"I don't want this to sound sarcastic because its not, but I don't see
how ya'll have so much time to write these long posts and still spend
"most?" of your time with your kids and know what they are up to every
minute, in the next room. "

Funny thing...I work full time (33 hours per week), find time to post,
write, do art AND spend almost every moment away from work with my
children. They are usually happily doing something next to me OR
asleep when I post OR engaged in something and don't need me at the
moment.

My kids are pretty happy folks and they get along very well 98% of the
time. Sierra and Jalen are content to play games together, as are the
older boys and sometimes they're all together doing some game or art
project.

I write fast, I talk fast, I think fast. I'd probably be called
"hyper" by some.:) I can live with that.

Tonight, I got home from work (dh was working on taxes while the kids
played their own things) fed them, watched Sierra and Jalen battling
on a video game, chatted with the older boys, then sat down to read
for a bit.
I spend about 15-20 minutes in the morning and maybe 1/2 hour at night
online. My time online is almost always interrupted, I just grab
minutes here and there. Days off I can sometimes get a little more in,
but we're usually too busy hiking, or being with friends or creating
art or something fun. I can hear Jalen getting frustrated with the
game right now...so time to get off. This post took me about 3
minutes to write. Oh, I blog too.....
