Intermittent, sometimes coherent ramblings of a sleep-deprived mom and her family of mostly-homeschooled kids

Happiness is...
...hearing your precious toddler say his prayers for the first time. I figured he was listening but had no idea he had the whole thing memorized! What a sweet memory.
I'm a homeschooling mom with six wonderful kids ages 15 down to 1. Our life is busy, busy, busy with teens, tweens and toddlers but everyone helps out and somehow we manage to keep it all together -- well, to some extent, anyway! Here's a brief glimpse at our life, mostly through mom's eyes.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ~ Teddy Roosevelt
