I have lived the too much soap, and am glad to see I am not the only one who has a regular tornado. When people say 8 how do you do it, I reply I have 8 great kids, and I am blessed that they are good kids who people are glad to be around. But they are children, and that makes them far from perfect, but the older ones help me with the younger and they respect each other, which makes our daily lives happy. When asked if we plan on having more, I say we are not planning on it, but will accept it if it were meant to be, at 40 I am more tired with every child, and have shared a few more braincells with them, making me feel scaterbrained, ut if God wants me to have more I guess it was meant to be!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026245796926061340.post-89682647710417892402011-11-05T18:57:48.351-05:002011-11-05T18:57:48.351-05:00Thank you for your wonderful posts.

I find it hard to bend over and pick up the house while the kids tear the other half of the room apart!! Mentally I feel overwhelmed and I have trouble conveying it to my husband properly without sounding like I'm whining or just explaining away the laziness. This is a good all around mental pick-me-up.

I always thought once Mike and I had our first child we would just jump in and knock out our family (have our children be close in age)...but I'm terrified. Pregnancy, labor, newborns not to mention the almost complete forfeit and sharing of a mothers body and mind that takes place were more intense than I ever imagined... I find myself terrified when I think of having more. This was VERY refreshing!

I share so many of your sentiments, emotions, experiences etc. etc. The other day my mother-in-law saw how tired I was, she said boys just take so much energy and that girls are easier at times. One of my boys asked me if I wish we had girls in our family instead of boys. My heart sank. I thought to myself, "No, I just wish I were more patient, or could see and appreciate fully our family the way God does and trust Him completely."
