I grew up in a large family (hi, my official family name was/is 3 of 6) and I feel your pain. hahaha (I laugh so I don't cry, etc. hehe) I hope you make it through the holiday season well and that you are gentle with yourself. I have the utmost respect for the hard work you do and basically suffer through being a mom of so many children.
May you find a few moments of peace and joy amongst the general chaos of life!
Merry Christmas and/or happy holidays or whatever you prefer to call this time of year! :)
I'm a humanist/non-religious so I just call it the start of winter and the time for eating too much food and looking at some pretty lights on some houses. (and hearing some annoying Santa Claus related songs, etc. hahaha)
