    Backstory:
    I wrote this one as an affirmation to how important "ordinary days" are in our busy get-er-done lives.                                                                              

    Lyrics:
                                                      
    Children gigglin' half awake, spillin' milk and frosted flakes - on the floor Every day's the same routine, washin' faces brushin' teeth - then out the door The noise of young'uns runnin' round How I've come to love that sound It's just an ordinary day Another link in my life's chain Each mornin' turns a page For twenty-four more of the same I'm thankful for each ordinary day Saturdays they play non-stop, with the neighbor kids on our block - till after dark Sundays we go for a drive, half the time we're tryin' to pry - kids apart The noise of young'uns fussin' loud The day'll come I miss that sound It's just an ordinary day I'm overworked and underpaid But if you'd ask me what I'd change I'd say how fast they get away I'm thankful for each ordinary day Birthdays, PTA, ballgames are wearin' us out But someday we'll appreciate 'em - even more than now It's just an ordinary day Another link in my life's chain Each mornin' turns a page For twenty-four more of the same It's just an ordinary day I'm overworked and underpaid But if you'd ask me what I'd change I'd say how fast they get away I'm thankful for each ordinary day So thankful for each ordinary day Children gigglin' half awake, spillin' milk and frosted flakes - thank the Lord
