Especially the "How in the HECK did the house get like this when I've been working so hard all day?" LOL!!<br />I would say your day was wildly successful. You cared for those kids of yours, took care of yourself, and even made dinner. Hoorah!!<br />Going to go poke around here some more! Nice to meet you!!Dawn (Large Family Mom)http://www.onefaithfulmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-73458094288303725182012-01-13T19:45:00.749-08:002012-01-13T19:45:00.749-08:00Hey Heidi! It was a treat, reading about your day....Hey Heidi! It was a treat, reading about your day. I wasn't sure what to say at first that hadn't already been said ... but as I thought about it, this occurred to me: <br /><br />I hope you don't feel like your day was a failure. Maybe you had to deal with quite a few setbacks and interruptions and maybe even a couple disappointments ... but the big picture is that your children are enjoying childhood where they can take time to perform a play together for an appreciative mother (and include their adorable baby sister!). Your young men are learning to tend to their little sister, to be entertaining and patient and responsible. They get to snuggle with you on the couch. They're making forts instead of slaving over homework or watching TV at night. Etcetera. You are giving them a loving home, the best education you possibly can, lessons in bearing interruptions, and the gift of lifelong relationships with one another. Brava!<br /><br />(As an aside, I'm quite impressed that your ten year old starts math at 7:00 a.m. ... before breakfast! Pat yourself on the back. ;-))<br /><br />Since Simple Homeschool has been running their series, I've been wanting to document one of our days; it's been a while since I'd done so. I think you've nudged me over the edge. :-)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034180396689442335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-52361543626933369122012-01-12T22:41:56.086-08:002012-01-12T22:41:56.086-08:00So lovely that you made the time to post about you...So lovely that you made the time to post about your day, Heidi - for all of us and for you to look back on.

I promise: it does get easier (the "physical-ness" of it, the being-needed-for-everything-ness, the total chaos of it all, and the unpredictability of it all - those all get easier). Of course, then the teenage junk might kick in, but let's not go there ;-).Skellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021374799688814697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-7610258520935434982012-01-12T17:04:27.681-08:002012-01-12T17:04:27.681-08:00thank.you. :)thank.you. :)jeanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810018388555836612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-55972718895345533942012-01-12T13:24:30.875-08:002012-01-12T13:24:30.875-08:00hi heidi....now that's a busy, fun-filled day!...hi heidi....now that's a busy, fun-filled day! it's one of those days that makes you roll your eyes today, but one that makes a memory in your heart and will miss years down the road. thanks so much for sharing - can't wait to read more of them!!<br />connieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-81973203319490084782012-01-12T11:14:54.616-08:002012-01-12T11:14:54.616-08:00Whew!

It's so hard to get anything done with a 15 month old isn't it?! My little guy is the same age and if he's awake, he's in to everything or upset no one is paying attention to him. Wishing I had a 2nd playpen for him in our schoolroom!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660852009014295034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-50235229215295238742012-01-12T03:45:35.241-08:002012-01-12T03:45:35.241-08:00:) what a day!
