  4. Wow! You've listed some very specific goals- best wishes as you strive to accomplish them (no easy feat with 5 children!). I've got 4, and so I can really relate to many of the things you wrote about. Like you, I'm discovering that it's vital to put in time and effort for just ME in order to take care of everyone else! Good luck! :)
