Thank you SOO much everyone, I really really appreciate all the advice and support and I am so thankful for this group and all of YOU! I actually cried reading the responces lol just because I haven't had anyone to talk to about this!! I am a big planner (meaning I always prepare everything the night before with my own family/kids...be it next days meals, activities, etc!). I also have an extremely supportive husband that is off work early every other day and is going to take our kids downstairs or out or will help me with the daycare kids....which makes me feel alot better! I will just have to see how it goes and hope for the best and like some of you mentioned, cut myself a break if I don't think I can handle it long term (with that many kids)! I for sure don't want to burn out, and I did make this move so I could be with my kids...but I also have to make enough money to be able to stay home with them! We have budgeted, cut back and sacrificed a lot already but I still need to bring in a certain amount of money. I couldn’t go back to my job (doing intensive one on one intervention with children with Autism) and then come home and NOT be burned out! I know times might get crazy with this many kids, and there may be times that I need to comfort another child instead of my own when they want it…but at least I am there and they can see me and it is a heck of a lot better than going back to work! I also made my hours only 7:30-5…most kids won’t be dropped off until 8:30-9 and picked up by 4:30…I think this will help too!
