the world did I do today?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes,&#8221; was his incredulous reply.<br \/>\nShe answered, &#8220;Well, today I didn&#8217;t do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff\"><strong>READ MORE and enjoy these features from the Daily Prayable! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2192 <a title=\"Daily Story\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/prayables\/2012\/01\/loving-ms-not-good-enough.html\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Story<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2192 <a title=\"Daily Scripture\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/prayables\/2012\/01\/psalm-10720.html\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Scripture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2192 <a title=\"Daily Prayer\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/prayables\/2012\/01\/segues.html\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Prayer<br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2192 <a title=\"Daily Music\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/prayables\/2012\/01\/i-wanna-grow-old-with-you-adam-sandler.html\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Music<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2192 <a title=\"Daily Joke\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/prayables\/2012\/01\/mayhem-in-the-house.html\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Joke<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2192 <a title=\"Daily Quote\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/prayables\/2012\/01\/deep-sorrow.html\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Quote<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Joke One afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his house.
