Boy it has been hectic this weekend. I do respite for foster kids and this weekend i had three. Add to that my own two and the husband came home for the weekend. I do have a four bedroom house but with so many even that gets crowded. Is ok tho because next weekend ill have um.......3 plus 3 plus 2 thats 8 kids. Thats 3 foster kids (boys) 2 nephews 1 neice and 2 sons.  My poor niece and I will be the only girls in the house. We may just have to start counting the dog. The husband says maybe he will stay in IA that weekend LOL. Dont blame him. I might just join him. Leave all the kids here with about 15  loafs of bread 5 or 6 gallons of milk, a gallon each of pb and j, 6 or 8 bags of cereal and lots of paper plates and bowls. My poor house LOL. Anyway im in a really good mood today. Most of the alters are thrilled with all the kids because in the confusion they can be free to switch as the neices and nephews are used to it. I have had a heavy hand in raising them most of their life. Our la familia is like that tho. Everyone is responsible for everyone else. You need a favor you start with a sister and brother before calling AAA or a babysitter. That and its free :) Mother called us earlier to ask what we were doing....Breathing. Nothing else but sitting here breathing. All the kids finnally went home mine are napping and all is quiet..........was....... i hear the baby now...so goes it
