is lots and lots and lots of work. And I have it "easy" with all the meals being pre-prepared and my sister's kids having rides with friends to all of their different activities. Yes, this week I am playing mommy to my two and my sister's 5 kiddos while they are cruising the Caribbean. Just the shear amount of schedule coordination is overwhelming. 3 school aged kids, 2 preschoolers and 2 babies - dance classes, Activity days, track, Scouts, Preschool, piano lessons, homework, piano practicing. Plus doing hair of 5 (particular) little girls, coordinating outfits, finding shoes and jackets. Ushering out snacks, mass making PB&J, lots of diaper changes and constant, constant messes to clean up. My biggest fear is actually having to drive my sister's enormous Suburban somewhere.
Oh what fun!
So far my only miss was this morning when I forgot to feed one of the babies her breakfast. She woke up about an hour later than the other kids who had already eaten. Then we were at the park and I couldn't figure out why she was furiously gobbling down snacks. I seriously felt so bad and came home to feed her right away!
Cross your fingers that everyone survives (them and me). Until Sunday then...

You are the best sister! I can't even imagine how crazy taking care of 7 kids must be. Hope you make it until Sunday! Good Luck!
PS. I think you deserve an new camera for all the stress of moving the past few years, maybe you should play that card with Al.
I forgot you were at your sister's this week and I called you today. I don't have your cell number, but even if I did, I doubt you'd have time to talk! Good luck!
Good luck! I can't even imagine. I'm sure you're doing amazing.
You're one brave lady! Good luck with it! If anyone can do it - you can.
You are amazing. I love you and miss you.
Well - this whole thing is probably over now! How did it go? Did you survive?
