In through the nose and out through the mouth

Today has been extra crazy.

This is my last day with 7 children. It has been chaotic. The kids made *such* a mess. Everyone was fighting, and yelling, and bouncing off the walls.

Now they are all napping. All but Rayce. I love naptime, and I love spending a little time alone with Rayce.

I switched the laundry and started another load, cleaned up after lunch, picked up, swept, washed some dishes, and finally, sat down. I should mop. But I'm not going to. Lol.

Although I'm really anxious about Rayce going to school... I am soooo excited that I will have less kids on a daily basis.

Starting next week, I'll only have Jon and Jeremiah 3 days a week, and I'll have Holden and Dante Tuesday afternoons and the usual Friday-Saturday night. Never seven at once. Two days a week I'll only have the girls during the day. And Sundays I will only have my 3.

I'll be able to get so much more done! I'll be able to get out of the house more!

All that being said, I AM still anxious about Rayce going to school. He's never even been with a babysitter, and he's about to be gone for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. The bus will pick him up about 815 and drop him off around 345-4. That's a long time to be away from Mama!!!

I know he'll be fine, he is sooo excited about school and he really need the challenge and the stimulation. It's just a little hard. For me, mostly :'o)

Breathe deeply and slowly, in through the nose and out through the mouth...
