I know it's hard to see yourself from the inside looking out, but I can tell you that from the outside looking in, you are doing a fantastic job as a spouse and a parent. Far better than we ever did, and we are so proud of you and so grateful to know you're our daughter. And those children of yours love you so much! It's amazing you can keep them in line at all, since they're so close in age. From the outside looking at you and your family, you seem to be a miracle worker. Give yourself credit for at least some of the good you do, because you do so much good! Love you! ---yer Daddy You beat yourself up waaaaay too much.

Have you ever thought about writing short stories and having them published? Give all the kids a big hug and kiss from G'ma and G'pa. We need to see the 2009 Christmas pictures. We love you very much. Hope the winter will pass quickly and you'll be down here in HOT JULY. Hi Crystal, we enjoy your blogging.

I sure hope so! :) Want to know the secret on how to handle it? Don't try and handle it. You physically CAN'T do everything all the time. There are days that a clean house is more important. There are days when my crafting is more important and there are days when NOTHING is important. (Those are the best days!!) You will drive yourself crazy if you try to be it all and do it all. Some moments are easier than others and some moments you are lucky that everyone (mostly the kids) are still alive! You want to burn your clothes (so you don't have to wash them) and burn down your house and start fresh. But, think about it....if you do that, the problems really don't go away. You are left with a different set of problems and I personally would rather deal with the ones I have know. Think about the pioneers. They had one thing after another. They managed, and so can we!! I don't have a lot of friends up her either, but I hope I am counted among those few friends you have in Alaska!! Keep your chin up. You look better if you smile..... {hugs} Sassy Do you feel better now? I sure hope so! :) Want to know the secret on how to handle it? Don’t try and handle it.

If you EVER need any help - call me. I don't have a bunch of energy right now, but I can help watch the kids for a couple hours so you can go grocery shopping at night! JUST CALL or text me!!! :) OR if you need a girls night out - you know I'm always down!! :) AND when my little girl comes - I'll have three months off and we'll have to hang more! I'll have nothing to do all day (except the baby of course) and you have the experience! :) Chin up - you are a great mom, wife and counsler - life's just a bit crazy right now. Enjoy it - I miss having a calling I enjoyed, that kept me busy and active! :) Hugs & Luvs Tammy Girl! :( This makes me sad! If you EVER need any help – call me.
