I've been lurking on your blog for awhile and I keep wondering how you hold everything together so beautifully with 3 active boys! LOL!! At least this looks more like MY days! (minus the Dr. Pepper, I'm a coffee girl!) Oh, thank you for this post, I know it's been months after you wrote it but it truly made me smile (oh, and your middle "touchy" child is EXACTLY like my oldest! They will be your best friend and worst nightmare all rolled into one!)<BR/><BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-21579815254473670172008-04-26T07:53:00.000-07:002008-04-26T07:53:00.000-07:00oh how i can relate! posting your "cruddy days" he...oh how i can relate! posting your "cruddy days" helps too! i'm just thankful to know that it happens to the best of us! and that Dr Pepper is your "go to guy" also!! i think he's got a PHD in therapy!spankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359943809431206878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-29327231973795686992008-04-25T18:26:00.000-07:002008-04-25T18:26:00.000-07:00Awww sorry to hear you had a rough day, but thanks...Awww sorry to hear you had a rough day, but thanks for posting that pic of your mess! Oh, and The Secret Garden, which I read for the first time this year, is an absolute favourite!

Even when we are sick and our entire family is misbehavin', God might very well use our gifts in powerful ways. <BR/><BR/>Keep on!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720442497649796070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-42870462742064895532008-04-25T16:19:00.000-07:002008-04-25T16:19:00.000-07:00oh, I, too, can relate!

My Daniel (almost 4) makes a 60 minute drama out of a 5 minute chore (like putting away train pieces or blocks), and my Jonathan (almost 2 - he's actually also 20 months) sounds like both Luke and Leif...at times a sweet, quiet little helper, just waiting for me to read a book, other times destroying a room, climbing up the *outside* of the stair railing, or throwing a fit when it's time for a diaper change. Do you think it's the first-born/second-born connection? Yesterday was my escape day...I went to a scrap book store and just looked at all the pretties ;o) Hang in there! I just keep reminding myself that I'm not the first mother to live through this, so it must be possible!<BR/>~Michelle :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-44577113223659850432008-04-25T13:34:00.000-07:002008-04-25T13:34:00.000-07:001.

Ian has the lobbying protest down when it comes to how "hard" it is to unload the dishwasher, however. And Peter is SO happy to serve and help out at every possible moment. Isn't it so interesting to see how they're wired?carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460660865881905507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-25852424154585202912008-04-25T08:36:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:36:00.000-07:00Heidi - I'm going to link this post.
