IF we homeschooled in the same room, we'd have eachother to hug when we're feeling down. I should get my knees to the adoration chapel. I am so thrilled God spoke to you in such a strong way. I think He spoke to all of us through you as well.<br /><br />God Bless and see you soon???Melissa @ Homegrown Catholicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516985976368072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-40501028263391123482010-09-20T08:02:25.977-05:002010-09-20T08:02:25.977-05:00when i have those days....which are many!!!...i ma...when i have those days....which are many!!!...i make lots of quick treats, brownies, cakes, muffins etc...<br />feels like i actually accomplish something!!!

I love those blogs that can keep it real and lay out their days exactly how they are. We all appreciate that! <br /><br />May your days continue to be blessed, despite that they may not be 'perfect' and everything may not have gotten done. May you be given the grace to get through them gracefully, with every intact and knowing they are loved.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-66946343893293347982010-09-17T11:35:55.331-05:002010-09-17T11:35:55.331-05:00We made brownies, too.

It is one thing to complain and commiserate, quite another to pack up the kids and head for the adoration chapel to beg for God's graces to to what He called you to do. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

I've got the same little grinky face clinging to my legs on an hourly basis. <br /><br />(Well, different face & different gender...but everything else is the SAME.)<br /><br />What we be doing if they were away at school? We'd be on our bottoms in front of the computer, or cleaning cleaning cleaning. I'll take a discussion of the three theological virtues over those two things any time!<br /><br />Though, granted, I need to spend <i>some</i> time on my bottom in front of the computer to recharge my battery...and I need to spend <i>some</i> time cleaning lest the health inspector pay a visit. <br /><br />You know what I mean, though. These baby days will pass and thank GOODNESS for the gift of older siblings who are learning so much by helping out.<br /><br />Truly. My Stephen's outside with the baby as we speak. :)<br /><br />Hang in there. Those crafts that you're not getting to are not the most important thing and neither is the laundry. Are you wearing clean underwear? That's all that matters.<br /><br />Love you!Margaret in Minnesotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603439076606550856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-37013449588164098432010-09-16T03:30:04.975-05:002010-09-16T03:30:04.975-05:00Amen to your entire post!Amen to your entire post!Mrs. O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13416360875061958860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-23249858750431513712010-09-15T20:41:59.281-05:002010-09-15T20:41:59.281-05:00Although my kids are in our Catholic school, I am ...Although my kids are in our Catholic school, I am having many days with this because sweet baby girl doesn't like to get put down-SIGH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-5791467162741773272010-09-15T17:40:44.429-05:002010-09-15T17:40:44.429-05:00Let us have it anytime you want to girl as long as...Let us have it anytime you want to girl as long as you come back to reality by the end of the party.

Life with kids is crazy!<br /><br />Thank The Lord for adoration. It saved me many times my first year of teaching. And being a wife and mother.<br /><br />I do not know what to say to make it easier.

Baby J is NOT happy to be ignored while we do school. Although, he will occasionally nap for a short while when school is happening (and of course, the boys then decide they have no desire to do any WORK at that moment in time.)<br /><br />Tina Marie ~ I'm glad my husband usually understands the bare minimum approach to life. Although, with a 6 year gap between kids I think he's forgotten a few things.

I am typing with my baby strapped in the Ergo carrier, while my kids feed themselves warmed up soup (my 10yr old did that). I am afraid to move because the baby might wake up. We started school at 10 today after a night with hardly any sleep. The dog woke me up at 5:45 because she had to out. Oh and my husband is working out of town and won't be back until Friday. The joys of homeschooling where nothing gets done, but the bare minimum and the baby cries while you do that bare minimum. I only have four kids and I struggle. Too bad we didn't live closer, cause I really need a coffee and the kids need some fun. "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it'" as Anne of Green Gables would say. Let's keep pluggin along and doin God's will. I will pray for your lovely family. God Bless.Tina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091162271468740853noreply@blogger.com
