My Life

One of those days....

You know, one of those days when these are your colors, grey and blue? One of those yucky days when you wish everyone would just go away and leave you in peace, if only for a little while? Actually I'm having my peace now, the twins just got on the bus, but I know my mood and my three hours and 20  minutes won't be enough peace. I need a day, or two, or three?

And to make it worse, I just watched the Today Show where this family has 17, seventeen, that's right, children. And I can't even handle two! As I was trying to watch the segment, where all the children were well behaved, I was yelling at the twins because they were being their normally wild and crazy selves, and then I felt horrible because here these people do it with 17! So what do they know that I don't?

And it wasn't just because they were on tv. Oh no! They all play piano and violin, except the tinies of course, and grandma says she can take them all to the grocery store without any problems. Sorry, it kind of makes me sick. I try to plan my grocery trips during school hours.

Some people just have it, I lost it if I ever did have it.

That family

I have seen that family on tv interviews also. They ARE quite remarkable...and more than a little unique I think. The older kids care for the younger ones, everyone pitches in with chores, and they are home schooled. I say...more power to them. And better them than me. I can hardly handle the 4 we have.

Chin up. You are a wonderful mother! ! !

Saw THAT family TOO

I believe that they have my applause but I cannot believe that each child gets individual time with either MOM or DAD.. and lets face it, the older kids become a type of parents as well.
Yes they were well behaved, except for the little boys with the microphone LOL
I also did not see if they have any friends to mix up their social activities...do they have sleepovers?
Not sooo sure their lifestyle fits many people but they seem to be meshing well.
Must be a feat to travel on any trips as well.
