You just might have too many children when you get a babysitter and still take one or two along to town.
You just might have too many children when your idea of a restful morning is Grandma keeping one boy and your husband taking the other on his town trip and you spend the time organizing your recipes while caring for the toddler and the baby.
That’s what’s been happening here lately. I must’ve used up too much energy. Several days now I’ve been trying to take it easy while waiting for my body to get back some zip. The house feels like a disaster . . . Last evening I would clean up one area, having the boys helping me only to find Loraine in the next room, making a big mess. So we start on that one forgetting to make sure that little girl was still out of trouble. Oh, no, I give up!! To Japheth, “I’m going over to your folks to deliver a phone message (since their phone was tied up) and hopefully I will stay away long enough for you to have the children all in bed till I return.”

My children are 5,4,3 and 17 mo. So I know exactly what you're saying!!!! Tonight I am going out for supper with another lady, and my hubby offered to keep all the kiddos!!! Needless to say..I am very excited!!lol!!
Well, I must be in your same shoes of to many children.:-) I understand! You just feel to empty handed to go away leaving someone else with all your responsibilities. At times my husband doesn't even think he can handle them all at one time. I'm not sure how I do but you know a mother just does it. I think it is a vacation to take one baby to town. You sure have a talent for writing!
Sorry Aimee, forgot to sign off. That was me that just wrote. :-)

Hi Aimee, I enjoyed this post. It all sounded very familiar to me.
:-)
Isn't it wonderful we have husbands that will help us out when we need them. Our oldest goes with her daddy to work some afternoons and it really does give me a much needed break, even though I still have 3 others here.
I enjoy reading your site when I have the time to do it. It is very encouraging to me to read about your life with 4 little ones.
