When I get to my wits end with so many things going on, I make a list of everything I feel like I have to do. Once the list is made I look at it and decide how to prioritize everything, and if something can wait a day or so, then make it wait. I can't even imagine how busy you are working and 4 kids at home. Instead of ice cream make the kids smoothies, it will be good for all of you and they can choose what fruit they want and it is a good, icy treat. Good luck!!
