I have 4 kids - 18, 16, 13, and my baby is 11 today! My neice also lived with me for a couple of years so we had 5 then. GYM is my me-time. I also have a dear friend who I get up at the crack of dawn to walk 3 miles with every weekday morning. We have done this for a decade now!! No health benefits anymore but LOTS of mental benefits!! LOL I am a branch manager and loan officer at a community bank. I just finished a 4 year stint on our local school board. I teach Sunday school, write and direct plays and skits for our church kids, coach a church league basketball team and do the basketball devotions for the league. I also host a small group bible study in my home each week. I am very busy and very fulfilled. God has blessed me and I praise HIM for it!!0

been married for 12 years and have 3 kids. A 10yr, 8yr and 7yr. My 8yr old has autism. I'm so busy with taking my boys to Taekwondo 3 days out the week. Helping them with their homework and also helping my daughter with autism basic life skills. I'm now taking time for myself and losing weight. I think as mothers we should set aside time to work on us.0

You have alooooottttt going on. I am married with 5 kids also, only 3 that live with us though. 3 boys, ages: 16, 14 and 7. I thought my schedule was tight, but I don't see how you do it. My kids aren't in half as many activities as your kids, and I'll be complaining about always having stuff to do, and no time for myself. I take my hat off to you, you have def mastered being Supermom!0

3 girls, 9, 7, & 4 and I'm right with a lot of you and the hectic schedule - swim team practice and meets, basketball, classes at church, tai kwon do, my youngest wants to sign up for gymnastics and my 7 yo is signing up for a 'fit kids' boot camp - my oldest may be wise beyond her years, when I asked her about boot camp, she said, "it would be nice to have one night I could just stay home and relax..."0

Yay. My boy was Jan 17th Bet you're ready to get it over with. I hated being preggers!0 -
I got 2 -- An almost 16 year old boy and an almost 13 year old girl. The boy plays basketball and baseball and maybe even volleyball this year. My daughter sings in the choir and now will be taking up swimming. I work a 9 - 5 and go to school at night (hopefully graduating this year). Talk about out of time and out of energy! Just before I turned 40 I lost 30+ pounds on Weight Watchers. I worked part time back then and worked out 2x a day. Now 4 years later I gained those pounds and more and don't have the engery to do it like that again. I'm hoping something will give and I will get that motivation -- or at least be able to wake up early -- again.0

I have 2 girls ages 4 and 5. They are my pride and joy, and also the reason I gained 60lbs. LOL
I have a rule in my house called "quite time" they dont have to be asleep, but its mommy's time to relax.
I work full time 8-5 M-F, have a fiance, and two dogs. Its so much work being a parent, I mean even using the bathroom they wait outside the door for you. *ugh* LOL
Quiet time... ah those were the days! I did the same method with mine. An hour before "lights out" they had to be in their own rooms quietly reading or playing a constructive game alone like memory or building blocks or something of that nature. No Video games or TV, no rough housing around with one another. It worked great. 10 minutes before lights out it was brush teeth, go potty, and get water; when lights were out any child who left their bed was grounded for one day to the house; this helped avoid the nightly "mommy, I'm thirsty, I need to potty..." excuses that are so normal.
Ah I really miss those days. Now I am lucky if the Teen Queen is home when I go to bed LOL0 -
when I asked her about boot camp, she said, "it would be nice to have one night I could just stay home and relax..."

2 boys 6yrs. and 19 mos. one girl 4 mos. and oh yes I ask where's the me time everyday! I think they should attach the description of no more us time to the back of the "Don't shake the baby" paper in the hospital. I think we already know not to shake the baby it's the other stuff we'd like to be warned about (lol....).0
