Is cloning available???

Sterling's 3rd tooth made it's appearance this morning at 4 am! Well that explains the high fever (in addition to influenza). Yes--another sleepless night! Mom--how on earth did you pull-off 6 kids??? I'm barely surviving my 4! If sleeplessness wasn't such a huge part of parenting, I think there would be a lot more "multiplying & replenishing"! It's tough to give each child quality time--when we're just doing our best to make sure they're eating, clothed, & completing their hours of homework each night. On the bright side, we've been making major headway w/ Cody. We've begun a creative new system that begins at school & continues at home. His reward is 20 minutes of one-on-one time w/ mom or dad at the end of the day. He's been amazing! It really goes to show how much they need that "alone time" w/ parents, & how little he was getting before we began the program. A lot of the folks here have in-house nannies and maids--which isn't necessarily used to create more quality time with the kids (in fact, it's usually just the opposite), but I would LOVE to have an extra pair of hands around the house WITH me. I need two of me! I would love to have help with all the mounds of laundry, dishes and cooking, and more help with tutoring the kids, really mentoring them, playing with them, and working WITH them when it's chore time. I need another woman around! Too bad we don't have the money for that!
