Help Moms! I am losing it!

[Peaceful Rainbow]

Picking up on what the last person said about a high school student reminded me that I had a friend with a homeschool family near her and the 10 year old girl would come and play with her daughter once a week for a couple hours so she could have a break. She was in the house if she was needed, but the girl was more than capable of entertaining her daughter and it worked out beautifully.

This thread really makes one want to have kids.

Cheval...at Christmas dinner my two kids were cranky and then they both puked and were much better. I just joked to my cousins in their early 20s that we are the "poster family" for birth control.

I don't really have any words of wisdom, but with 7 children, believe me, I've had my times where I thought I was going to lose my mind. But those times are interspersed with much easier times, so hang in there! Try and enjoy those precious moments of sweetness and cuteness--however few and far between right now.

Oh and I do take pictures of naughtiness! (toddlers in crisco, peanutbutter, blue paint, "foof" stuffing, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, toddlers scowling and having tantrums--you get the idea). It helps me keep my sense of humor. Oh the album I could post (except that during most of their naughtiest times they are butt-naked!)

take care
