FRAZZLED is a word I have come to know quite well from time to time. But some days you take all the kids out and everything goes great, and thoes days make up for the day of frustration.Mariselahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866819900549783748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-24620460959391297962007-06-27T15:02:00.000-07:002007-06-27T15:02:00.000-07:00Mary: Ohhh you know Im a taker!!

Just as you get adjusted to quiet.... it isn't anymore! I love the liveliness of a big family (is 7 big? I don't know!) but, once in a while, it just makes me crazy!

I don't take the baby lately and the older children are always working and not able to go with me. <BR/><BR/>You are a great mom to make them go and smell the fresh air and have a great time out. As I read your posts I realize all over again, how much you love the city and the community of it all. <BR/><BR/>I miss you bad and wish I was there to enjoy some days to the fountain, with Target popcorn with you all.Mrs.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03025955329192471272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-35026235357657985152007-06-27T07:17:00.000-07:002007-06-27T07:17:00.000-07:00Angel: Hehehe...They were very easy for me to labe...Angel: Hehehe...They were very easy for me to label that day..LOL!

There were people sitting at tables surrounding the fountain. PEER pressure...LOL!<BR/><BR/>Kim: Thanks so much for keeping me motivated. The comments help me continue on, and encourage me that I am not alone. You are right this phase DOES go by quickly and I want to keep that in perspective. I want them all as friends in adulthood, how sad would that be, otherwise?<BR/><BR/> I would love to hook up with you when you are in Oregon.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746657238020972421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21787421.post-76293562703699585602007-06-27T06:50:00.000-07:002007-06-27T06:50:00.000-07:00Boy are you preachin' to the choir Sister!

Hope today will be a better day for you. <BR/><BR/>I also wanted to take a minute and thank you for your faithfulness to write on your blog. It is such a fun way to start the day for me. I get up, get a cup of java and in the quietness of the morning while everyone is still asleep read your next post. It makes me think about things going on in my own life and times past and gone. I do have to say it is entertaining to see someone else go through things I have already been through or felt. Just wanted to say thanks and love you! Hopefully on one of our next trips to OR we can hook up. <BR/><BR/>Dont grow weary in well doing. This time in your life will pass so quickly and you will look back and miss the "frazzled" days of childhood. I know you love every minute but from time to time we need a reminder of just how quickly it all goes. They will be adults so much longer than they are children and we want them to like us enough to be our friend!
