I found your tips to be some that I regularly rely heavily upon, but must mention perhaps the most important one that for me has truly meant the difference between sanity and complete insanity. My time with God. There are times that I have needed to put babies in pack n plays, turn on a movie for the older boys and head to the laundry room to pray and just spend moments (and I do mean just moments) of quiet resting in the peace of God which truly is beyond my understanding. Those moments help propel me into the evening hours and embrace the calling of God on my life. Blessings to you and thank you for sharing such wonderful wisdom with us~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-3580997118779076422011-07-27T16:41:07.469-04:002011-07-27T16:41:07.469-04:00Great idea, Shonya, for those tweens and teens.

If he is given a job (a REAL job, meaningful and needed) it channels and burns some of that energy and I like him much better an hour later! :)Shonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310547848215492736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-17248935455302621362011-07-27T06:59:26.894-04:002011-07-27T06:59:26.894-04:00Good tips here.

At one point I looked at the chaos and said a word of thanks for a healthy happy child too.Jean Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407030126646055880noreply@blogger.com
