Too busy, way too busy

I have decided that there just isnt enough time in the day to fully devote myself to an awesome post. So from now on I can only post at night, after I have completed my daily responsibilities. I tried to take a break this afternoon only to sit in the dining room and have dishes staring at me.
Now I do have grown children that could help with some of the household chores. Incase anyone is wondering NO our older children dont still live at home with us, we have moved in with our older children...LOL...unltimate revenge you may think...well we first thought that too...
Have a good evening :)

Preparing for Monday morning

Supper (check), Dishes (check), Showers (check), School lunch?? Laundry?? Well 3 outta 5 aint bad...considering we now only have to do it all for 5 children instead of the usual 8. Its been an adjustment but were slowly downsizing. We used to have to prepare for 8 children plus their friends and a nephew. On any given sunday we could be preparing 12 lunches.
How old are our children you may wonder and how did we manage? Well from oldest to youngest 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 13, & 12. We managed with love, with support, encouragement and a strict "education is the key" policy. If at anytime a piece of our family puzzle was missing or out of place we rallied together to show our support.
We are a blended family, there is no way I could have given birth to so many children. When my husband and I first met all our children were 10 yrs younger than they are now. When I think back I dont know how we managed.
Monday morning comes in the blink of an eye.
Stay tuned for Monday mornings post. I'll let you know if everyone made it to their destinations on time.
Good Night
