Tell me not to be so hard on myself

okay so I need someone to tell me to quit worrying so much and being so hard on myself. I think I need to be everything to everyone all the time . I guess that is how you put it. i am always thinking am I spending enough time with my kids, am I being too hard on them, when they grow up what will they say about growing up,etc... Why do I fret so much about this. Awhile ago everyone was in the woods working with dh on the deer stand except me and the two youngest ones. The baby got to fussing so I put our 1 yr old in the pack and play for him to play while I tended to the baby. Well then I got to feeling bad because he was in the pack and play. Even when he is happily playing in there , I think wow I have him locked up in jail just to help me. why do I stress myself out like that???? I have 7 kids and I do spend most days time with each and every one of them more than I can say sometimes about some people with 1 or 2 kids but I just sometimes worry do they get enough of me. Anyway, I know this sounds like alot of rambling but I just had to get this out or I would bust. Thanks for listening to me . God bless

a Day in the Life of me :)

Well my dh took our oldest daugther to play golf , which so makes me happy that he takes time with our kids. She loves to go with him.
Anyway so far while they have been gone I have gotten alot done. I have did laundry, made pumpkin bread(the little ones even helped), did my my devotions this morning(makes me feel so much better during the day),played with babies, got our one yr old down for nap and he is back up and just got our 2 yr old down for nap(wished they would nap at the same time). Got some bills taken care of,bottles and sippy cups washed, plenty of diaper changes, baby fed twice-lol. Now I sit here, I just emailed a friend and am not blogging. When I am done blogging I am gonna let the older boys go play in the woods while I play with our 1 yr old and hope to have some time with him , baby girl should be up soon though. Then I hope to spend some one on one time with our 6 yr old daugther although we had a good time making the pumpkin bread this morning. We talked about God, why he died on the cross, about hell,and such. It totally threw me off guard because she said I do not want anyone to go to hell , not even the bad people. She said when I get older I am gonna talk to them and tell them that Jesus died for them. But she said in the most innocent voice, I won't get too close though because they might hurt me. Wow, what our kids understand and how smart they are. HOw much they actually absorb. I totally think she is ready to be baptised. She has been asking but didn't think she was ready but after all she told me this morning about Jesus dying on the cross for us because he loved us and so we could be with him in heaven when we die, I totally think she is ready. Wow, I totally got off of what I was talking about but it just made me so proud of her. Well, I better go little man is ready to play and getting restless. More to come later.
Me and our 2 yr old and 6 yr old making pumpkin bread! Don't look at me, I am still in my pajama's and just had a baby 2 weeks ago.
