This blog brought peace to me because I can sit and remember those days now because life is not that crazy for me any longer. Although 4 kids call me Mom, only my 2 biological live with us...and they are the oldest 2 of the bunch. At 14 and 13, my days of running ragged are behind me. Although I home school, it's such a different job now that they are in the older grades. There is so much that they do on their own throughout the day. I'm here more as an overseer now...helping to guide and direct and still teach what's important but not needed to help bathe or brush teeth or clean their room. Reading your blog actually made me tired because it's been years since I've had a day that chaotically busy from morning to night...they are busy, but in different ways now. My prayers of energy and encouragement are with you, Tirzah! Enjoy these days, even the hectically busy parts...all stages of our children's lives are like bits of treasure deposited in our hearts.

None of us are perfect, because of this we tend to look at our short comings and feel guilty. God, on the other hand, has promised new mercies every morning. Therefore we can take our failures to the foot of the cross and move on. The quicker we are able to do that, the sooner we can enjoy the life that God has blessed us with. I love your article. It really shows what a dedicated mother and wife you are. In the midst of your busy schedule, do something random and fun. You will all enjoy the experience. God bless you and your family. I know He already has;-) Tirzah, I remember those days with small children. None of us are perfect, because of this we tend to look at our short comings and feel guilty.

I have often shared the same struggle and revelation:) I love your heart and how you are very purposeful in so much that you do ... the Lord is really talking to me about being purposeful. To sometimes purposefully choose to steal moments away with my children when their hearts are most receptive and other moments to purposefully organize the madness to create peace ... being lead by the Spirit is usually the knowing which moment I'm in. It's an adventure for sure! I love you and your heart! So blessed by your friendship ... what a gift!

No one cares. Why should you?" -Erma Bombeck I thought this quote was hilarious! I am not a great housekeeper, which I had to come to grips with years ago! (For example, it took me 4 hours to clean my shower the first time I did it!!!) But, on the other hand, I love a clean house! So I pay a lady $65 every 2 weeks to come out and clean my house from top to bottom! Well worth every cent!! The stress and mental beating that I save myself so frees me up to enjoy my children and my husband when he comes home! Even when we were on a very tight budget, I sold some Mary Kay just to pay for my housekeeper!! I LOVE my housekeeper and I am so thankful God has blessed me with her! I hope others will be encouraged to find a good housekeeper to free up some time and stress! “My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch on fire or block the refrigerator door, let it be.
