Starting a new blog

I have been disappointed I haven't kept up with my "farming" blog. I wanted to use it to show what life on the farm is like. Well, now I decided to start a new one to possibly show what life with 6 people in a house is like. This includes kids ages 6, 4, 2, and 6 months! Never a dull moment.


I used to think I sort of had most things under control, except meal planning which I think I will always struggle with. The last month I feel that everything is out of control. Before, I at least had a somewhat picked up house even if the kids were somewhat out of control. Now it seems it's all disorganized and running a muck all on its own!


I keep saying I need time to get things figured out as far as a schedule and discipline. I read books (when I have time) and find good ideas, but I have trouble implementing those ideas. I don't have the energy to change things even though some things need it. I am in continual survival mode with little hope of actually changing things. It doesn't help that 6 month "A" doesn't nap longer than 20-30 minutes at a time unless being held.


It is hard when other people know and see the struggles we are having with our son, the 4 year old. I feel judged by some that we aren't even trying with him. We are! I need time to devote to finding what is going to work with him. I can't even type this without many interruptions and tears!


I don't know how often I will get to post. Maybe nobody will want to read what life in a Household of 6 is like. Maybe I can use this to process (vent) things for myself. I am not looking for answers or too much advice from others. I will try to keep things positive, but real.
