Managing five

It wasn't so long ago I sat in Kristina's living room and listened to several women I admire talk about five children being the testing point in their careers as stay at home superstars. These women have amazed me in many ways. These are the kind of women who lovingly place their warm apple pie in the window sill to cool while they help their children understand everything from Paul to polynomials, then off to soccer practice then back to their immaculate home in time to have dinner steaming on the table for their husband.

For lack of a better word it was wonderful to see the human side of these women. Now I am there, where they were... at five kids, trying to figure out how to balance it all "through my Christ who strengthens me."
