I ran around, trying to watch all 9 of our children run around, and keep them from getting killed. 

Ash was wrestling his younger brothers and one of his sisters on our mats and winning all the matches. That was Ashton, 14. Sanders or Anders, 12. Kai, 8. Mackenzie, or Ken 3. 

Eight year old's Candice and Caydence were chasing each other around our backyard.

Dominic, our dramatic six year old was scream crying on the slide.

Charlotte was staring at me, she's the 6 month old.

No wait, now she's screaming.

Han had joined in in the wrestling.

Eveleigh, 10, was using a butter knife she stole and was chasing whoever around everywhere. Now the twins. 

It was lunch time.

You know what you do?

I got up, Char in her carrier and screamed.

"LUNCH TIME!" All the kids ran for the house and I set out food and the fruit basket.

Gone in minutes.

They went right back out, now doing I don't know what.

I set Char down for a nap and I got planning for school tomorrow, I still do art school. I just bring Char to school. All my students don't mind. All the kids go to school, or daycare, then after school care. Han works for a lumber company. Her own, actually. 

And you know what?

I don't wake up stressed. I wake up happy.
