Thanks Momof4. So far with 5 children I can handle it pretty well. I get activites in and have a moment to sit and take a break here and there. I do prep. most of my activites and food in the PM and LOVE the crockpot. I should be getting a second one It helps that the kids I have are doing so great so far too. I am worried about what parents will say as I did tell them I was only taking 4 and at the beginning 3 of them where part time. Now one is full time and the other 2 at 4 days/week... Biz is a booming To keep the traffic down I've been doing some stations ... Seems to work. Anyway, I guess I'll try and see what is my true limit. If I can handle it GOOD, if I can't then I'll just ben honest with the parents. I have time to find a few game plan.
