“Nobody plans to have this many children. When it happens, you deal.
I used ten percent discipline to ninety percent love. You need rules. Structure. You also need to make time for yourself. Getting a good hair day and feeling fit can help a little with the lack of sleep and the demands on your time.

I take photos. I write. My volunteer job is taking photos of rescued dogs and cats transported by the rescue group whose records I manage. Since working and volunteering don’t leave me a lot of time to write, I’m spending 2017 borrowing from what these dogs and cats are writing. They said it’s okay.
