    I feel like I NEVER have a minute to get on here anymore. I used to be able to pop in daily, now when I do have a few seconds, I feel like I don't even know all of you. :(

    So, I am sorry if I didn't welcome you to FY, or if I haven't commented on how gorgeous your babies are. I swear, I would if I could!

    Five kids are just so time consuming. I am hopping from the minute I wake up, until the minute I go to sleep. Oh, and let's not forget the two nightly feedings my girls still think they need!

    Maybe after Christmas when I don't have the extra baking, wrapping, and other fun stuff to do I can catch up with everyone.

    Miss you all, Lisa

    Oh, don't apologize!!! This is a busy time of year and especially with 5 children! We'll be here when you have more time! Have a wonderful holiday!

    Lis, I sent you a message earlier about this. I feel exactly the same way. I went from being on here all the time to not at all. I miss everyone too!!!!

    I was just feeling the same way today, too! I haven't been on here in about a month and was really looking forward to checking in. Unfortunately, I am so tired I can't stay on another minute. I look forward to getting back on to "catch up" and see everyone's holiday photos.

    Hope everyone is doing great!!

    p.s. I can't complain too much b/c my boys are really having so much fun these days and I'm enjoying every minute. ;-)

    I bet 5 kids is very time consuming! I don't get done half of what I want to every day and I only have 2! I would love to have 5 one day though! They are worth it.

    I can only imagine I only have 3 and barely even have time to go to the bathroom during the day!

    I can't imagine either. I still have some time with my two but if I had a toddler too there is no way I'd get a free minute I'm sure!

    It's been insane here too. We decided to travel the weekend before and after to see our relatives, and getting the regular chores like laundry completed are hard enough without all the extra packing, wrapping and food prep.

    Yes, busy busy!

    Lisa, many people are busy around the holidays. I'm sure with five children, including infant twins, you would be even more so :hug: . I hope it slows down for you soon.

    I know just how you feel! I am feeling like I don't have time for anything anymore and you should see my laundry pile - no matter how many loads I do! I just keep thinking that at some point things have to go back to normal, but maybe this is normal now. :unknw:

    Lisa -- I'm in the same boat! I haven't been able to be on in a while and now I'm feeling like I don't really "know" everyone who's recently joined FY...
    It IS a busy time of year with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays and such - so we can be crazy busy together! :)

    I do at least 18 loads of laundry every week. I know what it is like to feel burried! I just wish a fairy would come and put it all neatly away for me! lol

    Funny but with a little hint of truth to it.
