  9. You are wearing me out! I only have one child, but it was still hectic at times. Feel your pain!

    Blog posting idea~I type my info out on microsoft office word and then copy and paste to blogger. That way if I get distracted I can save it and go back later too!

  11. Oh yeah. Glad those days are behind me. I was very young and full of energy then! Have you tried blogging on Windows Live Writer? There is a free download (just Google it) and you can write your blog off line. Then publish to Blogger. A lot more choices for your photos! I love it.
