There are many days where having a big family is just wonderful. I love to see the interaction between the kids and how they can help out each other or entertain each other.

Then, there are times where being a big family means that it takes that much longer for a bout of stomach flu to get through the family. One night you deal with one, next time it's the other, and then you're not done...

That really makes be thankful that I have usually healthy kids.

And I am now back on the P90X bandwagon. It's too challenging for me, but I just skip the parts that are too hard and I'm doing it anyway.
