I had one HELL of a day yesterday too (apologies if you prefer no swear words on here) and my one dear friend from faraway called my yesterday and was bawling her eyes out about how overwhelmed she was. Something about the lunar cycle, the time of year, the weather...I just don't know. But, you are definitely not the only housewife who feels like life is spinning out of control.

Take care of the primary nativity program? No problem. Look amazing while doing it (your new 'do is fabulous)? Check. Watch Liz's kids whenever she asks me? Sure! That's you. I get all feeling sorry for myself because Matt is gone 1-3 nights per week. I ain't got nothin' on what you deal with, and with 2 more kids than me! You are strong. You are amazing. You will overcome.

We have a "problem jar" and a "service jar"...if they have a problem, they write or color about it and we look at them once a week to problem solve together. The kids actually love it!

I got to the point where I put my boys in a room and made them work it out on their own and they couldn't come out until they were friends again. They spent a lot of time in their room. And the sentences is great. My mom did that with us, and I did it with my boys, but not enough because they still have terrible penmanship LOL!<br /><br />A cleaning person might be the way to go...talk to some of the ladies in the ward that have one...they might have some suggestions.<br /><br />I will keep you in my prayers too. I wish that I could help you out but life is still kinda crazy right now too. Even with one kid at home I still don't seem to have the time to do what I want and need.<br /><br />Sending hugs and prayers your way!<br /><br />xoxoJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644820597982881818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-9908519099977136882010-12-07T09:07:19.779-07:002010-12-07T09:07:19.779-07:00I"m so glad I took you up on your offer for a...I"m so glad I took you up on your offer for a Christmas card, it came a few days ago and it is Gorgeous!

And among all that, you watched my little guy last week. You should have said NO. I've been sick and it has been a blessing in disguise because I've had to say no a few times. Being sick is a good reason. Why can't being a "really busy house-wife, amazing mother, constant maid and healthy chef" also be a good reason to say no? Need help finding a sitter still?epugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222788889266521070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-71530138560891848642010-12-06T22:50:05.878-07:002010-12-06T22:50:05.878-07:00Hang in there!

He thinks they sound and look "super cool." Why indeed! We need to get together! We'll be out there in January ... we should make plans!<br /><br />As far as your post - you've got 5 kids - 5 little needy kids (me too!) and for now we are stuck in survival mode. But, somewhere down the line it will all have been worth it. Right?!<br /><br />Just keep on keeping on, and pray ... lots!<br />Love, RachelRachel and Nathan Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602418963526133376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-8589754019973017722010-12-06T20:46:13.049-07:002010-12-06T20:46:13.049-07:00I have one suggestion.

Liam recently had to write 25 times "I will not scream or bother my brother." If anything, it kept him busy and I was able to calm down enough to talk about it.<br /><br />Good luck. I am pretty sure we are close to being secretly taped for Hoarders this week. I haven't seen any bugs or critters, but I think they just haven't found us yet.<br /><br />Oh, and I was being all smart and ordered clothes for my kids with free shipping. However, I did not budget it well and now I am not sure what I will do. I hate finances. I would clean my house all day if someone would just balance my checkbook, pay my bills and tell me every morning what I have to spend.Never A True Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331740639630387522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-14050874560112404002010-12-06T16:32:05.689-07:002010-12-06T16:32:05.689-07:00Ahhhhh, and I sigh a breath of relief!

The outside world is so perfect and I am far from it. It is nice to know other people fall apart like I do. I hope your energy can be refueled quickly and this hard time will pass swiftly. When your husband is home more you will want him out of the way so you can do it yourself! Ironic isn't it?

Because I hate buying postage (it's so stinking expensive) to mail things, I didn't want you to have to buy more postage on my behalf. As for all the other stuff, I feel your pain. Hang in there!
