That's great Donna. I wish I were at peace with being done, but I am not....at least not yet. I know for sure that we won't have more then six....my body couldn't handle it....but it's just trying to decide on that one more or not that is driving me crazy. I WANT to be at peace with being done, but I am not.
I sooo know what you are talking about Peculiar. I *think* we are done, but yet, my DH and I talk as if we are not. I think, in our minds, we are done unless it is a miracle baby. Sometimes I even wish someone would "dop" one off on our door step, any young child up to the age of 5. But, for me, if it doesn't happen.... I will be okay. Noah is the best baby for me to get all my cuddles in before grandchildren come. So I am at peace... but yet, I wish circumstances were better so that we could have more children, but I have come to realize that this is our life and I am at peace with that, but if God chooses to bless us with another, I know it would be His will and He would provide.

I am having a little bit of mommy boot camp here myself. After a week of having my kids up at grandma's and grandpa's and then a few days home, then one taking off to camp, then my parents coming here for the 4th of July weekend.... well.... I have 3 weeks of boot camp before the next camp, although, I don't think I will need to have boot camp for more than a few days.

I have not decided if I want to do boot camp or call my mommy.
She has a few days off and wanted to spend some time with the boys. So I have wondered if they should just go stay at her place for a day or so, lol, and give this mommy a break!
Btw, my mommy got a promotion the other day, which came sooner than expected because it appears they are fast-tracking her, which is very cool.

Too bad Justice wasn't twins.
I guess that's why I felt a sense of sadness when you said this was (maybe) it for you, and I didn't feel that way when Donna said they were done (no offense, Donna-I know you and Sarah are equally good parents). I just always had a feeling about you having 6, but with Donna 5 seemed just right. But I TOTALLY understand about health and financial issues and all that, so I am certainly not trying to lay a guilt trip on you. I know adoption is expensive, but maybe God's going to plop some baby in your lap that's in the state system or something that you won't have to pay for. Although if you are opposed for that to happen, I mean no offense.
By the way, does Jake ever feel all alone, being so far apart in age from the other boys?
I sometimes wish we had twins too...one pregnancy and two babies!!!!
We aren't led to (called?) adopt....neither of us has a heart that is led that direction. We wouldn't mind doing foster care in the future (like far away future)....but not adoption. Just not what we feel God has laid on our hearts.
Jake likes being the oldest and "only" boy that old...he has his own space (which he needs often). Jack plays some things with him now...and Hannah is close to his age and plays things with him too. My kids don't really have gender specific playing rolls...they all play spy and legos and dolls and cooking....very well balanced kids!!!

I am so done with being pregnant. Which is good because I can't get pregnant anymore.
i hope that the Lord will provide us with more children.
I hadn't realized how much I miss having babies until I help a baby at church yesterday. He felt soooo good. And his little bald head and baby scent...<sniff> he felt like one of my babies when they were itty-bitty.

Oooooh! I have some great math books for mister know it all. We will keep him busy making up answer keys for Russ' Algebra, calculus, and trig books. Of course we will make sure that he is giving us the correct answers since we would expect no less than his best. Oh, and I will finally have someone to talk with about all those history, geograghy and science books that we collected while at college! what fun!
Donna, I have picked out several books for you to read through. I am thinking about starting a thread in here to go over books for possible reading for hsing and beyond. I might save them for the 13 year old know it all. He will have so much time on his hands because he won't have school that I figure that maybe he can read them and give me reports fort future reference.
Oh, man! Fred will Love having someone around to share the outside chores with! We have a BIIIIIG yard, but we haven't had the gas money to keep iit all done. But a 13 year old with nothing else to do but wack at weeds would be great! Russ say 13 year old can borrow his pocket knife to cut down those weeds.

BTW, ds thinks sisters are smarter than mommies. He's kind of upset today because I had them watch the power point tribute to my brother set to the song "If you could see me now" and he watched it OK but than bawled on my shoulder. My shirt was wet. I guess big sis did a better job of comforting him than I did.

I'm glad someone understands. LOL And yeah, I'd much rather have a nice, big t-storm right now than in the middle of the night when I'll end up with three extra bodies in my bed and no sleep for anyone.

My dh, sil and I had a talk with my mil yesterday. She is insisting on having her surgery done at the local hospital. I think she's being incredibly foolish, but she is still competent and has the right to be foolish if she so desires. Her surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. I am not hopeful for a good outcome. 
I am not 100% sure that my mil is saved. She grew up in the Lutheran church, taught Sunday School for years, etc. but I'm not sure that she is certain she will go to heaven. My dh is down there now staying with her, but he is very non-confrontational and I am not confident that he will say anything to her. I will push him in that direction when I talk to him tomorrow, but I'm not sure he'll do it. Prayers in that direction would be appreciated.
I am still having car issues. I need to take mine back tomorrow (the one I just picked up Friday night) because it is doing something else weird. 
Can I rewind to last week and start over?
