I remember so well sitting around that BIG dining room table, homeschooling 7 children with 5 more around my feet. Whoa!! Those were the days !
I had a brainstorm one day and while out doing errands I decided to stop at the hardware store and pick up a couple of signs. You know those plastic ones ..... Anyway. I bought one that had one BIG word on it
DANGER
I decided that it was only fair to warn my family when I was having a particularly hard,emotional, or stressed out day. I explained to them, as I clipped it on the fridge, that when they would see that sign that it was best to just give me some S P A C E!. Fair warning.
Sometimes we just think people should know.....Well they don't I don't know any mind-readers personally.
So take this as just a little heads up suggesting that you be sure to communicate with your children and husband etc. when you are needing a little extra "something".
PS I also got a sign that said "HELP WANTED" to stick in the window when my husband was on his way home.....I'm not sure if he thought that was a good idea or not :)
