observations when mothering a "multitude"...

-we go through a whole pack of pudding cups at snack time
-my "one load a day" method of dealing with laundry is not working
-i was asked the other day if i was babysitting; i replied that "all these blessings are mine"
-delegating chores makes life easier... for me!
-when you vaccum (if you haven't for a month), the canister on the vaccum gets completely full
-17 freezer meals doesn't last nearly long enough
-we should buy stock in an apple juice company
-and the dairy
-and the cheerio company
-while size 3 pampers cruisers work perfectly well for the daytime, the size 4 is better at night
-while we're at it - stock in pampers is good, too
-3 bottles isn't enough if you forget to run the dishwasher all weekend
-neither is 10 dinner plates
-right now nothing scares me more than the idea of taking four kids to a wedding on saturday
-scratch that
-right now nothing scares me more than the idea that i could have missed all this because i was selfish...

Use paper plates. Buy apple juice at Sam's club. Never, never purchase only 1 gallon of milk at a time. Feel a little sad that cheerios kept the price low, but made the box smaller, and when you get through potty training, rejoice! Your family just got a significant raise when you quit purchasing diapers.

When others ask what on earth you were thinking, reply with kindness but praise the Lord for leading you down this path.

At least that's my strategy... Love the post and the joy that I get to share with you as I read it!
