I'm so glad! The older I get the less I am able to handle chaos. Boring days suit me just fine!

My secret is to take a deep breath and prioritise. First you must intervene where you see blood or tears, the rest...pending the urgency or mom's mood. 😂
Oh howbI'd wish one of those days when you can say there is nothing to do...just sit and contemplate. 🙂

No don't wish that. I was sitting here one day reading and remembering a time when my children were young and I would say that same thing. I can't wait for the day when I can just sit all day and actually read a book! And then I got MS. I can no longer walk. I can no longer drive. And I have all day to sit and read a book. Be careful what you wish for. Seriously! Wishes do come true.

Yes, you are right. But sometimes it gets so hard and difficult.
Sorry to hear about your problems. I will tell you why I love reading. Every book is a new adventure. If I close my eyes, I could transport myself to that place: a deserted beach, a beautiful forest or a desert oasis. Mind is a powerful instrument so we should make it work for us.
And now you have all these friends on Steemit. I know it cannot replace the pleasure of a long walk or working in the garden but I hope it gives you a little comfort.

I raised three kids and ran a business at the same time. I understand your longing to have time for yourself.
Books do the same for me... And now so does eSteem! I can still travel the world from the comfort of my living room!

Wow! Three kids? This is amazing. A true dedicated mother. 😍

I had the 2 boys first, and tried one more time for a girl!. It worked!
