So I went out to the mall today with my five children. Several times people stopped me to ask me if they were all mine. When I said yes their reply was, "I can't believe you're brave enough to bring them all to the mall", or "Bless your heart" or "I don't know how you do it". After being there awhile I stopped and thought 'I'm the luckiest person in the world' Here I am and these five beautiful, funny, interesting little people want my attention. They each wanted to talk to me, tell me about the exciting things they saw at the mall, hug my legs, or just stand close to me. So instead of wondering howdo I do it or what was I thinking, I just felt extremely blessed and extremely lucky.

You are totally blessed!
I love this post!
You put it all so well!
It reminded me of when I lived back east and people would yell when I crossed the parking lot: "Hey Lady, ya got enough kids!?!!?". Apparently not since I had two more. I finally started saying, "this is what I've always wanted to do. I am living my dream."
Your children are all so beautiful, I'm so glad you feel you are living your dream, too :)
