yikes! you certainly have your hands ...hi bree!<br /><br />yikes! you certainly have your hands full.<br />you asked me how to balance it all. well,<br />you can't. sorry.<br /><br />you have to choose the best part, focus on<br />that and try not to worry about what's not<br />as important.<br /><br />ask the Lord to help you prioritize and let<br />go of the things you can't keep up with. my<br />children weren't always dressed so great but<br />their tummies and their hearts were full.<br /><br />my husband didn't always have a beautiful<br />wife, but i tried to save a good part of me<br />for him.<br /><br />i took naps when the baby napped and made<br />the older ones have a quiet rest time. the<br />most quite one, won something (special <br />time with dad, got to choose dinner, ten<br />extra minutes later to bedtime . . . it didn't<br />reallly matter.)<br /><br />help your friends, and let your friends help<br />you. one day cook enough for another<br />family, the next day let them cook for you.<br />try to think outside the box.<br /><br />let the older boys take turns cooking dinner,<br />helping with the laundry, keeping things in<br />order. make it a competition and use<br />positive reinforcement as much as possible.<br /><br />that's just off the top of my head, but you<br />already know that the Lord gave those boys<br />to you and has given you the anointing to<br />mother them. the enemy says, "you can't<br />do it, " but he's a liar.<br /><br />is there an older woman in your church that<br />you could adopt? have her for dinner, and<br />she will probably help you more than you<br />would imagine.<br /><br />be encouraged and of good cheer.
