Who knew there were 24 hours in a day?

So just about 3 days ago a "day" consisted of about 14 hours. In these "days" I frequently slept, ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at the accepted times, went to work and did activities of that nature. Now...not so much. I have now learned that a day actually has 24 usable hours in it which are conveniently segmented into about eight three hour mini-days. And this means that there is not really a difference between day time and night time anymore. If you have an opportunity to complete a task...do it now! Now I nap, rather than sleep. Sometimes I eat, but not at the customary times. And I've found that I work more, but not at work. It's definitely different than just 3 days ago. Now, instead of being pleasantly surprised by finding extra time in a day to go outside and play with my dog, canoe on my lake, or hang out with my wife; I am surprised by extraordinary poopy diapers or cries for food. And I do stress extraordinary! But, the funny thing is that as I sit here and take the 5 minutes I've stolen from this 3 hour mini-day, I wouldn't go back to just three days ago. Because the best surprises are when I hear that sweet little high-pitched voice let out a cry, and I run over to him to find a little round face and big blue eyes searching the air around him, I get to pick him up and hold him close to me as he falls back to sleep in my arms. Nothing, my friends, gets better than that.
