I have mine for a week - a little bit hectic - I seem to be in the kitchen the whole time. Today we are off to the monkey park!!!

I will only say be sure to get your rest in those brief moments when you have 2 seconds to yourself, breathe in slowly & out just as slowly. Sounds silly but in that moment you can really appreciate that they will be gone in a blink of an eye. For me I couldn't keep up this pace for a week I would be so sick. I tried to have them help as much as possible so Sarah don't be afraid to ask for help they have been doing the same thing @ their own home everyday they CAN handle it too! ~Hugs~

This is your story and you are sticking to it! Hope when you awaken after a wonderful sleep this will all be part of a dream and the memories will be twice as nice. Love the saying :) Leaha
