So sorry your weekend was so crazy and hard...Steph,<br />So sorry your weekend was so crazy and hard. Life with 5 kids seems alot harder than life with 4. And life with 5 kids and a husband who is gone alot is incredibly difficult. Too bad I don't like closer so you oculd send some kids over while you grocery shop or run errands or need to take a bath in peace. That's what our moms used to do. Maybe I will get over there soon. Keep your eyes out for good rentals!Emily @ RemarkableHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404237532836739692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-22288646930399687292011-06-21T23:32:29.355-07:002011-06-21T23:32:29.355-07:00Hey Stephanie, I've been thinking about you a ...Hey Stephanie, I've been thinking about you a lot lately and just wanted to come say hi. I'm so glad you made it through the craziness explained here and I'm SO glad you wrote it down. I wish I wrote more of the crazy stuff down so I can remember some day when life is easy what it was really like :) Anyway, you write SO beautifully and I'm so happy I get ot know you in person!

And so true, the power of pray. He gives us peace & gives us exactly what we need at that moment. Just felt this last night with my prayers & while reading the scriptures.

The lesson I learn and forget over and over is if I make things easy for myself - simple meals, few activities, flexible deadlines, etc., my kids are a lot happier. And when I am freaking out my prayer is "Please help me calm down so I don't make things more difficult." And that helps me.

I could so relate to this post. So much so that I was totally caught by the title and couldn't stop reading once I read the first line. Oh man, those kinds of days, like you said, are the ones you can't help but laugh about when you think back on them they are so crazy, though they certainly aren't funny in the moment. You poor thing. I'm glad you survived and I'm grateful the Lord cares enough to help out. No doubt your grandmothers were ministering angels throughout the weekend. Hopefully you will have a fun, relaxing week to make up for it. :)a.k.a.

Some days I can't find the light at the end of the tunnel but when I eventually find the light, I exhale and say I did it!Joyce Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314614256802895297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-39218555104766314822011-06-21T00:56:12.625-07:002011-06-21T00:56:12.625-07:00Thank you for sharing.
