If I only had a brain

A huge portion of my life is taken up with trying to get people to do things they are not so inclined to do. Getting up in the morning, doing homework, letting the dogs out. We all do this in our daily stuff. I am someone who really hates to tell people what to do, and am even hesitant to give advice unless asked. So probably I should have thought this parenting thing out a little more thoroughly before jumping off of that precipice. But like so much of youth, I didn't consult anyone or anything about making these choices. So here I am getting up at 6am to make everyone miserable except for Griffin who always is happy to see the morning.
