No one forced you to have all these kids, you're just lucky is all.<br />If you choose to have these small kids all at once why complain about it? Many other people would be happy to be in your shoes.Evelyn Davynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644747660223494389.post-82666583226961170042012-06-18T18:39:44.103-07:002012-06-18T18:39:44.103-07:00free childcare? fantastic! i have mandated daily &...free childcare? fantastic! i have mandated daily "quiet time". they also seem to understand when i tell them that "mommy needs a time out." one day at a time, right?Genelle "Nellie" Billingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925837092013291310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644747660223494389.post-34934939865498256932012-06-18T18:38:42.514-07:002012-06-18T18:38:42.514-07:00It's always easier to remember my blessings ov...It's always easier to remember my blessings over starbucks...always...Genelle "Nellie" Billingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925837092013291310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644747660223494389.post-1116412803816425332012-06-18T18:38:07.497-07:002012-06-18T18:38:07.497-07:00Thanks!

Get to know some home school kids and use them for just this purpose. Lock yourself in the bathroom!
