I think (I hope!) I have learned to pace myself but I still have days that exhaust me. Keeping busy is good, but enjoying quiet times is good too.

They keep me busy and very active. Glad to see them go home on Friday and by Saturday afternoon miss them and the chaos they bring with them. In March will start keeping their cousin, my newest grandson, that will up my game! Do like to keep them, but would be nice to pick and choose if there is a day I feel tired. Such is life though and I feel better being busy.
