As I sit here looking out the window in the rain and imagine what it’s going to be like getting Charlie into school in his wheelchair in this mess, I am most definitely falling back on Occam’s razor. Here’s to hoping it goes simply and smoothly.

I can think of a number of ways in which Occam is going to be my friend and adviser today. Thanks for the introduction.

I want to hear the meltdown story.

I love that, Sarah! I hope we still do “our own thing” for at least a few hours a day when they get that age. I would love it to still be naps, but I’ll take whatever I can get. I also have a utopian vision of curling up on the couch with my daughter at the other end, both of us reading good books under the same blanket. Here’s to hoping.

Now that they are teens and tweens, we still “do our own thing” from 3:15 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This creates peace in our home, and we all are better for it. Great post!

I wrote a post about it, although I have yet to hit publish.

Who irons anymore?

Nap time (alone time, down time) is sacred. Without it, we’d all unravel.

Those sound like excellent mantras to carry through momhood ESPECIALLY if you had 6 under 9! I feel as though you should get a medal, or at least your kids saying thank you to you once a month. You’ve earned at LEAST 72 “thank yous” a year.

And I needed perspective for sure! (Had three under three as well, friend….and eventually six under 9…oh, and we all survived and even have had our beautiful moments of thriving 🙂 ) Anyway, thanks for sharing. Love your blog!

Good day! It seems like you have figured everything out already. Haha. I never heard of Occam’s Razor, not until now. And it definitely got me curious and curiosity killed the cat. Haha

Thank you, Christine! It really has made things a boatload easier for us.
