http://letsgetcracken.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
The life and times of an unperfect Wife and Mother of 8! Monday, July 25, 2011. Yes I am still alive.barely! And so, since Kallen decided to wake me from my restless sleep and then promptly go back to sleep himself, I am going to take these few quiet moments and try to get caught up. I guess I should apologize for the length of this post now. This is like 3 posts in one! Day Camp. Day Camp. Day Camp. Yes, every boy sat this still and paid this close attention to directions. ;). Time I had at camp! I can'...

Let's get 'Cracken!: March 2011
http://letsgetcracken.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
The life and times of an unperfect Wife and Mother of 8! Monday, March 14, 2011. This story was sent to me by a great friend that I have know for over 20 years. The story resonated in my soul. This is how I am feeling today! One of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't you see I'm on the phone? Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can you open this? I'm a satellite guide to answer, 'What number is the Disney Channel? 2) These ...

Let's get 'Cracken!: December 2010

The life and times of an unperfect Wife and Mother of 8! Monday, December 13, 2010. We have now come down to only 12 days before Christmas and I am saying, "Bah Humbug! I have no idea what's gotten into me, but I am just not feeling it this year. Edecorate the tree a thousand times because, even though my kids decorate it the first time around, everyone moves things around and lumps like things together. (You must know how nuts that makes me.). What the heck is wrong with me? So, I did some searching....

Let's get 'Cracken!: Postpartum Depression...It is REAL
http://letsgetcracken.blogspot.com/2011/02/postpartum-depressionit-is-real.html
The life and times of an unperfect Wife and Mother of 8! Thursday, February 17, 2011. Postpartum Depression.It is REAL. It seems I have been a virtual recluse since I had my youngest son, Kallen. I am very social and outgoing by nature, and so the fact that I was all but gone from the prying eyes of anyone (both physically and on-line) should have been a red flag for me. I just thought I was stressed out. I mean, who ever wants to go anywhere with a very busy 2 year old and a nursing baby! And all this w...

Let's get 'Cracken!: November 2010
http://letsgetcracken.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
The life and times of an unperfect Wife and Mother of 8! Sunday, November 28, 2010. Alone with my thoughts. Sitting on my couch at 6:00 in the morning with a finally sleeping baby in my arms. My poor little guy just got his first cold and his struggles for breath keep waking him up. The only time he seems somewhat content is when I am holding him. I haven't slept much in the last two days, but looking at Kallen's beautiful, perfect little self, how could I not be so glad he's here; apart of our family.
