Phew! Ok parents out there this is where I feel I'm sinking often. I'm really overwhelmed with most all that transpires after the school bells rings done for the day and the clan is home. Thing is they are not all home. One has this sport,one has that sport, there is an abundance of home work, dinner to be prepared and its seems we are often running around in the car to so many events. This is so stressful as I go from organizing and having a bit of me time during the day as a stay at home mom, to a zoo.:laugh: Can anyone relate? Any tips and tricks of how to survive this all with out pulling every last strand of hair out of my head?

No I can't. But I admire your hard work and love for your family. I think it is becoming a rare situation these days. Good moms are the hardest working girls on the planet. A job no man could endure. I mean that. Moms have a special bond with their kids that cannot be broken or duplicated. I really do admire your love for your family. Carry on.

Oh a Reply...:laugh: Hey sky, Thanks. You know the thing is, I love it too. But, it can take its toll when there is so much going on. All I want to do is make sure they all are shown much love and attention. This becomes a challenge when you have a house full.:laugh: I suppose I'll figure it all out. Funny when in the baby years I was more go with the flow. Now its more like riding waves in the ocean. If I'm lucky most days I stay on the boogie board :)

I can relate, I think my wife moreso...

 

Last night, school gets out and he goes to tennis lessons till 6 by 6:30 at the soccer field for a game, then home by 7:45 for dinner, by 8:20 he's getting a shower and by 9:00 in bed for some reading and off to sleep all the while finishing a school project up that required printing photos with captions and creating an all about me poster.

 

then I'm in bed by 11:00 and up at 5:30am....

 

Whew....

Thanks Deb. And congrats to you on the 3 that have made it to adulthood as that's not an easy task by any means. You are right. Ride it out. I just need to figure out how to be a little more peaceful during the crazy hours. Normally from 3 pm till 9:30.:laugh: Appreciate your words. Rock on momma.:bunny:
