But we went out a lot - I found being out and with others helped us all, made me focus on kids and not on the house.<BR/><BR/>I must admit to always being a pretty high energy person and always filling my days ioth lots of things, making things like meals very simple! lol! But I wouldn't have gone out for breakfast on a week day, if I had littlies - would have done that when dh was home, in the evening or weekend. And my work hours were less - two mornings and one afternoon a week teaching when number 7 was a baby. And I exercised less - half an hour was my max, every day or only 3-4 days a week...So, I did cut down on things to fit the ages of my family...<BR/><BR/>You are doing great, I love hearing about you learning days with beate and about your teens...Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596513344737230084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-17929280332164117152008-04-10T03:57:00.000+10:002008-04-10T03:57:00.000+10:00Hey Leonie - I'm a few days late commenting here b...Hey Leonie - I'm a few days late commenting here but wanted to share one of my initial reactions when I first read it. As I was reading about your beautiful and productive day, I was nodding my head and then I read, "Then we had lunch." Whoa! It sounded like a whole day already :-) How much different is this from when you had more younger children at home along with older ones who weren't yet totally independent? I find myself thinking I am a totally unproductive person because we seem to get very little accomplished. *sigh*Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318894754874154375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-54195495757653216972008-04-06T14:29:00.000+10:002008-04-06T14:29:00.000+10:00Congrats on the home puchase!Congrats on the home puchase!Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596513344737230084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-16820939845487068252008-04-06T10:25:00.000+10:002008-04-06T10:25:00.000+10:00Sounds like a great day - and I love take-out Chin...Sounds like a great day - and I love take-out Chinese!<BR/><BR/>We went on Wednesday for Chinese to celebrate our recent home purchase!<BR/><BR/>Hmmmmmmmmmmm....shouldn't we be saving $ ;-)!Ladybug Mommy Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872071153849471720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-31495022910914334822008-04-05T23:50:00.000+11:002008-04-05T23:50:00.000+11:00Cool - another set of Firefly fans!!Cool - another set of Firefly fans!!Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596513344737230084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-68329147521203737702008-04-05T09:18:00.000+11:002008-04-05T09:18:00.000+11:00It looks like a terrific day.
