So I have been missing in action this week. My older sister and her husband are gone to Vegas and so I have full time duty of four children. I always joke with people that I have four kids and never gave birth once. There are definitely days it feels like it. This week my life seems to be all about the details, did I feed you, are you clean, house and laundry clean, homework done, what is the next activity we have, and a million more. I have come to the realization that having four children is utter chaos at all times.

It takes an army to raise these kids, or raise them well. My sister is luckier than most people she has a lot of help. Myself, my mother, a regular babysitter, I am sort of flying solo this week so I can appreciate having to do it without much assistance. Somehow you just do what you have to do.
