I am currently in one of those patches. It is so comforting to know others go through these things too, and inspiring to see how another family takes charge and makes changes.Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721569501075335429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128863080933663603.post-23802166241647031272012-04-17T19:43:28.831-07:002012-04-17T19:43:28.831-07:00Thank you so much for visiting my blog!

And through your blog, I discovered the Mega Family Blogger list - I'm so excited!<br />We have been in a rough patch lately, so thanks for sharing how you get back on track; sometimes I forget to do the most important thing - pray and draw near to God!!<br />And thank you for the tip on Schedule Breeze; I have loosely used MOTH in the past, and look forward to checking out this online resource!

As our family changed, we had a different perspective and different needs.The Mama Behind the Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193898551412151223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128863080933663603.post-18935152055283369092012-04-10T08:46:39.956-07:002012-04-10T08:46:39.956-07:00Ruby- Yes, this life is a roller coaster!

I've found that making a realistic schedule helps so much. On paper it may look good, but does it really work? This time I was more generous with the time slots, not expecting to get quite as much done. I think that will work better with so many little ones there are lots of distractions and training opportunities that we must make time for. I need to remember to revisit it regularly too as kids grow and change they need changes in their schedule too!Large Family Small Worldhttp://www.largefamilysmallworld.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128863080933663603.post-36912638265929476292012-04-10T06:29:52.120-07:002012-04-10T06:29:52.120-07:00Great post...to answer your questions, yes, I'...Great post...to answer your questions, yes, I've had these rough patches, after the last three babies (I have six). In fact, I'm trying to get out of one as we speak, & my baby is almost 1! I usually don't get back to normal until right before I get pregnant again, then the roller coaster starts all over. I have to figure out a way to ride this out a little more consistently. I find it very discouraging! I have MOTH, but I've never stuck to a schedule for long. Maybe I should look through the book again for inspiration.Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999013192529886620noreply@blogger.com
