Simple continuation -but- Will I make it?

We only have two days of VBS under our belts and it doesn’t look good.
What is it about VBS week?
We all feel irritable and sleep deprived.
Wrung-out and hung-out.
Why is that?
Why is it that bible school week tends to bring out the worst in us at home? Why haven’t I yet figured out a way to combat this?
I have let the children sleep in and it still continues, I’ve kept them to our normal daily schedule and it continues.
It simply continues.

and turn the hearts of the young toward Him, what do you expect the Evil Guy to do? Fold your laundry?!

You're doing good. Pat yourself on the back and come back smiling. That'll show 'em!

Ooh Hoo!

Oh, Jackie- Thanks so much for putting it in perspective and giving me a much needed chuckle.

In years past I would feel just as you do know. I bathed the week in prayer and the past two years have been better. This is what I did: The children shower the night before and sleep in their clothes, we eat a breakfast that can be taken in the van (granola bar, donut, muffin...), and everyone takes a nap right after lunch!!! This helps so much. This seems to make it much better for me and the five children.

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.

DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
